Will the RoadActive Leaf Spring Kit # RAS3611-CHD Provide Support with a 3,400 Vertical Weight?
Published 02/18/2022
Question:
Hello, I own a 2020 Silverado 3500hd with a 3,700 cargo capacity. My vehicle has two overload leaf springs above the main leaf springs. I will be very close to the 3,700 max cargo due to my new trailer having a 3,400 pin weight. My two questions are? Will your product still work being it states it has a 3000 pound capacity? And if so, do I need to get the 3611 CAD because I have the two overload springs on top? Thank you

Expert Reply:
When it comes to the 3,000-pound capacity of the RoadActive Suspension Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit - HD # RAS3611-CHD, it is important to note that this kit is not designed to increase your available weight capacity on your 2020 Silverado 3500HD with a 3,700 pound cargo capacity. With that being said, the kit will definitely provide the benefits of reducing sag, reducing dangerous sway, and improving overall control. The added support of the # RAS3611-CHD with the 3,400 pound vertical weight on your fifth-wheel trailer will definitely help out with the overall ride quality of your 3500.
To address the overload springs question, you do not have to purchase any additional hardware for your top overload springs. The # RAS3611-CHD will be able to attach to your setup. This is because this kit is designed for trucks with top overload springs. I went ahead and attached the steps from the installation manual for attaching the kit with your overland springs.
