RoadActive Suspension Kit for 2005 Chevy Silverado 1500 that is Lowered

Published 02/01/2022

Question:

I carry a power wheelchair 450 lbs. using a wheelchair lift 105 lbs. and a Class IV hitch on my 2005 Silverado 1500 Extended Cab LT 6.5foot bed . The truck has been lowered 2inch front spindles and rear flipped shackles to make it easier for ingress and egress. Heavy duty shocks have been installed all the way around with heavy duty coil-overs in the rear to help eliminate some of the squat. With the chair loaded the back s 3 - 4inch and the nose rises a little over 1. I am considering using your standard duty RAS to help support the extra weight hanging off the rear and to smooth out the ride both when carrying the chair and without it. Given the info above, will your system work for my current set-up?

Yes the RoadActive Suspension kit part # RAS4611 does fit your 2005 Chevy Silverado and would work great with the lowering components your truck has installed. It will do a great job giving you the additional support you are looking for as well.
