Hey Ted! What you are describing is no surprise. The Timbren SES is great for certain applications but notorious for its impact on unloaded ride quality. It is for that reason that we typically recommend the SumoSprings for bump stop style suspension enhancement.
The SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SS45FR will fit both the 2022 and 2025 Silverado 1500 as long as they aren't Trail Boss or ZR2 models. You will notice a significant improvement in your unloaded ride quality over the Timbren while still getting that extra support when you're hauling your golf cart.
