Recommended Air Bags for 2014 Chevy Silverado 1500

Question:

So I’m interested in getting an airbag suspension kit for my 2014 Chevy Silverado 1500 I’ve got stuff from your outfit before and it’s always been great stuff with great service Any recommendations? I would also like to add an onboard air compressor too I don’t do a lot of towing but I’ve added a deck system drawers in the bed with a gear rack and a tent on top of that and still planning on adding a roof rack for tools and stuff for camping, I can already feel the weight so figured it was time to upgrade the suspension Thanks for any recommendations

All of that gear adds up quickly so air bags are definitely a great idea. I always recommend Firestone since they have the best construction by far and are incredibly reliable. For your 2014 Silverado 1500 the correct kit would be the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2430. These have 5,000 lbs of load-leveling capacity and the air springs come with a limited lifetime warranty.

For a compressor I like the Firestone Air Command # F2610. This is a single-path system so it will keep the same pressure in each air bag. It is also wireless so you can control it through your smartphone and won't have additional gauges to install in the cab of your truck.

I have attached some installation videos below for your reference.
