Will Firestone Ride Rite # F2250 Intended for 2004 Silverado 2500 HD work on a 2500 LD Model
Question:
Is there any reason this would not work on a 2500 ld? I would prefer not to drill holes into the fame.

Expert Reply:
The 2004 Silverado 2500 LD used the 1500 frame with the 2500 suspension, which is why the # F2250 which is compatible with the HD models won't work for your truck.
For the 2500 LD model, you'll need to use the # F2190 Ride Rite kit, which unfortunately would require a total of four 7/16 inch holes be drilled in the truck frame. I've found that instead of beginning with a 7/16 inch drill bit, beginning with a smaller bit like a 3/16 and gradually stepping up in size makes drilling the hole much easier.
I'll link you to some articles with more information about Firestone Air Suspensions.
