Load assist

[15BlueSilverado]

Curious to know what others have done to help with rear sagging when hauling a heavy load. I know it's gonna happen but I would prefer it to be level still instead of leaning/sagging in the rear. Are there beefier shocks I can get to help with this or has anyone installed the air bag kit on these trucks? Any help or ideas, as always, is greatly appreciated.

Shocks don't support loads they control suspension motions.

 

You need something like Timbrens, Sumo Springs or airbags.

Firestone is a good brand.

I have made a similar inquiry at my local spring and axle shop. They suggested adding a leaf. They weren't referring to the commercial product "Add a Leaf". They would custom fit an additional leaf giving me added strength for a reasonable cost.

Were these an easy install? Did you do it yourself or have someone else install?

I've thought about going this route too. I'll have to look into these, thanks.

And to think some people purposely make their truck ride like that unloaded

 

Shoot even some unknowingly when they are perfectly level but it looks nose high. It is a truck, leave some rake for the purpose to which it was designed for...

I don't like that look either. I'm leveled out right now but thinking of adding a 2" block in the rear.

I've just added SumoSpings. Seemed like a decent in between between Timbrens and Airbags. But I haven't towed anything since putting them in so I'm not sure how much they help yet.

They were a breeze. I did the automatic level setup. Installed everything in about 4 hrs. I did the installation

+1 on the Hellwig 987's. I add them to mine after I put on the RC 2.5" Level kit but with 3" blocks to keep the rake. Took about 20 minutes to install, didn't even have to take the rims/tires off.

 

With my 6x12 trailer and the 900lb Harley in the back.
