When suspension enhancement like the # SSR-117-40 are used, they do not raise the back end of the truck. These only provide support when you carry heavier loads and help when you travel over roads where the suspension may bottom out.

Installing these suspension enhancement kits will not increase the vehicle capacity and are designed to be used with a suspension system in good working order.
