Comparing SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs for a 2008 Chevy Silverado 1500

Question

Question:

I see there is two options available for my 2008 chevy Silverado. Just wondering what the difference is between the two? Weight rating I’m guessing. I tow a travel trailer with my truck. I use the proper weight distribution but my truck still has a lot of squat and on very rough roads I get some purposing. Thanks.

There are three different SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Spring options for a 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The difference is indeed weight capacity; part # SSR-209-40 for 1,000 lbs, part # SS95MR for 1,500 lbs, and part # SS45MR for 2,800 lbs. The part # SS95MR for 1,500 lbs would be a great option for your setup and what I recommend.
