The Timbren Kit # T28MR is a great product for assisting with vehicle squat but it isn't designed to be cut. You can try it if you want but the only kit I know of that fits your 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 AT4 and is okay to trim to specs is the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SS45FR.

Timbren jounce springs are more of a thick rubber while the SumoSprings have more of a foam-like feel to them and SumoSprings has said their kits will still function as intended if they are trimmed.

Yes, they will! The TorkLift StableLoad item #TL89CR that fits your F-350 is compatible with Timbren systems. The Timbren's mount over your axle just inside the leaf springs. For your 2020 Ford F-350 dually, I recommend the Timbren Suspension…

With the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs #SS45FR or #SS65FR installed on your 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 with no additional cargo weight you will see 1/2" of clearance between the spring and your axle pad. This allows for you to have a…
