    RAS Suspension vs Bags for sagging while towing

    I think it was the 4611-HD, but a call to their customer service will solidify the model. I actually called, didn’t leave a message, but they called me back a couple times. We kept missing each other due to time diff (AK to NC), but finally connected. Verified fitment and I ordered. I recommend...

    RAS Suspension vs Bags for sagging while towing

    Have you done any towing with the sumosprings? I was looking into the RAS mentioned above to reduce sag w/ a trailer, but just saw your post about the sumosprings and checked them out. I really like the price, ease of install, and idea behind them (sounds much better than 'bags--no compressed...

    Bison Stickers

    I’m leaving the Bison stickers. That said, I’m unhappy with GM’s blurring of the lines between models. From a distance, the bison decal almost looks like the TB decal, and the ZR2 up front could be mistaken for the Z71 badge. Add to that the black hood insert now standard on all TBs, and it just...

    Hitch weight and payload

    Thanks, I may look into that. A TT is a pretty big purchase, so it takes a lot of planning (and prayer) to get the right one.

    Hitch weight and payload

    Yeah, I get all that’s said. ‘Bags, springs, etc. just help with ride and comfort, not a fix for low payloads. And I just shoulda known better the steel add-ons of the Bison would drastically change towing and payload. We didn’t necessarily get the ZR2 for towing, and the Bison we ended up...

    Hitch weight and payload

    Not sure if the Deavers work on a ZR2; only mentions the Trail Boss. However, I’m looking into the RAS helpers: https://activesuspension.com/products/chevrolet-1500-silverado-pickup-1990-2021-hd

    Hitch weight and payload

    Yes, Bison. I thought that might be part of it, but still annoying. Especially ‘cause now I have to factor all that when/if I get the winch added. That would likely kill any payload when towing a trailer. Hindsight, as they say…

    Hitch weight and payload

    Much appreciated. All good info, which helps, even though it doesn't--haha. Honestly, I'm pretty annoyed [with GM] by 8ball_99's 2022 ZR2's payload of 1411--my 2023 is down 26%. Wonder what was changed in 1 model year to drop the payload that much. When we're talking about my initial inquiry in...

    Hitch weight and payload

    Thanks for the replies! I’m tracking pretty much all of what you’re saying. I provided GVWR of the trailers because I don’t intend to get too close to the 8800lbs my truck can tow (I see a lot of people ref’g 8900lbs, but my decal only shows 8800–I’m going with my truck’s label). Also, as...

    Hitch weight and payload

    I’ve been unable to find anyone’s experience with trailering and hitch weight. I know (based on my truck’s label) my ZR2 can tow up to 8800lbs with a (max) hitch weight of 880, and max payload of 1036lbs. I also know the rear is gonna sag, so helper springs or ‘bags are pretty much a necessity...

    Removable Assist Steps

    @BisonInCali I have the GM steps on my Bison (wife and I are both Hobbit-size), but I'm intrigued by your fab. I'm not super excited about the look of the GM steps...for all the reasons everyone has already stated! I'm as intrigued as the rest of these cats... Are you planning to post the...

    How Hard Do You Run Your 6.2L?

    Nice, dude! Good to see another Alaskan ZR2!

    TrailBoss Silverado (Avalanche TB)

    Not gonna lie…torques me off that this [stinkin’] EV comes standard w/ 35s and the ZR2 (especially including the Bison) only gets 33s. smh…
