Comparing Timbrens and SumoSprings for a 2019 Chevy Silverado 1500

Question

Question:

hello I have a 2019 Chevy Silverado 1500 RST, I dont do very much hauling but I am planning on purchasing a camper very soon. But I dont want to be the guy driving off the lot with my truck sagging close to the ground. Which product do you recommend that will fit my truck, the Timbrens or SumoSprings?

The main difference between the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System part # TGMRCK15S and SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Spring part # SS45FR for a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is hardness. The Timbrens are much denser than the SumoSprings so although they will provide more support, they will also produce a rougher ride. I recommend the SumoSprings since it does not sound like you will be towing everyday and still need the truck to have a factory-like ride quality most of the time which the SumoSprings will offer.

Please note, the RST package won't affect fit in any way.
