What is Best Suspension Enhancement Kit for 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500 Towing Trailer

Updated 02/16/2021 | Published 02/13/2021

Question:

I have a 2017 Silverado 1500 towing a 23 foot travel trailer fully loaded at 7,000 lbs. I have corrected most of the porpoising with a WDH. However, on concrete roads, I am still experiencing more bouncing than I would like. I tow about 3 months out of the year. I have read some of your online recommendations and it appears that the SSR-209-40 SumoSprings are appropriate for my issue. That said, I would appreciate your observations/recommendations. Thank you.

The best suspension enhancement solution we have for your 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500 is the RoadActive Suspension kit part # RAS54FR. This kit will give you the support you are wanting, improves ride quality, and also stability whereas other options are known to make the ride quality harsher. This also is adjustable which means you can tailor exactly how much support you need for the best overall towing experience.

Since you have a WD system you would want to first setup how much support you want from the RAS and then set up the WD system afterwards.
