Looking for a rear shock up grade for a 2020 1500 2wd. I periodically tow a small ski boat and would like to keep the truck from sagging. Thanks

A shock is not going to prevent sagging. That's due to either weight distribution or rear axle spring rate.

Honestly, for ease of use / cost, the Timbrens do a great job. Literally a 5 - 10 minute install. No need to jack it up or get dirty. It did not effect unloaded ride at all.

I have a Wildwood Xlite 273qbxl at 6100# dry (say 6,800 - 7,000# loaded) and without the Timbrens the squat and truck towing performance is rather awful, so I know they are doing their job. I also have a hellwig set to the stiffest setting.

Good luck!
