For your 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4x4 you will need either the 2,000LB # RAS4611 or 3,000LB # RAS54FR RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit. The kits you found do not fit your particular model year. The only difference is going to be the capacity of the springs with these kits. The 3,000lb HD kit will provide a stiffer ride if that is what you require. Do remember these kits are adjustable so you will be able to adjust the engagement for a stiffer or softer ride.... view full answer...
The correct Timbren front helper springs for your 2016 Chevy Silverado 1500 4x4 are # TGMFK15CB. The springs between it and kit # TGMFK15CA are the same but the brackets and hardware are different. The TGMFK15CA fit now only goes up to 2015 Silverados and is no longer going to appear as a fit for the 2016. view full answer...
The main difference between the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System part # TGMRCK15S and SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Spring part # SS45FR for a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is hardness. The Timbrens are much denser than the SumoSprings so although they will provide more support, they will also produce a rougher ride. I recommend the SumoSprings since it does not sound like you will be towing everyday and still need the truck to have a factory-like ride quality most of the time... view full answer...
Both of the custom towing mirror sets you referenced, Longview # LVT-1800 and K-Source # KS80910, are fits for your 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 as long as it does not have the extending/telescoping OEM mirrors.
These two products differ in several respects. The Longview mirrors are a slip-on installation while the K-Source is a snap-on fit. The K-Source is covered by a 90-day warranty as compared to the USA-made Longview which is protected by a 2-year limited warranty. Mirror surface... view full answer...
The capacities on the RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kits 2,000LB # RAS4611 and 3,000LB # RAS54FR are the maximum amount of weight these kits are rated to support. In terms of your 6,000lb trailer typically 10-15% of the trailer weight rests on the tongue so you would see around 600-900lbs of tongue weight. For this the 2,000LB # RAS4611 would be the best option of the 2 kits to use.
Personally I recommend using the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System # EQ37100ET.... view full answer...
I prefer the Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System # AL58WQ as it has the smart manifold that will maintain air pressure to within the 3psi of your settings and a heavy duty compressor.
With the Air Command Compressor System # F2610 you are able to control it from your smart phone like the Air Lift compressor but it does not maintain the air pressure in the air bags. So you will want to check this every time before driving your truck to ensure that the correct pressure is in the air... view full answer...
Yes, the Replacement Rear Stake Pocket Insert for Adarac Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack # A90165 and the Replacement Stake Pocket Insert for Adarac Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack # A70432 are different from each other.
The main difference is that the Replacement Rear Stake Pocket Insert for Adarac Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack # A90165 is designed to work with 2014-2018 GMC/Chevy 1500s along with the 2015-2019 Chevy/GMC 2500 & 3500s, while # A70432 is going to work with 1999-2013 Chevy/GMC... view full answer...
The Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # C31012 and the Curt # C31069 are more similar than different as you stated with the same capacities and mounting location. I reached out to my contact at Curt and the difference between them is the # C31069 is 1 inch higher so it requires more trimming of the air dam but it also gives you more ground clearance. I've attached a photo of the # C31012 to assist. view full answer...
The Curt MV Weight Distribution System w/ Friction Sway Control - Round Bar - 10K GTW, 1K TW # C17062 has the older style chain system along with a friction sway bar. This is a decent system, however the systems with sway control integrated into the brackets like the # FA94-00-1061 you referenced are far better at controlling sway.
Other than the difference in two points of sway control integrated into the weight support, the other difference is in the ability to back up your trailer... view full answer...
This is a great question. All of the Air lift kits you mentioned do fit your 2023 Chevy Silverado 1500 with the difference being the part # AL57288 is the standard air bag kit, and the part # AL88288 has internal jounce bumpers to provide additional support. view full answer...
The big advantage to a dual path compressor, like the Air Lift Load Controller I Compressor System for Air Helper Springs - Dual Path # AL25651is that it allows you to air each spring separately. This way, if you are carrying a load in the bed that is not spread out evenly, you can provide more support to one side and get yourself nice and level again.
The single path options, like the Air Lift Load Controller II Compressor System for Air Helper Springs - Single Path # AL25592, will always... view full answer...
The Replacement Bar for B&W Biker Bar Motorcycle Tie-Down System # BWMC2302B is the replacement bar that fits H-D Dyna, Softail, and V-Rod bike frames. The # BWMC2301B is the Replacement Clamping Bar for B&W Biker Bar Motorcycle Tie-Down for Harley-Davidson Touring frames. The only difference is the bike frames that are compatible. view full answer...
The biggest difference between the # C31012 and the # C31069 (both of which are confirmed to fit your 2018 Silverado 1500) is ground clearance. The Curt # C31069 will hang down 6-3/4 inches from the mounting surface and the # C31012 will hang down 8-3/16 inches. They will mount in the same location and both will require trimming the front air dam. view full answer...
Between the Pacer Performance Hi-Five LED Truck Cab Lights # PP20-265 and the # PP20-265S the non-smoked version would give off a brighter light.
Any time you put tinting on a lights lens you end up reducing the brightness of the lights behind them. This is especially true for LEDs as they do not handle tint as well as incandescent bulbs. view full answer...
The difference between the Pop & Lock # PAL9555 and # PAL9772 is that the # PAL9555 kit comes with a powered handle that will replace the existing rotary handle.
The # PAL9772 conversion kit will turn the existing handle on the truck cap into a powered lock. The Replacement Handle # PAL9585 can be added to the # PAL9772 conversion kit to provide a handle. view full answer...
While it will not hurt your vehicle, using two suspension enhancement products at the same time could render one product ineffective or will cause one system to be used at limited potential. For example, if you try using both the Timberen Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TGMRCK15S and the SuperSprings Suspension Stabilizer # SSA5MTKT, with a load in the truck, once the Timberen Springs engage the SuperSprings will not be doing much for the load.
I do not recommend using both systems... view full answer...
The colors on the wiring between the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller # RED44FR and the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers # 3064-P will match in terms of function. It sounds like you are wanting to use the # 3064-P to install the # RED44FR. No plug is present under the dash, but the needed wires are already run. You will connect the brake controller wiring with the vehicle wiring already present under the dash.
Since the # RED44FR comes with a... view full answer...
Adam R answered my question on Kayak Roof rack carriers, out of the 2 J Style carriers you recommended - Rino Rack and the Thule J Style which one of these would you recommend as they are close in price one at $125 and the other at about $140? Thiese would be the ones that would fit on my 2008 Chrysler Town and Country. view full answer...
If your weight distribution system is rated appropriately for your actual loaded tongue weight and installed correctly it should not make your ride particularly harsh, but you can soften some of the effect of that extra weight on your truck's suspension with a rear axle helper spring kit. Suspension enhancement kits are not a substitute for a properly rated weight distribution setup but they can help restore more of the usual ride quality you're accustomed to when not towing nearly 9K in... view full answer...
There are multiple front mount trailer hitch options for a 2019 Chevy Silverado 1500, the Curt part # C31088 and Draw-Tite part # DT44HR. The Draw-Tite was designed to work on 2.7L Turbo or 3.0L Diesel engine models whereas the Curt is incompatible at this time. I recommend the Draw-Tite due to the wider fit range. view full answer...
