Differences Between The RoadActive Suspension Systems For A 2023 GMC Sierra 2500

Question:

I would like to install a RAS system on my 2023 GMC Sierra 2500, but I see that you have multiple choices. What is the difference between the three? I would like to order the correct one.

We currently have three different RAS kits available for your 2023 GMC Sierra 2500. Which kit you will need depends on the leaf springs that you have under your Sierra and the amount of sag that your are experiencing. After installing any of the three RAS systems that I explain below will not increase the payload or towing capacity on your Sierra, but they will provide assistance for your factory suspension giving them a more level and safe ride.

The first kit that we offer is the RAS System # RAS3611. This system has a weight capacity of 2,000 pounds and will work best with trucks that squat less than 2 inches while the truck is loaded with their cargo. If you plan on hauling a trailer this kit will work best with a trailer with a tongue weight of 600 pounds of less.

The next kit we offer is the RAS System # RAS3611-HD. This system is rated for a weight capacity of 3,000 pounds and will work best with trucks that squat more than 2 inches when loaded with their cargo. Again if hauling a trailer this kit works best for trailers with a tongue weight of 601 pounds or more.

The last RAS System # RAS3611-CHD has the same 3,000 pound weight capacity as the second system but is designed to fit on a Sierra that has the factory top overload springs on the rear leaf spring pack. The other two kits fit models that have the factory overload spring on the bottom of the leaf pack.

I linked an installation video below of the RAS system being installed on a Chevy Silverado. The installation process will be similar for your 2023 GMC Sierra 2500. If you have any further questions please feel free to reach back out to me anytime and I will be more than happy to further assist you in your towing endeavors.
