Question:

Hello I was wondering what you could tell me about using the Active suspension system on a truck with adaptive ride control and not MagnaRide. Which part number should I be looking at?

I contacted RoadActive Suspension and the Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit # RAS2611 will work perfectly fine on your 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 with adaptive ride control. They have tested this kit and since it mounts to the top of the springs and doesn't contact the frame, there will be no issues at all.

With that being said, another option will be the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2609. This will be fully adjustable and, when not towing, will feel nonexistent and keep your ride feeling as close to stock as possible. When fully aired up to 100 psi, they will also add up to 5,000 pounds of load-leveling capacity.

I prefer the Firestone air bags due to their adjustability, but they are a more complicated install and will need to be aired up for support, and then deflated when not in use. The # RAS2611 will be a set it and forget it type product and is a much easier install.
