For your 2014 Chevy Silverado 1500 towing a mid-sized, 6,000 lb travel trailer, the best SumoSprings for your application are going to be the 1,500 lb capacity SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SS95MR.

These will give you the right amount of compression so you get the best support possible without having a ride that would be too stiff like the higher-rated springs would give you.
