The RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit for your 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 will not affect the unloaded ride height or ride quality. This system only comes into play when the truck is loaded down; when weight is added to the back of the truck this kit automatically adjusts to keep your truck level and reduce body sway on turns and also enhance braking and traction.

When deciding if you should get the Standard Kit # RAS4611 (rated at 2,000lbs) or the Heavy Duty Kit # RAS54FR (rated at 3,000lbs), it really comes down to how much weight you will be hauling or towing and how often you will tow this weight. If you are occasionally towing a small utility trailer or putting an ATV and light cargo in the bed of your truck then the standard kit will work just fine for you. If you are consistently towing a heavy trailer or heavy load in the bed of your truck that is dramatically sagging the rear end of your truck then you will want to go with the heavy duty setup.

Keep in mind, these are suspension enhancement kits that will assist your factory suspension but will not increase your suspension weight capacity. Never exceed the capacity or towing limits of your vehicle. I attached a demonstration video and an installation video for you to check out.
