Rear Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for 2010 Chevy Silverado 1500 Z71 4WD Crew Cab
Question:
I tow a 20ft Skeeter boat on a tandem trailer which all total is about 4500 lbs. I use it two to three times a week. What would be the best set up for me?

Expert Reply:
The best suspension enhancement we offer for your 2010 Chevy Silverado 1500 is the RoadActive Suspension Kit part # RAS54FR which will give you the support you are wanting for the trailer you plan to tow while improving loaded and unloaded ride quality as well as handling and stability. Other options, specifically Timbrens, are known to make the ride quality a bit harsher which is why I don't typically recommend them unless the vehicle will be loaded down nearly all of the time.
