Front Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for 2006 GMC Sierra 3500 without Plow

Question:

I have a 2006 Gmc 3500 with the 6.6 duramax. Looking to help out the front suspension with the Timbren ses or something similar. I dont have a plot or any heavy accessory so Im not sure if this is the right product just wanting to help out the shocks while on rough back roads. Can you point me in the right direction. I do haul a 7500lbs rv in the summer with no problems. The lower control arm is almost touching the current bump stop. Hoping the Timbren or similar will be in constant contact. However I cant find product dimensions.

The Timbren kit part # TGMFK25S that you referenced is a confirmed fit for your 2006 GMC Sierra 3500 but it's for severe duty applications so for you it would be very harsh. It would give you the support you want but at the cost of a very harsh ride quality.

A better option would be the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs - Front Axle # SSF-201-47 which gives you the support you would need but isn't so rigid so it wouldn't be nearly as harsh riding. Since you don't have a plow or heavy accessory, this will be a much better option for you.
