No, the RoadActive Suspension Kit part # RAS3611 will not increase either the payload or towing capacity of your 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 as with all of our suspension enhancements. They will work to help take some of the stress off your existing components by stiffening the leaf springs. This will in turn help to improve handling, stability, and vehicle sag.

The above kit has a weight capacity of 2,000 lbs which in the case of your 5th wheel trailer would be pin weight. If the pin weight of your trailer exceeds 2,000 lbs then you would want to look into the heavy duty model part # RAS3611-HD which has a weight capacity of up to 3,000 lbs.

I have attached a sample install video on the above kit for you as well.
