Simplest Way To Beef Up The Rear Suspension On A 2020 GMC Sierra
Question:
i have a 2020 gmc sierra 1500 with max tow pkg. currently towing a 32 ft travel trailer with no real problems. probably going to move up to a fifth wheel and want some added suspension help. thinking 300lb +. what products do you recommend? supersprings, Airlift suspension or timbren type stuff. I dont really want it to effect the ride of the truck when its not towing. ive read timbren can be harsh ride.

If I were you, I wouldn't want to swap any OEM parts as these machines ride very smooth. My buddy has a similar truck, but a Chevy with the RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit # RAS54FR. It's super easy to install especially compared to the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 # AL88288. The RoadActive option I recommend doesn't replace any of the OEM components, just helps them out. These are adjustable so you can change how much it helps to meet the needs of what you're hauling and the ride quality.
