Expert Reply:
In regards to towing with a lifted 2006 Chevrolet Silverado, you are most likely going to experience sag which will create many issues. Therefore, it will be crucial to obtain suspension enhancements which will reduce this sag and prevent these issues such as reducing braking, instability, irregular tire wear, etc. The best option would be airbags, the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs part # AL57272 with the Air Lift LoadLifter Air Spring Level Spacers part # AL52460. This allows you to fine tune your setup for the best results.
