Question:

Which sumo springs would I need for a 6500# travel trailer which adds about 800lbs to the back of the truck. I would like to get less squat and a little smoother ride trailering. Thanks,

The SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SS45FR are going to give you the best support on your 2024 GMC Sierra when towing your travel trailer of the SumoSprings line. Ideally you want to be using a weight distribution hitch like the Equal-i-zer # EQ37100ET as this will help to transfer weight onto the front suspension and give you sway protection. Do understand the weight distribution can be used with the SumoSprings if you want to use both.
