Recommended Suspension Enhancement System For 2016 Chevy Silverado 2500 With Future Lift

Question:

I have a 2016 chevy 2500 duramax crew cab standard box. Few questions 1. Will this heavy duty kit work even if the truck doesnt come with the factory overload spring? 2. I plan on lifting the truck at some point will these still work with a lift kit? 3. When it says 3k capacity what exactly does that mean? 3k max capacity in the bed of the vehicle or?

On your 2016 Chevy 2500 Duramax Crew Cab Standard Box, the RoadActive Suspension Kit # RAS3611-HD will be a great addition. It will work on your truck even if it doesn't have the factory overload spring. This kit will have a 3,000 lb capacity which means it will function correctly up to that weight capacity, but it does not increase the weight carrying capacity of your factory suspension system. It has a patented design that eliminates bottoming out, axle wrap, wheel hop, and greatly improves road handling by reducing sway and dangerous body roll on cornering.

This RAS system instantly absorbs and dissipates load force energy resulting in significantly improved vehicle stability, balance, traction and control, with or without a load. It adds strength to your system but not capacity so it does not mean you get to put more weight in the bed of your truck, but rather that the weight in the truck bed will be better distributed so you won't have the squat.

This system is usable with a lift kit without any added parts unlike other suspension enhancement systems.
