Question:

Im anticipating some sagging while I tow my camping trailer. Its about 7000# give or take. I do have an anti-sway bar that helps with trailer sway but the rear end sagging does raise up the front end a bit too and makes the steering feels a bit light. The truck is completely level front to back while hitched. Do you recommend this product? What are your thoughts on it?

Expert Reply:

The SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SS45FR will help to provide some support to the rear of your 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500 but if there is enough weight back there that the back of your truck is sagging and you're losing traction up front then you need to use a weight distribution system as that will help to evenly distribute your trailer tongue weight over all of the axles involved in your setup - both the truck and the trailer.

For a weight distribution system in your weight range I recommend checking out the Blue Ox TrackPro # BLU77FR. This is a simple but effective system that has integrated sway control and adjustable brackets that fit multiple trailer tongue designs.
