Timbren Weight Ratings Explained, Recommendation for 2015 GMC Sierra 3500

Question

Question:

When you say the Timbrens will handle an 8600 lbs load capacity, is that including the weight of the truck or is that an additional weight put into the bed of the truck? Thanks,

The weight rating for Timbrens like the part # TGMRCK25D that you referenced is the amount of additional suspension support they will provide the vehicle they are installed on. You should note that Timbrens do not actually increase the towing capacity of the vehicle they are installed on.

They will provide additional support so that the vehicle can carry it's current capacity in a safer, more level way.

I attached a help article on Timbrens for you to check out as well.

These have been confirmed as a fit for your 2015 GMC Sierra 3500 so they would work well for you.
