Air Suspension Enhancement and Compressor Recommendation for a 2012 Chevy Silverado 2500HD
Question:
2012 Silverado 2500HD Diesel. Fifth Wheel: C16541 Firestone ride-rite airbags- F2430 can these 2 items be installed at the same time? I would like to install the airbags with a compress and cab mounted controller.

Helpful Expert Reply:
The Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2430 that you referenced is confirmed to fit your 2012 Chevy Silverado and would not interfere with the fifth wheel rails. This would be a great way to provide additional support for your rear suspension while towing your trailer.
For a compressor kit with an in-cab controller check out the part # F2178. This will allow you to monitor and control the air pressure in the bags from inside your vehicle.
