Speaker 1: Today in our 2016 GMC Sierra 2500HD, we'll be having a look at and installing the Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs, part number F2702 in conjunction with the Lift Spacers for Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs for vehicles with a two inch lift, part number F2366.Now here's what our airbags look like installed. These airbags will give us a low leveling capacity of up to 7,500 pounds. It will not increase our gross vehicle weight rating by 7,500 pounds, this will maintain our ride quality and ride height with 7,500 pounds of weight in the bed. You'll want to consult with your owners manual of your truck and see if the vehicle is capable of towing or hauling that much weight before you attempt to do so, you don't want to cause damage to your vehicle.These airbags support anywhere between 5 and 150 PSI of air pressure. Unlike a lot of other competitors airbags on the market these are actually designed to be able to have the rear axle fully suspended when the truck is raised in the air for service. Other airbags from different manufacturers sometimes require the axle to be supported and not have the full weight of it hanging down because it could damage the airbag itself. more
