I recommend installing the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SSF-202-47 for your 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 dually diesel. These are our lightest capacity jounce springs at a 1,800lb so they will not give you a harsher ride. The 2,500lb Springs # SS66RR are stiffer so they will not absorb as much shock due to the denser material. I would only recommend Timbren Springs # TGMFK25D If you were adding a bunch of weight such as a plow. The Timbren creates a very harsh ride quality unless it has a bunch of weight.

Without any load on the vehicle the Timbren front suspension kit part #TGMFK25D would not add any height at all. It would reduce sag when there is a load though.

Answer 5

It sounds like the purpose of getting the air helper spring would be to counteract the 1 inch compression you're getting in your rear suspension caused by the pin weight of your 5th wheel. If that's the case, I believe that the AirLift 5000…

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…

Answer 12

Installing the Union Tee #AL21838 with your #AL57575 will tie the pressure of the two air bags together. So yes, a shift in a very heavy load like a truck camper will potentially result in air being forced from one into the other. The reason I say…
