For your 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500HD towing a 12,000 lb fifth wheel trailer I recommend the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SSR-207-47, because Timbrens will make your ride a bit rougher than the SumoSprings.

The SumoSprings work by progressively compressing based on the weight of the load compared to the rubber Timbren springs, which is why they do not give you as bumpy a ride. The SumoSprings also do not require any type of drilling for installation as you can see in the linked instructions.

I've also added a link to a video review of these springs for you to take a look at.
