Recommended Suspension Enhancement For 2001 Chevy Silverado 1500 LD 2WD
Question:
2001 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 2WD short bed, 160,000 miles I carry a considerable amount of tools in the bed of the pickup in my remodeling business. The truck wallows in turns and the rear of the truck looks to be squatting about an inch or so. I wouldnt say the truck is severely over loaded, but does need support. I see that the stock bump stops in the rear are missing. Im debating air bags or Timbrens, or ? Thanks

Helpful Expert Reply:
I recommend the Timbrens for your 2001 Chevy Silverado 1500 LD 2WD. They are going to give your Chevy the support it needs for its minor squat, but are also less expensive and less maintenance than air springs. The correct part number for your truck is the following:
- Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TGMRCK15S
The # TGMRCK15S will help your Chevy handle better by taking the brunt of the added weight when you have the tools in your bed. The tools weigh it down, so the Timbrens will engage to counteract both sag and body roll. What this does is not only help level your truck, but also stabilize it to combat sway.
