Recommended Air Bags for a 2024 GMC Sierra 3500
Question:
What air bags do you recommend for a 2024 GMC Sierra 3500 pulling a 5th wheel trailer?

Expert Reply:
To add a set of air bags to your 2024 GMC Sierra 3500, I recommend the Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs item # F2709. These air bags include custom fit brackets that are compatible with in bed hitches. They work with both the 2WD and 4WD models along with both the 6-3/4' and 8' bed lengths.
These air bags have a 7,500 lbs capacity that will level out the rear end of your Sierra when you are towing your 5th wheel trailer or if you're hauling a heavy load in the bed.
I have attached an installation video to help you get these air bags set up and show you what they look like once installed.
I recommend adding the Air Command Heavy Duty Compressor System item # F56VV. This onboard compressor will allow you to adjust the PSI in your air bags from your phone.
