Will SumoSprings Fit 2017 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali With MagneRide Suspension

Question

Question:

Ive got a 2017 Sierra 1500 Deali with the Magna Ride suspension. I tow a small toy hauler and fully loaded its about 8000# but still makes my truck squat a little. Will these Sumo Springs work for me?

The SumoSprings # SS45MR are compatible with the MagneRide suspension on your 2017 GMC Sierra 1500. These have a 2,800 lb weight capacity and a microcellular urethane construction.

The SumoSprings are a great solution to help keep you level while towing. They also absorb bumps and shocks while minimizing sway. The # SS45MR features a no-drill installation and is maintenance free. These come with a limited lifetime warranty and are made in the USA.

I have attached an installation video below for your reference.
