Q1: Why does my Silverado 1500 need an air suspension upgrade?
A: A Silverado 1500 air suspension kit helps provide additional rear suspension support when towing trailers, hauling cargo, or carrying heavy loads. It helps reduce rear-end sag and maintain a more level ride height.
Q2: Will this air suspension kit change my Silverado’s factory ride?
A: No. This Silverado 1500 air suspension kit works with your existing factory suspension and provides additional support only when extra load is added.
Q3: Is this air suspension kit designed for everyday driving or only towing?
A: This Silverado 1500 air suspension kit is designed for both daily driving and towing. Lower air pressure can maintain comfort during unloaded driving, while higher pressure provides more support under load.

A: Yes. This Silverado 1500 air suspension kit helps reduce rear squat and improve vehicle stability when towing travel trailers, boats, utility trailers, and other loads.
Q5: What air pressure should I run in this Silverado 1500 air suspension kit?
A: Air pressure depends on your load and driving conditions. Lower pressure is suitable for unloaded driving, while higher pressure provides additional support for towing and hauling.
Customers praised this air suspension kit for its easy installation and effectiveness in leveling heavy loads while towing. "Easiest install for air bags I've ever had," noted one reviewer.

However, several customers mentioned instructions need improvement and some air fittings may require replacement.
- Easiest install for air bags I've ever had. Took an hour.

Product was fairly easy to install, if you have some wrenching experience, although the installation instructions are more exploded diagram than instructions. Can independently adjust each side of the vehicle. Easy solution if you need some additional support under your rear end.
Fits as it should. Easy to install. It's not air suspension. But if you're here, you know what you're looking at. It helped me load heavier loads with less impact on my rear axle. Good strong set. Durable.
Nice product. Well built. Good value for the price . A little difficult for an old guy laying on his back in the driveway but got it done
Seem good so far but the instructions are not very good
My husband is well pleased with these air bags. It keeps the weight of our travel trailer more level.
We have a new trailer and felt that our GMC truck could use an upgrade in the suspension. This kit has most of the parts needed and I am impressed with the quality of the parts. The brackets are thick steel and the supplied bolts seem to be of good quality. The paint quality is very good also and that sexy blue is sweet too. You do not get a compressor with this kit so that part is up to you. This kit is a big job to install so it may be helpful to call your automotive buddies in on this one. Good stuff here.
The air bags went on my 2013 gmc. The air bags work fine. The air fits are junk throw them away and buy old fashion compression fittings. Put them on no leaks. The instructions say the one’s that comes with the kit can leak 1 to 5lbs per week. Overall the bags and kit do a nice job.
Installation was very easy once I figured out the directions that came with the kit.Ran the airlines to an aftermarket compressor that came with a gauge and switch to turn on the compressor.Makes hauling heavy trailers a lot easier, and keeps the rear suspension nice and firm.
I modified this kit to work with my 2010 Chevy Tahoe. I also got a air compressor designed for aftermarket add-on air suspension systems.Obviously I can't speak to how installation would be on a vehicle it's designed to be installed on, but with everything that came with the kit I'm guessing it's fairly easy if you know anything about working on cars/trucks.
Love it and was and easy install
Easiest install for air bags I’ve ever had. Took an hour, if it’s not going smooth you have the wrong kit
I am more than satisfied with this product it saved me a $1000 and plus buying a new truck now I can tow my camper with no issues
This is a good quality air suspension kit. It fits as it should and installs relatively easy.
This rear air bag suspension kit had good instructions (which is rare these days!). These aren't super easy to install, it helps to have some mechanical knowledge. This was ordered for a 2008 Chevy Silverado. This set came with the accessories. It helps assist with trailer towing. Everything looks well made and we expect it to work fine, but we'll update after install if I remember!
My buddy and I installed a rear air bags suspension kit on my 2015 Chevrolet Silverado, and it's been a great addition for towing. The kit is designed for 2007-2018 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500 trucks, offering a load-leveling capacity of up to 5000 lbs. This kit is a perfect replacement for Firestone 2430 Ride Rite airbags.The installation process was straightforward, thanks to the clear instructions provided. Once installed, I noticed an immediate improvement in the truck's stability and handling, especially when towing heavy loads. The ride is much smoother, and the rear end no longer sags under the weight of the trailer.The build quality of the airbags is excellent, and they feel durable and robust. Adjusting the air pressure is easy, allowing me to customize the ride height and firmness according to the load. The price is reasonable for the performance and peace of mind it offers.
great kit and easy to install with a friend. we busted this out on the weekend and now the truck tows the camper without any sag in the rear and the ride doesn't feel stiff either. I'm impressed for sure.I didn't wanna run air lines or install an onboard air system since I can manually air these up and down with no problem with my jump box.
I'm pleased with this air suspension kit. I ordered it to help level out my Sierra 1500 while towing our camper/toy hauler, and it works quite well. The air bags seem to be very strong and durable, and the mounting brackets are robust. Installation was easy enough, and everything lined up and mounted to my truck without too much hassle. I can definitely tell a difference while towing the camper, as my truck now sits more level and doesn't squat nearly as much in the rear. This results in safer towing, and a better overall ride. For me the sweet spot is around 75 - 80 PSI. I think this is a good value given how much it's improved our towing / camping experience. I'd buy it again.Recommended.
This bolted right up to my Sierra in about two hours. If you're handy with tools and comfortable getting your hands dirty this is a pretty straightforward install and makes a pretty big improvement to your rear suspension
Great product with excellent quality and is much more affordable. Excellent product and an excellent value!
This kit is has everything in it for a quick and easy installation. All the parts are quality and the instructions are great. I had the kit installed fully in under an hour. Over the years I have installed air bags on all my trucks. It helps especially well on soft rear springs. soft rear springs work really well for comfortable everyday and off road riding and the air bags are an excellent compromise for towing and load hauling. I like the independent fill for occasional towing to get the perfect ride height and handling. This set has nice air springs and is a tremendous value over the brand name set I bought last time. This set seems just as good too! Super happy!
This is the perfect air suspension kit for my husband's 2018 Chevy silverado! The old basic suspension that it came with was beginning to give him a hard time so he wanted to swap out to air suspension! This is a very nice and complete kit to swap out your suspension for air suspension! Just make sure you read what years and models these will match up with before purchasing and make sure that it will match up with your particular truck! As long as you do that this is definitely worth every penny! All of the pieces feel very high quality and very durable! Nothing feels overly cheap or easily breakable! My husband is very familiar with doing swaps like this so this took him little to no time and he said it was a very easy and straightforward installation. If you have any questions about how to do it there is some YouTube videos that can show you how as well as the manual that this comes with. This is definitely a complete kit and comes with everything you will need! Really could not be happier with this! Definitely think it's an amazing value for your money just by how nice it is in the quality! If you are thinking about it don't hesitate it is definitely very nice!
This kit is mainly for the rear suspension. Its a must have if you are often towing or have heavy loads in the bed. The air springs are just like the ones used on heavy duty trucks. It provides extra support when there is a heavy load. It helps maintain balanced right height as well as reduce load on the main suspension shocks. The kit includes all the hardware to install. Thick steel mounting brackets are strong and fits good without any modification. Ride height is easily adjustable by either inflating or deflating the air spring. Overall great quality kit.
Exactly As described and pictured. Came with everything in listing. Should be easy to install. Package does have a good amount of weight. All parts seem very well made abd durable.
Nice kit that was designed well to fit around the factory suspension and mounts.I was able to install without any major issues or having to modify. Now, I need to add in cab air control so I don't have to worry about manually checking and adjusting pressure.
Ordered this kit to fit 3/4 ton Chevy truck, But it's made for half tons. That's a my bad! Should have paid more attention when ordering. But anyway instead of trying to return it, I noticed that I could modify it to work on 3/4 ton by cutting out lower plated some and drilling new bolt holes and cutting a couple of holes in the truck and a few hours later they were on and working well. It's a well built kit that will bolt right on to a Chevy half ton.
This was very simple to install and works great. Took me an hour and forty five minutes start to finish in my driveway.
No issues so far. Pretty straight forward installation instructions. Works great.This kit has no compressor. You need to do research and choose appropriate one for your needs. I already had it installed on truck so it was easy for me to add solenoid with switch for these bags.Good quality kit. Bags works good. Looks good quality rubber. Metal parts has good powder coating.All hardware are present. Nothing missing.The price....I think is is fair.
because air shocks are air shocks... there isn't much to tell...the shocks either work or they don't...THESE shocks work great and do a simple job that makes life so much easier...$170 is not much compared to what convenience THESE shocks provide...
