Choosing Between Standard and HD RAS Kits for 2023 Chevy Silverado 1500
Question:
I like what I have seen about this RoadActive Suspension kit for my 2023 Silverado 1500 and I plan on getting one. The only thing I'm not sure about is which I should get. Would the regular one or the heavy duty be best?

Expert Reply:
The answer to your question depends on your application. If you will be towing heavy trailers and hauling heavy loads with frequency then the # RAS54FR would be the better choice with a higher capacity. If you're occasionally hauling or towing, and you won't exceed the 2,000 lb weight capacity, then you should get the # RAS4611.
If ride quality is your concern, you probably won't notice a difference between the two. However, it will be easier to fine tune the support on the # RAS4611. More than likely the standard kit will be adequate for your needs and also save you a little money.
