Hello, neighbors, it's Brad here at Etrailer. And today we're taking a look at installing the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Rear Helper Springs with internal jounce bumpers on a 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 2500.

So a lot of that load is gonna be right directly on the truck. And a lot of times, that's gonna cause it to squat no matter really what the trailer is. more

When that happens, our new springs are going to help combat that and provide that additional support we're looking for. more

SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs Installation - 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 2500- Video
Hello, neighbors. It's Brad here at etrailer, and today, we're taking a look at installing these SumoSprings solo custom helper springs for the rear axle on a 2018 Chevy Silverado 2500. Now, these have a 1500 pound capacity, and that's not necessarily going to add capacity to your truck, it's kind of what they're rated for as far as what weight you'll be using. So, if you have a payload in the back of the truck that's about 1500, that's gonna be perfect. Or if you have a fifth wheel or a trailer that puts a decent amount of tongue weight on your truck, this is gonna help regardless. And really, the great part about these is they engage quicker than your factory jounce bumpers and they're also progressive. more

Hi there Silverado owners. Today on your 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 2500, we're going to be taking a look at and showing you how to install SumoSprings Rebel Custom Helper Springs for the rear axle. And this is what our SumoSprings look like when they're installed.

The big difference here is that the SumoSpring is significantly larger. So we're going to make contact much sooner than what our factory jounce bumper was as the jounce bumper from the factory is really just designed for when your suspension is bottomed out but this one here is designed to give us support throughout the load as it's being squished. more

Hi there Silverado owners, today in your 2017 Chevrolet Silverado we're going to be taking a look at and showing you how to install SumoSprings Rebel custom helper springs for the rear axle.And this is what our SumoSprings look like when they're installed. They connect between the rear axle and the frame to offer load leveling support throughout the back of your vehicle. What I like about the SumoSprings is that they are designed to work with one another to help minimize sway as well as jauntiness when going down the road, they're designed to compress up to 50% to provide you with a maximum of 5,000 pounds of load leveling support. Now you do want to keep in mind this doesn't increase the amount that you can carry, just how much the SumoSprings will help assist supporting.Before we begin our installation, we're going to go ahead and simulate a heavy load. We've got a water tank here with about 2000 pounds of water weight on it. We've got it on our trailer, hooked up to the back of our vehicle so we know we've got the back loaded down plenty good. more

SuperSprings Custom Suspension Stabilizer Installation - 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 2500- Video
Hi there Chevrolet owners. Today on your 2016 Silverado 2500, we'll be taking a look at and showing you how to install SuperSprings 00:00:08 custom suspension stabilizer and sway control kit for factory leaf springs. And this is what our SuperSprings look like when they're installed. They will install above your factory leaf springs and they'll provide additional assistance for your leaf springs, acting just as in another lead spring plate. They perform similarly as an overload spring, but they do offer support pretty much throughout the entire travel. If our vehicle's unloaded, they offer minimal support so it feels very much like a factory ride height, but the more we load our vehicle down, the more this spring is going to work with our factory springs to provide us additional support which will help keep our ride height from dipping as much under a heavy load, and it'll also offer increased sway control during evasive maneuvers and when going over uneven bumps.Our shackle attaches our new spring to the bottom side of our factory springs, and we have a roller here down at the bottom that allows it to move as necessary as our spring flexes. more

And they're going to help reduce tire wear and premature wear on our factory suspension components.Now since we have individual valves for each one of our air bags, they're going to be able to adjust independently, which is great because we're going to be able to maintain weight distribution with adjusting the air pressure individually for those times when we have an off-center load. Not only are our air bags going to help level out our truck, but they're also going to give us a nice, comfortable ride, absorbing some of the road shock and softening the contact between our frame and our axle preventing bottoming out.Now our air bags are adjustable from 5 to 100 psi. more

On the right side of the screen you will see the new airbags installed, you will notice as we go over bumps the airbags will greatly reduce the strain on the factory suspension while providing a much safer ride while leveling out your vehicle when loaded and prolonging the life of your factory suspension. Here on our slalom course with our factory set up you will see a lot of body roll when loaded, with the new airbags installed the ride feels much more solid and stable while greatly reducing body roll.We're gonna take some measurements to show you the ride height before we put some weight in it. more

These airbags will assist our vehicle's factory suspension allowing it to do its job properly. These airbags will support up to 5,000 pounds of weight in the bed of our truck, or if we're towing a heavy gooseneck or fifth-wheel trailer with a high pin weight, these will help support the weight of that, as well. These don't give us an additional 5,000 pounds of carrying capacity. These will only maintain our vehicle's ride height and handling characteristics up to 5,000 pounds.These are double convoluted design, giving us a smooth ride. One unique feature about these airbags compared to other airbag systems on the market is the fact that our airbag is crimped inside of this cap here at the top and again on the bottom. more

Either you're carrying a utility trailer that's often loaded and it's causing vehicle sag, maybe you've got a gooseneck, a fifth wheel, in bed camper, any number of things. Just anytime we're loading down our truck, essentially what you're going to have is vehicle sag.The more of a load that we put on our truck, the more the rear ends sag. And when that happens we're taking the truck out of its normal operating range, we're putting excess weight on the back, that's going to make this rear suspension work a lot harder. When your lead springs have extra work to do, they're going to build up heat, friction, and eventually it's just going to fatigue quicker than what it normally would.Now we know the rear end sags, but we really don't tend to think about the front end very much. And there's a lot of things that happen that can be very detrimental to the ride quality of your truck when that rear end sags. more

Now we've added in about two hundred gallons of water, just to simulate a heavy load in the truck. Now here in the back, we're looking at about forty and a quarter, so we've come down considerably.
