For your 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4x4 you will need either the 2,000LB # RAS4611 or 3,000LB # RAS54FR RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit. The kits you found do not fit your particular model year. The only difference is going to be the capacity of the springs with these kits. The 3,000lb HD kit will provide a stiffer ride if that is what you require. Do remember these kits are adjustable so you will be able to adjust the engagement for a stiffer or softer ride. Personally, I recommend going with the 2,000lb kit if you only carry additional loads from time to time or the 3,000lb HD kit if you have constant weight like a slide in camper or service bed.
