I would go with an Air Bag system for your 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 over the RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit item # RAS54FR you were looking at. I recommend the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs with Internal Jounce Bumpers item # AL88388. These have a 5,000-lb weight capacity. The air bags reduce the strain on your rear suspension, increase safety, and compensate for uneven loads. They level your truck from front to back and adjust independently for side-to-side leveling of off-center loads. They also improve steering and braking performance. The LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate air springs have internal bumpers, so you get the adjustable load support of air springs and the comfort and reliability of jounce springs. Jounces also work as a fail-safe if air springs lose pressure. The Air Lift LoadLifter helper springs are also the only airbag system that is compatible with a 5th wheel hitch.

I also recommend the Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System for Air Helper Springs - Remote - Bluetooth - EZ Mount item # AL74000EZ. Air Lift's premium, wireless, onboard compressor system with Bluetooth allows you to fill your air springs at the touch of a button. The WirelessAIR also automatically maintains pre-set air pressure levels. It lets you adjust 2 air springs independently with the wireless remote control. This allows you to level your vehicle front to back. It also allows you to get side-to-side leveling of off-center loads by inflating each spring with a different amount of air.

Answer 1

As for comparing the Timbrens #TGMRCK15S to the Roadmaster Active Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit #RAS54FR on your 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500 (4x4), the answer really depends on how much you tow or need suspension support for your Chevy.…

Hi Bill; I'm not surprised the #T53MR gives you a rough ride since it is the severe service kit. Timbren SES isn't overly forgiving to begin with, and this particular design is for constant loads like a slide-in camper. I would recommend the…

Really good questions. And I understand being a bit skeptical of the RoadActive (RAS) suspension system, and it does have its pros and cons for your 2023 GMC Sierra 1500 when compared to the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs #F2609. Will the RAS…

The X31 or Elevation package does not give your 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 a lift kit like the AT4 kit does so the suspension enhancement solutions do not require an additional spacer or anything in case that is why you mentioned that. But that said the…

Hey Naron, sorry for the confusion! We change the RAS kit part numbers on our site. So the #RAS54FR is the exact same as the 4611-HD which fits your 2025 GMC Sierra 1500. Are you towing with your truck?

Hey Junior, the Weigh Safe weight distribution system part #WS94RR that you referenced is the correct kit for your 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 and the weight of your car hauler. This will be a great addition to your towing setup! Then for a Roadactive kit…
