Is SuperSprings SumoSprings 1" Spacer Needed When Towing With a Weight Distribution Hitch?

Question:

Wondering if I need to add the 1inch spacer for my set up. 2019 Silverado new gen 5.3 motor pulling a TT at around 5,000 lbs and hitch weight of @630 lbs. Do have a distribution hitch as well. Thank you

Since you are using a weight distribution hitch with your 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 while pulling your travel trailer you will not need the additional preload that the 1" spacer from the SumoSprings # SS45FR will provide to your Silverado.

The weight distribution hitch when properly adjusted will provide the support to level your Silverado and support the tongue weight from sagging your rear suspension. The SumoSprings will help the suspension to absorb additional road shock with the weight of the trailer.
