If your signature is correct, you have a 2015 truck, and I did mention that my previous 2017 did not sag like this truck.

Yep, 2015 with Hellwig helper springs on rear, Timbrens on front.

 

That is a shocking amount of sag if everything you said is accurate. I'm glad I'm sticking with my truck for a while. You sure you need all the 500lbs of junk in the bed? Is is randomly scattered around the bed, or safely tucked up near the cab? Again, 500 lbs shouldn't be that dramatic of a load in a half ton truck. If you have a tool box secured in the front of the bed, some of that weight (maybe 15%) should be acting on the front axle, not solely on the rear.

Tool box and winch are in the front of the bed secured.  Bed mat and bed cover spread their weight accross the bed.

So, as of now noone has answered with the part numbers for 2020 NHT leaf packs.  I am interested as well.

I have towed my enclosed 24' car trailer with my 2018 Silverado LT 1500 with max tow package for 6 years. This truck sat about 2-3 inches higher in the rear than the front. When connecting to my trailer, it leveled out and didn't need the helper bars and worked great. I just received my 2024 Silverado 1500 High Country with the Max Tow package. The receiver sits 2-1/2 inches lower on my new truck. When connected the back end sags and the front end raises and makes my headlights so high that everyone is flashing there bright lights at me. Looking under the rear of both of these trucks, I see that the unmodified 2018 truck came with 1.5 inch leaf spring spacers from the factory and the new High Country has no spacers. Thinking about adding 1.5 inch spacers to the rear to see if this would help me?
