Products Featured in This Question
Question:
Hello, I have 2007 chevy express 1500 awd with 6 lugs the weight and loads on the glass rack, side since it is a one sided rack ,are starting to make it lean with loads and a little now with just the weight of the rack i even wore out a tire on a long trip. Since we are in alaska i would prefer not to use a air pump style system since the winters are harsh. My question is would a spring sytem work to level and increase capacity of loads and wich one ie Super Springs that self adjust Thanks

The first thing you will want to do is make sure the suspension is in good working order. Helper springs cannot be added if the suspension is worn out or something is broken.
Given the options for the rear of your 2007 Chevy Express van I recommend the Timbren springs. Timbren is headquartered up north so they know a thing or two about products that work well in colder climates and they have become a leader in the industry for helper springs.
For the rear you can use # TGMRG25C. And for the front you can use # TGMFK15A. These springs will take the brunt of weight and keep the van from leaning while at the same time improving overall ride quality.
Once the springs are installed there is no maintenance required, no having to add or remove air. And the springs have a limited lifetime warranty.
