Recommended Suspension Enhancement for a 2022 Chevy Silverado 3500
Question:
Towing a fiver with my 2022 Chevy 3500 and I'm needing some extra support for my OEM suspension. What do you recommend?

Expert Reply:
I have 2 different solutions to help out the OEM suspension when towing your 5th wheel trailer with your 2022 Chevy Silverado 3500, and it boils down to maintenance vs customization.
The SumoSprings Rebel Custom Helper Springs # SSR-203-40-2 are easier to install and require absolutely no maintenance, while the Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs # F2709 offer the ability to adjust the bags to exactly how much support you want/need but they do require some maintenance and upkeep since you will have air lines running under your truck.
Both options are viable and what you decide will depend on how you'll be using your truck. If you'll be using the truck for a variety of hauling jobs then the air bags are the best way to go (and I recommend picking up a compressor kit like # F2219), but if you're only using the truck to tow the 5th wheel I think you'll like the SumoSprings better.
Attached are some installation videos for you to check out.
