Suspension Recommendations

I'm a bit of a noob with suspension. My TV is a 2016 Chevy Tahoe LT with 50k miles. I'd like to look at upgrading my suspension to help provide the safest and smoothest tow possible. Problem is I don't really know squat about suspension other than it can really make things smooth
I'd like recommendations on what to look at/shop for. I'm not looking to break the bank, but safely towing is more important than saving pennies to me.

A good WDH with integrated sway control would be the first thing, unless you're pulling a small popup.
New shocks will help rebound.
But without any idea what or how much you're towing, it hard to recommend anything else.

Well, I'm assuming your EZ Lift WDH is old school with friction anti sway bars, instead of a modern WDH with integrated sway control.
And you have a SUV, so its suspension is built for softness.

A good weight distribution hitch with sway control and LT tires on the tow vehicle.

It does show his signature on a smart phone you just need to tap his name or his profile.

It shows his Weber grills and what nots!
