Buddy has an 09 1500 suburban and it sags pretty bad with his 232 Cobalt. What products are out there that will help him with this sag issue?

is it auto level on the back or leaf?

Chum of mine hauls a trailer with his 2010 Sierra with 4 cords of wood in it and he added helper bags for the weight. No more sag; he said they were pretty easy to install....

first thing i wanna ask is whats the tongue weight of what you are towing , i think the limit on tongue weight is 500 lbs and if what your towing is close to 500 lbs then its gonna squat a bit if you have springs in the back you can get heavy duty springs but that stiffens the ride quite a bit or if the trailer is a single axle switching to a double axle will help

also when your towing something thats got a heavy tongue like on a long trip or something its a good idea to not pack the cargo area to the gills

I leveled mine and did 1.5" in the rear and mine sags more as well I'm thinking it's because the height rod isn't longer so it shows the vehicle is sitting higher already . I want to see about getting a longer rod so it pumps the shocks up . And also do air bags . Maybe the ones in the springs

Has anybody fabricated longer rear leveling rods and have the specs for them?

Either buy a set of front ride height rods of a denali and install on rear for 1.5" lift OR call FTS and order some rod spacers. FTS ones require cutting stock rods in half and set screws to adjust ride height correctly.

Just like Nathan said....$89 and maybe an hour and your set. Seriously easy. Helps ALOT!
