Question:
Im looking for a product to make my rear suspension sag less on my 2008 chevy express 1500 awd. I was considering products like the heavy duty timbren bump stops or air bags, what is best value/function?

The answer to your question depends on the weight of your cargo and your expectation of comfort in your 2008 Chevy Express 1500 van. The Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System item # TGMRG25C has a capacity of 6,000 lbs but will provide a stiff ride. I typically only recommend these systems as a last resort or on work trucks with service beds. I recommend going with an airbag system like the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs item # F2423. This system has a 3,600 lbs capacity and will provide you a smooth stable ride that will keep your van level when you are hauling a heavy load. Another perk is the air bags adjust manually from side to side, which allows you to balance uneven loads.
I recommend adding the Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System for Air Helper Springs - Remote - Bluetooth - EZ Mount item # AL74000EZ to your set up if you go with the air bags. Air Lift's, 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 which you can control from the comfort of your van.
