Timbren Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for 2008 Chevy Silverado 2500HD
Updated 03/13/2019 | Published 03/12/2019 >
Question:
I have a 2008 Chev Silverado 2500HD 4WD. Occasionally I put a 2400 lb truck camper in the bed and pull a 22 foot long pontoon boat using an extended hitch about 300lb tongue weight. But the truck is not level and the headlights are not on the road. I also carry about 1600lbs of hay in the bed and pull a small trailer with another 1600lbs of hay in it. I dont have problems with this load. Which set of helper springs would be best? Im looking for the Jounce style and I see the Timbren with several different capacities and the Aircells. Thanks.

Helpful Expert Reply:
Timbrens would be the way to go since you are hauling quite a bit of weight. So for your 2008 Chevy Silverado 2500 you'd want the part # TGMRCK25S which can give you up to an additional 6,000 lb of suspension support. You should note that this kit does not give you the ability to have more payload or towing capacity. Just to better support the current capacity of the vehicle. I attached an install video for this kit for you to check out as well.
I recommended this kit over the other options as the Timbrens have a bit more capacity than the other similar springs.
