To help with the rear end sag on your 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 caused by your boat trailer, you can use a suspension enhancement system. An airbag system such as the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2430 will allow you to customize the amount of help provided to the vehicle's suspension as needed for the load.

I recommend the Firestone system because it will allow you to inflate the bags as needed to combat the rear end squat caused by the boat trailer. The air can be let out of the bags when you are not towing or carrying a heavy load in order to maintain your Silverado's ride quality. Another great feature is that the Firestone air bags can be inflated individually if you carry an off-center load in the bed of the truck in the future. The customizable support of these air bags is a great feature. I've attached a review video and an installation video of this springs for you.

If you'd prefer to go with a suspension enhancement system than does not need to be adjusted once it is installed, the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TGMRCK15S will be a great option for you. These are hollow rubber springs that are designed to become more rigid as more weight is put on them. This design is a maintenance-free spring that will not need to be inflated or deflated with varying loads. A review video and installation video of the Timbren springs is also attached.
