asked by: Will
Expert Reply:
The 7,500 lb Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs # F2709 are honestly overkill for your 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500 so I recommend the 5,000 lb Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2613.
Even if you're towing a bigger 5th wheel trailer the pin weight isn't going to be more than the 5k capacity of the standard Ride-Rite springs, and you'd be paying more without getting any real benefit.
Going with air bags is really smart to support your Chevy's suspension, and to supplement the bags I do highly recommend adding a compressor to make both monitoring and maintaining the air bags much easier. The best option to do so is a wireless compressor, the Air Command Compressor System # F2610.
Finally, to avoid any leaks when installing the air bags you'll want to use Air Hose Cutter # AL10530.
