Roadmaster Active Suspension Leaf Spring Kit Installation - 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500- Video
Hey guys, Kevin here with etrailer and today we're gonna be taking a look at the Roadmaster Active Suspension Heavy Duty Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit on our 2018 Chevy Silverado 1500. So, this heavy duty custom leaf spring kit is gonna be really good about mitigating any sag that you might experience when you're dropping in a heavy load, maybe you're hauling your travel trailer, your fifth wheel and you're just seeing just too big of a sag and it's kinda forcing the front of your truck up and pulling your wheels off of the ground, which is gonna affect your wear on your tires and your braking. So, that's gonna help mitigate that, along with our SumoSprings that our customer already has installed on his truck today. That's just gonna overall together, give you a better ride quality and better handling so that you maintain a safe and comfortable ride. All right. So, one of the questions that we get a lot is if they can use the Roadmaster Active Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Kit along with either Timbrens or SumoSprings. more

Hey, guys, Kevin here with etrailer. And today we're gonna be taking a look at the coil SumoSprings on our 2018 Chevy Silverado 1500. So these coil SumoSprings are gonna be really great if you have a snow plow on the front of your Chevy, your Dodge, or your Ford truck, or if you have a wench or any other front-mounted accessory, maybe you have a bike rack on the front and you've got four bikes, and it's really just sagging you down up front and you just need that extra support. And so that you don't feel all those bumps in the road up front. These are also really good if you're off-roading. It will help give your springs a little bit more oomph there, so that they can hold in place and give you a nice stable ride. more

Stability Plus Stabilizer Helper Springs Installation - 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500- Video
Hey guys, Kevin here with etrailer, and today we're gonna be taking a look at the Stability Plus Stabilizer on our 2018 Chevy Silverado 1500. So the Stability Plus Stabilizer is really gonna help if you're hauling heavy loads, maybe you got a fifth wheel, maybe you have a travel trailer and it's giving you a whole lot of sag. Dropping you down, putting more weight on the back, then on the front, it really will help out lifting that load back up and mitigating that stress that it's putting on your axle and on your leaf springs and that's going to give you better drivability. You won't have as hard of a time trying to make turns. It's gonna kind of help with any swaying as well. And that's also ultimately gonna affect your brakes as well because if you're putting too much pressure back here, and you're putting it all on these tires, you're gonna be losing your breaking power up front and putting all of it on the back, which'll in turn, give you less breaking power. more

Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs Installation - 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500- Video
Ryan: How's it going Ryan here at eTrailer.com. Today on our 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, we're going to be taking a look at and showing you how to install the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs for the rear axle. Airbags are going to be beneficial whenever we're hauling a heavy trailer or even have a heavy load in the bed of our truck for a couple of different reasons. With the factory suspension, without airbags, with that heavy load in the back, the truck is actually going to sag in the back and that's going to lift the front end up higher, shining our headlights up potentially in other motorists' eyes and not on the ground down where we want them. And since our tires won't be sitting perfectly flat on the ground, those are also going to get worn out faster and we're not going to have such responsive steering and braking as we would whenever we're driving it stock.So what we like to do to get a feel for the improvement that our airbags are going to make is take measurements of the front and back of the truck, the factory suspension, and no weight. Then put weight in it, and then we can compare all of our numbers. more
