Question:
I want to add some additional support for my rear suspension on my 2021 Silverado 1500. Would you recommend the Timbren springs or the Roadmaster suspension as being the better option?

Expert Reply:
I recommend the RoadActive Suspension kits # RAS54FR and # RAS4611 as being better than the Timbren options for your 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. In my experience the Timbren kits will create a hasher ride quality with light loads or no weight at all than the RoadActive.
Since there are 2 kits the right one for you will depend on the loads you will carry. The RoadActive # RAS4611 is going to be rated for 2,000lbs being the lighter of the options. This will work best for most since the maximum payload for most Silverado 1500's will be below 2,000lbs.
The RoadActive # RAS54FR is rated for a capacity of 3,000lbs. This kit is best if your payload is rated over 2,000lbs and you plan to carry close to your maximum payload. As it is their Heavy Duty Kit it will also be better if you will always have the additional load in your vehicle.
