Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for 2018 Chevy Silverado 1500 Towing Travel Trailer
Published 03/01/2023 >
Question:
I am trying to decide what I need to install on my 2018 Silverado crew 1500. I tow a 36 8350lb dry travel trailer a few times a year. I have a load distribution hitch, with a sway bar. Specs say hitch weight is 970lbs. so Im estimating 1100lbs hitch weight give or take when we hit the road. I would like to increase the load handling to make the ride a little more comfortable. I dont know whether to go with air, sumo springs, or this torx thing I read about. What do you recommend?

For what you are looking for the best suspension enhancement kit for your 2018 Chevy Silverado 1500 would be the Roadactive part # RAS54FR which is easy to install, gives you adjustable support, and unlike other options improves the ride quality instead of making it harsher and also improves handling and stability loaded and unloaded. Its by far the best option.
