Recommended Suspension Enhancement For 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali W/ Adaptive Ride Control

Question:

Hi, I have a 2020 GMC Sierra Denali 4x4 with MagnaRide. What is the best option for helping it to not squat under a load when we hook up our horse trailer?

For your 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali 4WD I recommend the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - Double Convoluted - Rear Axle # F2609 which is confirmed to fit all models of the 2020 Sierra including your Denali with the Adaptive Ride Control. Keep in mind that this kit installs in the same location as a gooseneck or 5th wheel hitch so you will not be able to use it if you tow the trailer with a gooseneck hitch.

The Firestone # F2609 has a 5000lb load leveling capacity that can be fine tuned to the exact support your setup needs by adjusting the air pressure between 5-100 PSI, and will do a great job at leveling your truck when it has a load from your horse trailer, or with heavy payload in the bed.

To keep from needing to manually inflate the air helper springs when you are ready to tow I recommend installing an onboard air compressor kit like the Air Command Compressor System w/ Light Duty Compressor - Wireless - Smartphone Enabled - Single Path # F2610 which allows you to control the pressure in your air helper springs with your smartphone.

I included videos of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
