Hey Tim, thanks for reaching out. Yes, you can absolutely run the Air Lift Ride Control Air Helper Springs # AL59533 and Timbren SES # TGMRCCA together on your 2026 Chevy Colorado. They don't interfere with each other, and they make a really good combination. The air bags let you dial in the amount of support you need based on your trailer's tongue weight, while the Timbrens step in as the suspension compresses to help control squat, body roll, and bouncing over rough roads.
For a travel trailer with a GVWR under 6,500 lbs, I think it's a solid setup. The air bags give you the flexibility to level the truck, and the Timbrens add extra stability without any adjustment. Just keep in mind they're there to improve how the truck handles the load, not increase the truck's towing or payload ratings. Especially if you're also using a properly adjusted weight distribution hitch, you'll end up with a very stable and confidence-inspiring towing setup.
Do you plan to use a WD hitch as well?
