Best Way to Reduce Body Roll on a 2015 GMC Sierra 1500
Question:
I own a 2015 Sierra with RAS added to the rear. I still get some body roll with my Liberty camper loaded so I am considering adding Timbren RS or sumo springs. Which way should I go that would not give too rough of a ride unloaded?

Expert Reply:
The Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System part # TGMRCK15S and the SumoSprings Custom Helper Springs Kit part # SSR-209-40 are both great options to help reduce the body roll you are experiencing while loaded.
Neither of these suspension enhancements will affect the ride of your vehicle while unloaded for the exception of the occasional bump or pothole. While loaded the Timbren springs will give you the most support and the SumoSprings will give you the most comfortable ride.
For the the best of both worlds (Reduced Body Roll/ Ride Comfort) I recommend using the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs part # F2430. Both the upgraded bump stops and airbags will work with your RAS system currently installed. I have attached an installation video of these products installed on a similar Chevy Silverado for you.
