Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 Elevation
Published 04/12/2023
Question:
I have a 2021 GMC Sierra Elevation, CC SB, that I mostly use to tow a 2021 Minilite 2506S with a Propride P3 hitch. I do not have Max Tow package. Towing is fine for the most part but my feeling is that this trailer is maxing out the truck. I was thinking about trading in the 1500 for a 2500 but have decided in the short term to upgrade the Elevation. I am going to install Bilstein 5100s in the rear and will install LT tires. Was thinking about suspension enhancements for towing - suggestions appreciated - considering RAS, airbags or helper springs. Thanks!

The best suspension enhancement solution for your 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 Elevate is the Roadactive kit part # RAS54FR. Unlike other options this kit really has no downsides. It gives you adjustable support to get rid of sag, improves handling, and actually improves ride quality loaded and unloaded so I recommend it as much as I can.
