If your 2002 Chevy Silverado 1500 is leaning to the left, I assume you have come to us because you are carrying a heavy load and this is when it is occurring. If so, we have exactly what you need to fix the issue; if it is happening at all times you will need to take your truck to a qualified mechanic to diagnose the problem.

Should your truck be leaning under a load the issue can be resolved with the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TGMRCK25S which work to absorb the weight of a load in your truck bed, keeping your truck level, stable and reducing the leaning and body roll you are experiencing.

I have added a link to a video install of these on a Silverado for you to take a look at.

The kit you referenced is actually designed for heavier duty versions of the Silverado like the 2500 and the 3500. I wish SumoSprings offered lift spacers for their kits but they do not currently. Best solution will be to use the #TGMRCK25S which…

The GVWR is the gross vehicle weight rating. This is the most the vehicle can weigh including cargo, passengers, gas, everything. The GAWR is the gross axle weight rating which is 3,950 pounds for the front and 3,750 for the rear. The cargo weight…

The difference between the 2007 Chevy Silverado 2500 and the 3500 series trucks is the weight capacity. The 3500 is going to have a higher weight capacity than the 2500. I spoke with the engineer at Timbren and he told me that the TImbren part…

Answer 5

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…

Where you'll attach the pivot arms on the B&W Patriot #BWRVK3255 just depends on how much clearance you need from the cab of the truck, but in most cases you'll be just fine using the closest setting to the cab. You'll want to make…

Answer 8

I attached a picture that shows how the Timbren #TGMRTT35D that you referenced gets assembled. The spacer #TA25722-90P00 you referenced would go between the numbers 2 and 3 and you'd be set. See attached picture. You will need to provide a longer…

Answer 9

You would definitely want to go with the Timbren kit part #TGMRCK25S for your 2006 Chevy Silverado 2500HD over the other kit you mentioned. The other kit is for severe service applications so it would give you a pretty harsh ride quality. The…

The Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement #TGMRCK25S will indeed help to fight the bouncing you are experiencing when towing your 3600lb camper trailer with your 2006 GMC Sierra 1500 2WD but I do not recommend going with this option. The reason for…

The GVWR of a vehicle is set in stone. There is nothing you can do to increase the capacity short of replacing the axle, suspension, and other load bearing and drive train components. What suspension enhancement like #TGMRCK25S does is help support…
