Comparing Timbren, SumoSprings, and RoadActive System 2015 GMC Sierra 1500
Question:
2015 GMC Sierra crew cab 4x4 will be towing a 5,000# travel trailer fully loaded weight trying to figure whether to use the Timbren or Sumo...also in the Timbren would it be the 1,000# or the 1500# help would be much appreciated

Expert Reply:
Between the SumoSprings and the Timbren kits for your 2015 GMC Sierra 1500 I'd go with the SumoSprings # SS95MR as the Timbrens are notoriously harsh when the truck is unloaded.
That said the best option is the RoadActive Suspension kits like the part # RAS54FR for if you have a non-Denali or part # RAS2611 for if you do have a Denali with the Magneride. This gives you the support of the best systems out there while improving ride quality and stability so it's definitely the best option.
