The only difference between the standard Firestone Ride-Rite air bags and the Red Labels for your 2024 GMC Sierra 3500, is the weight rating. Standard is 5,000 lbs while the Red Label is 7,500 lbs:

- Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2613
- Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs # F2709

I recommend going with the Red Label just because it means you don't have to fill the bags up as much to get the support you're needing, which in turn means the bags will last longer since they aren't being stretched as much. We've actually had the opportunity to install these on a 2024 Sierra 3500 so I'm attaching an installation link as well as a photo for you to check out.

I also recommend checking out the Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System for Air Helper Springs # AL58WQ which gives you full control of monitoring and adjusting the amount of pressure in your Red Label system via the phone app instead of having to do this manually at the back of the vehicle.
