SumoSprings or Timbrens For 2012 Chevy Colorado
Question:
I have a 2012 chevy colorado LT extended cab 4x4 pickup. I occasionally tow a 2500lb boat with 350lbs tongue weight and 500 lbs of gear in box of pickup. Suspension is in exellant shape. What would you recommend to for my vehicle to help with sagging? Sumo springs or timbrens?

Hey Charles,
For your 2012 Chevy Colorado, I 100% recommend going with the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SSR-210-40.
The Timbren # TGMRCC will work, but they can make your ride very rough, especially when unloaded. The SumoSprings are going to give you more than enough support for when you are towing your boat and/or have gear in your Colorado's truck bed.
So the SumoSprings # SSR-210-40 will give you the benefit of stability and helping with sag while not giving you a ride as rough as the Timbrens can, so I'd go with that if it were my Colorado.
