Best Suspension Enhancement for 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500 for Squat When Towing

Question:

2020 Chevy Silverado 1500 RST 6.2. Im interested in the Timbrens or some other solution to help with the squat and sway pulling my 7800 camper trailer. What is the best option you recommend? The 6.2 V8 pulls the camper great. It tried to attach a picture of the setup. Thank you

Thanks for the photo and the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TGMRCK15S you mentioned is a good option for helping keep your 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500 level, but the best option is something a little different, the RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit # RAS4611.

The reason why the RAS kit is the best is because it is an active system, which means it continually works to reinforce your Silverado's leaf spring suspension. The force normally put on your Chevy's leaf springs when towing gets transferred to the RAS Enhancement Kit, allowing your leaf springs to work normally.

The RAS Enhancement Kit # RAS4611 will keep your Silverado level, help with body roll, and give you better traction and handling because it allows your front wheels to stay completely on the ground instead of being slightly raised under the tongue weight of your trailer.

I like both options and the Timbrens will certainly do a fine job, but for the best overall enhancement I highly recommend the RAS. The only thing to note is the RAS does not fit High Country models of Silverado with MagneRide suspension.

I have added links to video reviews of both the Timbrens # TGMRCK15S and RoadActive Suspension Kit # RAS4611.
