Comparing Timbrens and SumoSprings for a 2017 Chevy Silverado 3500
Question:
Will these springs fit my 2017 Chevy 3500 Duramax 4x4 dually, and which one would you recommend? I am considering purchase to help my trucks suspension under load, hauling my truck camper at about 3800lbs.

Expert Reply:
Yes, the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System part # TGMRCK25D and the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs part # SSR-207-47 are confirmed to fit your 2017 Chevy Silverado 3500. Both products will help to reduce sag, improve stability, and increase the existing suspensions wear life.
Generally speaking, Timbrens are going to give you more support but SumoSprings will have a smoother ride. Of these two options, I recommend using the Timbrens as these will be more inline with your needs. The SumoSprings are only rated up to 2,500 lbs whereas the Timbrens are rated up to 8,600 lbs.
I have included a review and installation video of the Timbrens for you to check out as well.
