Recommended Suspension Enhancement for 2024 Chevy Silverado 3500 Towing 5th Wheel
Question:
I'm looking for extra support while towing my 5th wheel with my 2024 Silverado 3500. Would air bags be the way to go? Open to any recommendations you might have. Thanks.

Air bags are going to be the best option for your 2024 Silverado 3500. I recommend the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2613. These have a load-leveling capacity of 5,000 lbs and will help absorb road shock while keeping you level. They feature a double-convoluted design, 4 layers of reinforced rubber, and the time-proven, rolled crimp seal to keep the bags anchored. They also come with a lifetime warranty.
I also highly recommend adding an air compressor like the Firestone Air Command II # F2219. This will allow you to adjust the pressure of the air bags from the cab of the truck no matter where you go with your 5th wheel. It is a dual-path system so you can control the pressure independently or equally.
I have attached some installation videos below for your reference.
