SumoSprings or Timbrens For 2012 Chevy Colorado

Question:

I have a 2012 chevy colorado LT extended cab 4x4 pickup. I occasionally tow a 2500lb boat with 350lbs tongue weight and 500 lbs of gear in box of pickup. Suspension is in exellant shape. What would you recommend to for my vehicle to help with sagging? Sumo springs or timbrens?

Hey Charles,

For your 2012 Chevy Colorado, I 100% recommend going with the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SSR-210-40.

The Timbren # TGMRCC will work, but they can make your ride very rough, especially when unloaded. The SumoSprings are going to give you more than enough support for when you are towing your boat and/or have gear in your Colorado's truck bed.

So the SumoSprings # SSR-210-40 will give you the benefit of stability and helping with sag while not giving you a ride as rough as the Timbrens can, so I'd go with that if it were my Colorado.

Hey Steve, The AirLift airbags with internal jounce bumpers are not able to be added to a system without so you would need to get a whole new system. With that said the system with the internal jounce bumpers is going to create a much rougher ride…
