Features to know about

Keep Your Ride Level Under Load: 2,000-lb Rear Suspension Support

When you hitch up a trailer or load the bed, the rear suspension can sag and throw off your handling. The RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit adds up to 2,000 lbs of support by turning your factory leaf springs into a mechanically active system. It automatically adjusts tension to the load, keeping your ride level whether you’re towing, hauling gear, or carrying tools in back. You get steadier steering, better braking traction, and correct headlight aim no matter the weight behind you.

Stop Sway, Sag, and Wheel Hop Before They Start: Variable-Rated Coil Tension Springs

Heavy loads can make your truck lean or bounce through turns and cause wheel hop when accelerating. The variable-rated coil tension springs in this kit engage instantly to stabilize the leaf springs before problems start. They strengthen your suspension to cut down sway and body roll on corners while preventing axle wrap and bottoming out under weight. The result is a smoother, more controlled ride with improved traction during braking and acceleration.

Set It Once and Forget It: Maintenance-Free Active Design

Unlike systems that need constant pressure checks or air adjustments, this setup is ready to go after installation. Each unit bolts under the factory leaf spring and around the U-bolts—no drilling, cutting, or welding required. Once tensioned during setup, the springs activate automatically when loaded and disengage when empty. There’s no need for regular monitoring or maintenance, just reliable performance every time you tow or haul.

Built to Handle Real-World Work: Epoxy E-Coated Steel Construction

Long days on the road mean exposure to rain, salt, and grit that can wear out lesser parts. Each RAS unit is made from high-grade alloy steel with an epoxy e-coat for corrosion resistance. The end brackets have a salt spray rating of more than 800 hours, giving them lasting protection against rust and harsh weather. You get a suspension upgrade that holds up to years of heavy use with confidence backed by a 5-year warranty and 30-day money-back guarantee.

I don’t think they are really made for the old PU. 1997 k1500 8 ft bed with a 750 lbs camper tong weight I think I had to put to much pressure on the Kurt stabilizer chains to get level. It looked like the newer truck reviews on YouTube were great thanks Dingler.

I purchased the RAS system 6 months ago to help with rear end sag & control while towing our 22 ft 4200lb camping trailer. It improved sag & helped handling even when not towing! I don't get the bounce when driving on bumpy uneven roads the wheels stay planted on the road. I recently purchased a 8000lb camping trailer & my 24 1500 Silverado handles it very well, I will adjust the RAS to the next step up for the extra weight when time permits.
The install took just over an hour with help from a friend & a car lift which is good since I'm 70 years old.
Great product!

Looks great, Les :) I hear lots of good this about this option for suspension enhancement and how you said, even without towing it can improve the ride quality. Glad to know that you are happy with them, too! do you have any upcoming camping trips planned?

Great product, helps with sway and when the truck has additional weight it progressively compensates. I would add this to any vehicle with leaf springs.

2011 Nissan Titan

The bed of the truck measured 37.5" with a tool box weighing 200 lbs. The truck felt weighed down with passengers weighing 600lbs. Total weight 800lbs with a tank full of gas. After the install the truck rides smoother and certainly " like new". The stopping distance and acceleration distance have shortened drastically. I'm planning on loading up the bed and the Roadmaster Active Suspension RAS4611. My wife even drive it and she could feel the difference. "It drives like a muscle car." Buy it. Install time at a reputable mechanic shop was a 30 min. Install. I received them today at 1 pm and got it installed at 3:00 pm and finished the install at 3:30pm. It's an investment worth the price over traditional air bag system. Mechanic installed this on 2011 Nissan Titan SV.

What can I say. After a year of constantly driving through Texas roads and highways. I have moved twice and loaded the bed of my truck plus U-Haul 6x12 trailer and thy truck has not felt the load of it. The Active Road Suspension Leaf Spring is constantly sort of speak sensing if theres load so it can actively push it upwards. I have even driven up to the crazy roads of Pennsylvania and my pick drives smoother than when I got it from the dealer. Im telling you these things work. As any cautious driver upkeeping his own vehicle, I have periodically checked the bolts and location of the resistance in between the spring and it has not deflected or moved from its original installation. I believe every pick up must have these. It beats constantly putting air on the air bags especially in inclement weather like up here in Pennsylvania with the snow. I couldnt be more satisfied with this purchase. Thank you etrailer for offering this superb product.

Just like when I bought it.

by: Rick Maybury 03/26/2021

I have a 2020 Silverado 1500 6 cyl Duramax with the Diesel Off Road package (3.73 diff). Travel trailer loaded is probably about 6,000 lb. I took several measurements during and after the spring kit installation. All measurements increased about an inch including the stock suspension with trailer and equalizer bars and with the spring kit installed at 1 mm spacing. A one inch improvement overall. I took the truck on a short drive and didn't notice any difference in ride (wasn't stiffer) which is what I wanted. Good to know that I can adjust the springs to the 2 mm spacing if I want to increase the suspension assist. Going camping next week and looking forward to see how it improves handling and porpoising.

After a year I am still pleased with this product. I had been adjusting the spring tension higher when towing and then back down after a trailering trip, but now just leave it adjusted to the trailer towing tension as the unloaded ride doesnt seem to suffer when the springs are tighter.

These made such a difference in the ride of my pick up while pulling my enclosed trailer. Let’s squat more stability.

by: Michael 06/21/2022 One Year Later

Overall, very happy with the product. GMC didn't have any way to improve the truck from squatting when I hooked up my trailer. This kit didn't stop the squatting but significantly reduced the bounce on bad dips in roads, bridge/road transitions and bad railroad crossings.

The RAS arrived on time and was super easy to install. It took my son and I about 45 minutes to install. It helps when you have all the right tools handy. The only thing I didn’t anticipate was the Allen wrench needed to reinstall the cross bolt in front of the leaf spring shackle. Fortunately, we had the right size on hand. So far so good. Haven’t had a chance to hook up to my RV yet. I’m optimistic it will take some stress off the leaf springs.

Fantastic! Completely changed the way the truck tows. Kinda rides rougher unloaded, but not too bad.

by: Dave p 10/03/2017

I order these on Friday afternoon and I received them Monday afternoon. I had watched the clip on installation before ordering and it looked pretty easy. The installation instructions are very self explanatory and they were easy to install. From the time I starter until I had the tools picked up and put away it was about an hour and that was with taking a few phone calls. My initial ride after installing these was very good. I drove over a fairly rough road and tracks. My real test will come when I hook up to my trailer and load my tractor or car. I may have to readjust to a heavier setting but it is there if needed.

1997 Dodge Ram Pickup

I bought this based on I think the same product I bought several years ago for a 1997 Dodge Ram 1500. At that time, I bought a kit for for a Ram 2500 and was very impressed. I put a truck camper on the Dodge and I don’t think it settled an inch and when I drove it I hardly knew the camper was back there at all. No sway and no handling problems at all. This time I bought the kit for a Nissan Titan, pulling a 25’ travel trailer (about 7000#). The truck rear still settles and is not in a level attitude in transit without the weight distribution hitch. The suspension kit makes it better but not as much as I expected.

You van feel the difference right away. Gave my truck a little more height without a load. Truck feels more stable a turn/curve. I still have to put a load on it to check the differences. But, I imagine I won't have any problems based on everyone's else's reviews.

Ram 2500

These helper springs were easy to install and adjust-approximately 25 minutes total. I pull a trailer that has a tongue weight of about 625 lbs. and these helped reduce the squat and sway of the back end of my GMC 2500 pickup. I feel like they did what they were supposed to do and am happy with them. I think the only draw back is that it does lift the bed of the pickup up a little bit when not attached to the trailer which makes climbing in the back a little more difficult but the trade off is worth it.

I have a 1/2 Ton Silverado and occasionally put Pallets of Product in the back .... It is great for the additional load and when empty - it doesn't affect ride ... ALso noticed a reduction in Sway when hauling a trailer

by: Geoff 06/10/2020 One Year Later

I have had these for about a year installed at just a bit tighter than 1mm. I was very skeptical of their claim that they improve the unloaded ride quality, but it really was true. The best way I can describe it is that now the front and rear suspension feels about the same when I hit a bump.... right up until you cause enough travel to include the leaf springs. Then it gets stiff really quickly.

This works because when you install the RAS springs, they pull the ends of the leaf pack together almost like the rear suspension is drooping. This creates a bit of suspension travel that is only controlled by the leaf springs on the RAS. The RAS springs are softer than the leaf pack and as long as the bump doesn't exceed that range, the ride is very compliant. I really like it.

Ride improvement asside, I actually got this for towing my camper. I had a lot of up/down oscillations at the tongue when fully loaded on the highway. The RAS kit did help but hasn't eliminated it. At the Tampa RV show I spoke to the guy at the booth and he suggested I tighten the springs some more. I will do that before my next trip. I'm curious if that hurts the improved ride quality I have. I've also been told to add better equalizers or shocks to the trailer.

I occasionally hear some creaking from them when getting in or out of the truck or when loading the bed. It's nothing I'd ding the rating for, but they're not silent. I never hear anything from them while driving. I live on a dirt road and so far, I've not noticed that cause any issues.

Overall, I'm very happy with the product. I always thought the rear suspension was a little jarring unloaded and this smoothed that out while helping my suspension control heavy loads too. It really is the best of both worlds. I'm sure I'll put them on my next truck.

Installed this on my 2020 GMC 1500 Denali. The one thing I hated about my Denali was how much a small amount of weight made it squat. The Denali is meant for smooth ride not towing! These springs brought the back of my truck up by an inch. Truck doesn't squat when being "exuberant" leavin red lights. Ride quality when empty hasn't changed. These springs are AMAZING but, are not a cure for all your hauling needs! When I'm hauling my 1800lb side x side on my trailer they work great! Hauling my 4500lb tractor... Load stabilizer hitch still recommended!

Can Timbrens be Used with RoadActive Suspension Kit on 2011 Chevy Silverado
For your 2011 Chevy Silverado I recommend starting with the RoadActive Suspension Kit # RAS4611 that you mentioned by itself to see how everything handles when pulling your 34 foot trailer. It wouldn't necessarily be "overkill" to add the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TGMRTT15S (the two components can indeed be used together) but maybe more accurate to say that the Timbrens might not really be utilized if the RAS is doing its job.

Will The RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit Fit A 2024 Chevy 1500 ZR2
Hello Marla, thanks for reaching out. The RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit # RAS4611 will fit your 2024 Chevy 1500 ZR2, as long as it does not have the one-piece composite leaf springs. The RAS system is only compatible with steel leaf springs and some newer F150 models us smaller composite springs. So, as long as your springs are steel, you will be good to go, and the RAS will help a lot to support the rear of your truck and prevent squatting.

Suspension Enhancement Kit for 2011 GMC Yukon XL 2500
Hey Will, so we don't have an air bag kit that fits your 2011 GMC Yukon XL 2500 but we do have a really great solution with the Roadactive suspension kit part # RAS4611 which I would have recommended over an air bag kit anyway as it's an easier install, easier to maintain, and also improves ride quality and handling unlike all other options.

Will The Firestone Ride-Rite Air Bag Helper Springs Fit 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 w/ 3.0L Diesel
The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Plus Air Springs # AL88288 are our only air springs compatible with the 3.0L Duramax Diesel in your 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 High Country. The Firestone Ride-Rite Springs # F2609 you found are not compatible with the diesel engine models. Do note the Air Lift is not for use on vehicles which have the Adaptive Ride Control feature. So if you have this feature you will want to look at the RoadActive Suspension # RAS4611 as it does allow for some...

Air Bags vs. RoadActive Suspension Enhancement For 2023 GMC Sierra 1500
Really good questions. And I understand being a bit skeptical of the RoadActive (RAS) suspension system, and it does have its pros and cons for your 2023 GMC Sierra 1500 when compared to the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2609. Will the RAS help with sag? Yes, but to a point. They will level you out if your truck sags up to 2 to 3 inches; anything more than that you won't be completely level. And keep in mind there are different RAS kits for your '23 Sierra 1500 depending on...

RoadActive Suspension Heavy Duty Versus Standard Duty
The main difference between the RoadActive Suspension # RAS54FR and # RAS4611, will be the weight capacities. Both of these will install and function the exact same way, but the # RAS54FR will have a maximum capacity of 3,000 pounds and should be used with moderate to heavy loads. The # RAS4611 will have a maximum capacity of 2,000 pounds and should be used with lighter to moderate loads. I have an install video and review video included as well if you wanted to check them out.

Recommended Air Bag Kit for a 2023 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali w/ Adaptive Ride Control
Thanks for the picture! For your 2023 GMC Sierra 1500 with adaptive ride control you'll want the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs item # AL57388. This air bags have a 5,000 lbs load leveling capacity that will keep the rear end of your truck from sagging when you are towing your trailer. These only fit the 4WD models. I don't have a set that works with 2WD Sierra's that have the adaptive ride control. I have linked an installation video below to help you get these air bags set...

How To Decide Between Standard and HD RoadActive RAS Leaf Spring Kit for 2018 Chevy Silverado 1500
The RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit is an excellent option to provide additional load-leveling support and it will work just fine with an existing weight distribution system. The correct kit for a 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is part # RAS4611 for standard or part # RAS54FR for heavy duty. The standard would be fine for this application but you could go with the upgraded heavy duty option if you felt the need. Please note, we actually don't carry the Anderson...

Does Torklift StableLoad and RoadActive Suspension System for 2018 Chevy Silverado Do Same Thing
The TorkLift StableLoad Suspension Upgrade # TLA7310S that you referenced basically allows the overload springs of the vehicle suspension to engage sooner to gain additional suspension support whereas the RoadActive Suspension kit # RAS4611 basically is like adding an additional leaf spring to the setup. They both provide additional support so in a way they perform the same function but they do it in a different way. I would not recommend both at the same time though as that would be overkill....

Will The RoadActive Suspension Kit Fit On a 2022 Chevrolet Silverado ZR2?
You are able to use either the 2,000LB # RAS4611 or 3,000LB # RAS54FR RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit for your 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 ZR2. The only reason you would not be able to use either kit is if your ZR2 has the mono leaf rear springs.

Will the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs Fit a 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 AT4
The SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs - Rear Axle # SS65FR are confirmed to fit your 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 AT4. However, I would not recommend them. Since the AT4 has a 2" lift, the SumoSprings would likely be ineffective unless you are experiencing a lot of sag under a heavy load. They already require some sag before they engage, so the additional lift will increase the distance they need to move before they start to work. Instead, I recommend the RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf...
