What Can I Use to Reduce the Sag on My 2020 GMC Sierra 2500HD with a 42 Fifth Wheel Trailer?

Question:

I am wanting a product to reduce the sag that is applied to my truck under the load of my 42’ fifth wheel. I have a 2020 gmc 2500hd with John c shackles to rear level the back of the truck. I have looked at the torklift stable load but do not know if that’s the best option. I have heard that air bags are not an option and this is only to try and keep my truck level when the 5th wheel is connected. Do you have any insight?

The best product to use to prevent sagging on your 2020 GMC Sierra HD while pulling a 42' fifth-wheel trailer is the RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit # RAS3611 (2,000 pound weight capacity) or the # RAS3611-HD (3,000 pound weight capacity). The reason why these are the best is because they will help your truck's sag, improve it's handling, won't negatively affect your unloaded ride, is simple to install relative to other options, and requires no maintenance whatsoever.

In addition to the previously listed benefits, this is a particularly good option if you tow your trailer often. This is because the leaf spring enhancement kits will ultimately prolong the life of your factory leaf springs so they will last longer and will not wear as quickly.

If you need help with the installation, I went ahead and linked a video of the process.
