For a suspension upgrade on your 2013 Chevy Silverado, I recommend the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs - Rear Axle item # SSR-204-40. These springs have a 1,000 lbs capacity to help level out your Suburban and give you the extra support you need while you are towing. They will not negatively effect your ride quality when you are not hauling your trailer.
Another option to help gain some extra support while towing is to use a weight distribution system. The Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control item # EQ37120ET has built in sway control and a maximum capacity of 12,000 lbs. This system has a tongue weight range of 800 lbs - 1,200 lbs. I have linked a help article about weight distribution systems below. If you have any questions about weight distribution please email me back with some specifics on your trailer's weight and I will be happy to help you.
