Recommended Rear Suspension Enhancement to Reduce Sag on 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500
Question:
I really want to add some suspension enhancement on my 2020 Silverado 1500. Getting rear sag with the bed all loaded up and when I tow from time to time. Can you tell me which setup you would recommend for the rear axle? Thank you very much.

For your 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500 I highly recommend the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2609. These air springs will offer excellent load support (up to 5,000 pounds) and their adjustability (5 psi to 100 psi) will let you fill the bags up as needed to raise the truck's rear back up to stock height regardless of what you're hauling or pulling.
I like the Firestone air bags in particular because of their unique double-convoluted design. What this does is essentially create 4 layers of support when compressed. This along with the braided wire girdle provides a more durable setup than those from other manufacturers. The system also comes with a limited lifetime warranty on the springs themselves.
I have attached the written installation manual below that you can also check out.
On other item I recommend considering is an on-board compressor system like the Firestone Air Command # F2097. This will allow you to adjust the air bags from the comfort of your cab instead of filling them up at home (if you have a compressor in the garage) or at a service station on the way out.
