Differences Between the RoadActive Suspension Systems For a 2022 GMC Sierra 2500

Question:

I'm confused as to why there are multiple RAS systems available for my 2022 GMC Sierra 2500. Can you tell me the differences between the kits so that I know which one to get.

There are currently 3 kits available for your 2022 GMC Sierra 2500. The correct kit will depend on the leaf springs under your Sierra and the amount of sag you are experiencing. Do note that none of these systems will increase your payload or towing capacity. They will only provide assistance to your factory suspension giving you a more level and safe ride.

The first kit is the RAS System # RAS3611. This system is rated for a capacity of 2,000lbs and works best with trucks that squat less than 2" when they are loaded with their cargo. If hauling a trailer this kit is best for trailers with a tongue weight of 600lbs or less.

The second kit is the RAS System # RAS3611-HD. This system is rated for a capacity of 3,000lbs and works best on trucks that squat more than 2" when they are loaded. If hauling a trailer this kit works best for trailers with a tongue weight of 601lbs or more.

The final system is the RAS System # RAS3611-CHD. This system has the same 3,000lb capacity as the second system but this is designed to fit on a Sierra that has a factory top overload spring on the rear leaf spring pack. The other 2 kits will fit models that have the factory overload spring on the bottom of the leaf pack.
