The Timbren Suspension Enhancement System item # TGMRTT15S is 3-1/4" tall. If you use the spacer the spring will be 4-1/4". Timbren requires a 1/2" to 1-1/2" between the rubber spring and the contact point when not loaded down.

You will also need to install three of the Timbren Spacers item # A25723-90AH00 on each side equal to the height of what sounds like a 3" lift in order to compensate for your 7-3/4" spacing. You will need to source your own bolts from your local hardware store.

Timbrens are a great choice for your Silverado to help improve its handling and performance when you are towing or just have a heavy load in your truck bed. They take the brunt of that added weight by engaging when needed to counteract both sag and body roll. This not only helps level your truck, but also stabilizes it to combat sway.
