• Comparing the Air Lift 7500 Airbags vs Firestone 7500 Airbags for a 2015 GMC Sierra 3500
  For your 2015 GMC Sierra 3500 Denali DRW 4x4, I recommend using the Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs part # F2709 over the Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Air Helper Springs part # AL57538 for two reasons. The first reason is that the Air Lift kit requires drilling into the frame (minimal) whereas the Firestone kit is completely drill free. The second reason is in regards to the construction of the airbags. The Firestone airbags use a crimp rolled design which is...

• How to Use Air Lift LoadLifter Air Bags on a 2015 GMC Sierra 2500 with 6 Inch Lift
  Yes, the Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Air Helper Springs part # AL57538 will work on your 2015 GMC Sierra 2500. However, you don't need to use the 7500 XL system nor would I advise it. Instead, I recommend the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs part # AL57338. The 7,500 lb and 5,000 lb weight capacity you see is for pin/tongue weight, not gross trailer weight as the the pin/tongue weight is the only part that is directly over the top of the airbags. They will however both do an...

• Can Air Lift 5000 Kit Convert to 7500 Kit with Just Air Bag Swap
  To know if there's a 7500 air bag that could fit in place of a 5000 kit I would need to know what kit you have now so I could see what brackets the 7500 kit for the same application uses and see if the bag is available.

• Do I Need Spacers to Install a Air Bag Kit on a 2019 Chevy Silverado 2500 w/ a 5" lift?
  You will definitely need a couple of spacers to add the Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Air Helper Springs item # AL57538. Most if not all 5" lifts on Chevy trucks are not 5" in the rear because of the rake Silverado's come with from the factory. You most likely need a 3" spacer like item # F2367. The easiest way to tell what size spacer you need is to measure your lifting block. Here are the options for 2" and 4" spacers if your lift is not 3" in the rear. 2" Spacer item # AL52420 4" Spacer...

  Air Lift has a LoadLifter 7500 XL kit that fits your 2020 Chevy Silverado 3500 with the kit part # AL57541 but the kit you mentioned does not fit your truck.

For a compressor kit then the heavy duty part # AL25854 will work great to make inflating the bags and maintaining them easier. The compressor will inflate faster than standard compressors and the gauge inside the vehicle will allow...

• Firestone 7500 Air Bags vs. Air Lift 7500 Air Bags for 2019 GMC Sierra 3500 2WD
  The 7,500 lb air bag kit I highly recommend for your 2019 GMC Sierra 3500 two-wheel drive are the Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs # F2709 because of the superior construction of the bags compared to the Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Air Helper Springs # AL57538. The reason the Firestone air bags are higher in quality than the Air Lift is because the Firestone bags are constructed with four layers of rubber which is reinforced, while the Air Lift bags are a double-ply...

• Best Airbags for 2018 GMC Sierra 3500HD with a B&W 5th Wheel Hitch Installed
  Though the Air Lift # AL57538 and the Firestone # F2709 both have a 7,500 pound load capacity, lifetime warranty, will work with an in bed hitch, and are made in the U.S.A., I do prefer the Firestone. Reason being, the air bags for the # F2709 are 4 ply, whereas the air bags on the # AL57538 are 2 ply. This gives the bags more durability and a longer lifespan. Other than some bracketry differences, this is the deciding factor for me. I did include install videos of both products for you...

• Best Airbags for a 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 With Factory Prep Package
  For your 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 3500, I recommend the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs part # F2609 over the Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Air Helper Springs part # AL57538. The Firestone Red Label airbags will do an excellent job of helping to support your truck bed camper or gooseneck trailer. They have a 7,500 lb weight capacity which will work better for you because you are going to be using an in-bed camper which will add more weight over the rear axle than with a 5th wheel or...

  Both the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000, Item # AL57338, and 7500 XL, Item # AL57538, fit your 2018 GMC Sierra 2500. When you are running unloaded you will have a stiffer ride.

It is also for occasional towing and hauling. The LoadLifter 7500 XL works much like the LoadLifter 5000 but handles a 7,500-lb capacity....

  Since your 2018 Chevy Silverado 3500 is built on a cab and chassis frame and not a truck frame you'd have to go a different route for rear suspension enhancement like with the # TGMRCK25D as there aren't any air bag kits that fit your truck configuration.

• Why Is Drilling Required for the Air Lift 7500 Airbags On a 2018 GMC Sierra 3500 With 5th Wheel
  There are two ways to install the Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Air Helper Springs part # AL57538 on your 2018 GMC Sierra 3500, using the included u-bolts or drilling the brackets directly to the underside of the frame. The u-bolts would be used for when there are no in-bed hitch brackets that attach to the side of the frame but if you do have these then the u-bolts won't work because of where the in-bed hitch brackets mount therefore you will have to drill into the underside of the frame...
