The best SumoSprings for your 2018 Chevy 2500 are going to be the SumoSprings Rebel Custom Helper Springs item # SSR-203-47-2. These have a 5,000 lbs load leveling capacity and are compatible with in-bed hitches. This is a two piece system so when your Silverado is not loaded down from the weight of your 5th wheel trailer you won't notice them.

I have linked an installation video below to help you get these helper springs set up.
