Helpful Expert Reply:

Yes you can use a weight distribution system with a suspension enhancement kit like the SumoSprings that you mentioned. The proper way to use the two together is to install the suspension kit and then after that install and setup the weight distribution. This allows the two kits to work well together.

The Timbren Suspension Enhancement System #T28MR is the kit which will fit your 2024 GMC Sierra 1500. Do understand this is a very heavy duty spring with a weight capacity of 8,600lbs. This will most likely give you a less than desirable ride…
