The SumoSprings Rebel Custom Helper Springs # SSR-201-40-2 which fit your 2008 Chevy Silverado 2500 and have a weight capacity of 2,600 lbs are an excellent choice to add a suspension enhancement system (SES) to your 5th wheel towing setup.

The 2,600 lb rating means that they will help to support up to 2,600 lbs of payload weight. They won't increase the weight rating of your pickup but they do help to make your towing experience much better.

If you are wanting something a little more heavy duty then we also have the SumoSprings # SSR-201-47-2 which have a 4,600 lb weight capacity. Again, the weight rating means that they will help support up to 4,600 lbs for a suspension that is in good working order.
