Helper Spring Option for 2007 Chevy Silverado Classic 3500 DRW Towing Heavy Camper

Question

Question:

Ive got a 2007 Chevy 3500 Classic, DRW. I have super springs on the truck now but it still sits a bit low when I haul my camper. Its a BIG camper. I was looking at the Timbren Suspension system or something equivalent. What would you recommend? Thanks

Timbren does offer a fit for your truck, part # TGMRTT35S but I'd recommend going with the SumoSprings
# SSR-201-47-2 instead. The Timbren model is more designed for severe service vehicles like tow trucks, and wouldn't give you the ride quality you're looking for. The SumoSprings would offer 4600 lbs of additional support without ruining your ride quality. The kit is compatible with DRW vehicles. The springs sit inboard of the leaf spring packs, so they won't interfere with your existing SuperSprings.

We have run into this quite a few times in the past, and the best option will be replacing the Lance 7-pin connector with a standard 7-way blade connector like the #PK12706. This will give you a standard 7-way connector to plug into the factory 7-way…
