Question:
When towing a 4500lb travel trailer with my Chevy Colorado I notice a constant minor side-to-side bump that Im not sure if it could be coming from movement between the hitch and the receiver. Will an anti-rattle stabilizer eliminate side-to-side movement? Any other thoughts on what could be causing this side-to-side bump?

Expert Reply:
I do have an option for you but an anti-rattle device won't do anything when towing a trailer. The SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs which install on the vehicle are great at reducing body roll and sway while towing or hauling. If you have a diesel engine then you'll want to use part # SS85FR or if you have a gas engine you'll want to use part # SSR-212-40.
