Will Roadactive Suspension Help 2016 GMC Sierra 3500 Dually Raise Back End of Truck
Updated 02/17/2026 | Published 06/09/2024
Question:
I have a 2016 GMC 3500 Denali HD 4 WD Dually. My truck seems to sit level to a little lower in the back. I would like the back to sit a little higher. Would you recommend a 2,3,4” lift plus the RAS? Thanks Kevin

Hey Kevin,
Good question, and your 2016 GMC 3500 dually will be raised just by adding the RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit # RAS3611-CHD.
The # RAS3611-CHD will raise the back end of your truck by an 1" to 1-1/2" so you don't have to add a lift unless you want to raise it up a bit more than that. Otherwise, if you do want more lift, just make sure it won't interfere with the leaf springs where the RAS kit installs.

Hey Kevin, how did things turn out after adding the RoadActive Suspension kit to your GMC 3500? Did the 1 to 1-1/2 inch lift give you the rear height you were looking for? Your results could really help others thinking about the same setup.
