Question:
My truck is experiencing chucking from a 4200lb empty gooseneck trailer. Hitch and ball checked fine. Even with adequate air in the airlift struts to level the truck/trailer, the chucking occurs during normal highway driving, most often when the trailer hits is small bump, but also stopping/starting. Suspension has been checked and is fine. Would airbags increase the lateral stability during towing? If not, what else can be done?

Expert Reply:
If you are using air shocks to level your suspension and not additional suspension support I would imagine that is why you are experiencing chucking. The best suspension enhancement kit we have for your 2002 Chevy Silverado 1500HD would be the RoadActive Suspension kit part # RAS54FR which will give you the adjustable support you are wanting, is easily installed, and unlike other options will improve ride quality and stability loaded and unloaded.
