Question:
We have a 2020 GMC 3500 SRW Diesel Denali. Our 5th wheel is 18k. I have attached our weight report. It looks like I need to lose some pounds. But also, I want to upgrade our suspension system, the rear for sure, and if necessary, the the front too. We tow the 5th wheel around on a gooseneck ball with a Reese 20k inbox. The airbags on it can only do so much. I really want a better ride when we are towing, and when not towing too. We travel 5-6 months a year. Can you recommend everything I should get?

Expert Reply:
For your 2020 GMC Sierra 3500 single rear wheel diesel the best suspension enhancement option we have is the RoadActive Suspension kit part # RAS3611-CHD for if you have factory top overload springs or # RAS3611-HD for if you do not have them.
Unlike other suspension enhancement options the RAS systems give you the best support while also improving ride quality loaded and unloaded unlike other options which make the ride quality rougher especially when unloaded. Stability and handling is also greatly improved too which is a nice bonus as well.
With the RAS kits I don't think you'll need to do front suspension as well.
