Recommended Rear Suspension Enhancement For 2016 GMC Sierra 3500 DRW To Give Smoother Ride

Question

Question:

Do you have any recommendations to provide a smoother ride on my gmc dually? I pull a fifth wheel trailer which weighs est. 16,500. I am looking for airbags or something that would provide a smoother ride when not pulling the trailer and also help level the truck when loaded.

We have exactly what you are looking for!

For your 2016 GMC Sierra 3500HD 4WD DRW towing a 16500lb 5th wheel trailer I recommend the RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit - Heavy Duty # RAS3611-CHD.

This kit will provide 3000lbs of load leveling support when you are towing your trailer, but it does so much more than that. Due to its design it will also eliminate axle wrap and minimize sway and body roll giving you a much more enjoyable loaded and unloaded ride, where most rear suspension enhancement only helps when you are loaded.

I included a video of the # RAS3611-CHD for you to take a look at.
