The differences between the Firestone Ride Rite # F2613 and the Red Label # F2709 for your 2023 GMC Sierra 3500 Crew Cab Long Bed is the air pressure and max weight capacity.
The Ride-Rite # F2613 are rated for 5,000lbs and 100 PSI, where the Red Label # F2709 are rated for 7,500lbs and 150 PSI.
Since you have only 2280lbs of pin weight there is zero reason to go with the heavy duty bags, as you are well within the range of the # F2613 so that's what I recommend.

Furrion did finally release the adapter needed to use their Vision S systems like the # FOS05TASF on the newer GM trucks like your 2022 GMC Sierra 3500 with the part # FR87PR. view full answer...
For your 2015 GMC Sierra 3500 Denali DRW 4x4, I recommend using the Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs part # F2709 over the Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Air Helper Springs part # AL57538 for two reasons. The first reason is that the Air Lift kit requires drilling into the frame (minimal) whereas the Firestone kit is completely drill free. The second reason is in regards to the construction of the airbags. The Firestone airbags use a crimp rolled design which is... view full answer...
Both of the hitches you asked about have some great features. They both have dual jaws for better king-pin contact, and both have the same towing and vertical load limit capacity.
There are a few differences between the hitches. The hitch height of the B&W # BWRVK3700 is 16-3/4 - 18-3/4 inches where the Curt # C16530-16025 is 13 to 17-inches. The Curt has a 10-year warranty on the hitch and limited lifetime on the legs. The B&W hitch has a lifetime warranty. The jaws on the B&W hitch... view full answer...
I looked up Prometer tires because I have not heard of them before. Based on what I have found they are basically an economy brand. Provider tires on the other hand are a premium brand and what some RV and trailer manufacturers use in the production of RVs/trailers. I may be a little biased but based on what I know if it were my trailer I would run the Provider tires any day of the week over the Prometer.

The B&W Companion RVK3000 was an early model that has a max weight rating of 18,000 lbs, adjustable height ranging from 14-3/4" - 16-3/4", and used U-Bolts for the installation.
The B&W Companion # BWRVK3500 was upgraded so that the weight rating is now 20,000 lbs, has a higher adjustable height range of 16-1/4" - 18-1/4" (which is more common), and has a single point for mounting which makes it easier to use.
It wasn't that the older systems were bad, B&W just saw where they could make... view full answer...
The BAKFlip MX4 Hard Tonneau Cover - Folding - Aluminum - Matte Finish # BAK48122 and the BAKFlip F1 Hard Tonneau Cover - Folding - Aluminum and Fiberglass # BAK72122 are both excellent choices. The difference is the MX4 has 1/2 inch thick rustproof aluminum panels rated to hold up to 400 lbs evenly distributed. The F1 has 5/8 inch thick fiberglass-reinforced polymer panels with aluminum undersides and insulated cores for strength. The fiberglass will not heat up like the aluminum top... view full answer...
Personally, I have seen a lot fewer issues with the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty # RED24FR than with the Curt Spectrum # C51170. The Spectrum was released in early 2018. Currently Redarc only offers the one size control knob.
To install the Redarc Liberty # RED24FR in your 2023 GMC Sierra 1500 you will need the Tekonsha Pigtail # 3064-P and the Redarc to Tekonsha Adapter # 331-TPH-017. This will support up to 2 braking axles or 4 brake assemblies.

The Timbren Suspension Enhancement System part # T28MR and SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs part # SS45FR are both great options for a 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 AT4. I recommend the SumoSprings as they don't typically ride as rough as the Timbrens but the Timbrens also offer more support. They are both however bolt-on, no maintenance options.
Please note, a leveling kit won't warranty any additional spacers to be added to the rear suspension enhancements. These kits are also not compatible... view full answer...
The Ram Kit # BWGNXA2062 fits in the larger 4 outer puck holes that the Ram factory in bed hitch uses. You can see the chain connections are larger with this kit than the Kit # BWGNXA2061 for Ford, GM and Nissan factory in bed hitch connections. view full answer...
The Demco Recon # DM8550043 and Curt CrossWing # C86JR have quite a few differences that separate the two similar designs. The Recon has an extra 1,000lbs of capacity and comes with a 15-1/2", 17-1/4", or 18" height setting. The CrossWing has a 16-3/8", 18-3/8", and 20-3/8" height setting so it can sit a bit higher, which could be beneficial depending on the height need for your trailer to sit level while towing.
Both heads have rubber dampeners to help with ride quality, but the CrossWing... view full answer...
For me the Curt PowerRide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C36WR does appear to be the best value. The built in lube plates help to ensure that you protect the hitch from getting marred up when connecting to the 5th wheel. And unlike some other manufactures the mounting location for the hardware in a good location. I would recommend keeping a spare set or 2 of the Wear Plates # C52WR in the event that they become damaged since they will not be as easily sourced as a standard lube plate.

The Timbren Suspension Enhancement System # T28MR is designed for your 2023 GMC Sierra 1500 both for heavy loads and unloaded. Do note that unloaded ride quality will be more stiff.
The Timbren System # T53MR is their severe service kit. This is designed for vehicles that will always be carrying heavy loads. If you are adding a service bed, slide in camper or salt spreader this is the better option. Without a heavy load on the suspension you will notice a much stiffer ride for the rear... view full answer...
The hitch you need depends on the bumper you have now on your 2005 GMC Sierra 2500. The Curt # C15312 is designed to fit if your truck has the factory cutout bumper. More than likely this is what you have on your truck. The # C15313 is designed for models that have the 10" deep drop bumper. view full answer...
Personally I feel the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SS45FR are a better option for your 2023 GMC Sierra 1500. These are not as stiff as the Timbren Springs # T28MR and will not cause such a harsh ride when not hauling additional weight or under light loads. These particular SumoSprings are rated for 1,500lbs which is more in line with the payload capacity for your Sierra. The Timbrens are rated for 8,600lbs which is far more than your truck would ever be able to carry. view full answer...
The highest capacity B&W Companion 5th wheel hitch available for your 2022 GMC Sierra 3500 long bed would be part # BWRVK3715 which has a 25K capacity.
For a higher capacity alternative, the Curt # C36WR PowerRide has a 30K capacity. The hitch has a actuating handle that's specially designed to be comfortable to use. The hitch also has an integrated teflon lube plate, so you wouldn't need to use any grease on the skid. Both features aren't found on the Companion.
Both hitches have dampened... view full answer...
Though both the Curt A20 # C84FR and Q20 # C57FR that are designed to fit your 2022 GMC Sierra 3500 long bed with the factory pucks are rated for the same weight capacities (20k towing and 5k vertical load), there are a few key differences between them that I have listed below. Both will also use the same leg system, so I will only be referring to the heads.
Curt A20 # C84FR:
Interlocking 2-jaw system
Fully articulating torsion head for controlled coupling and a stable, quiet ride

Between the Curt # C60692 and B&W # BWGNXA2061 that will fit your 2022 GMC Sierra 3500 with the factory pucks/prep package, I do prefer the B&W. Though both the Curt and B&W are rated up to 30,000 pounds and will fit your truck perfectly, the B&W is American made and I find it easier to use. The larger locking and unlocking handle moves up and down quickly and easier, even in cold weather and gloved hands. It is a little more expensive, but I think it's worth it. view full answer...
I recommend using the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch # BWRVK3715 for your 2024 GMC Sierra 3500 with the in bed factory prep/puck system. This hitch is made in the USA and B&W has great attention to detail. While the PowerRide # C36WR looks like a great hitch I have never been a fan of the integrated Wear Plates # C52WR. They are specific to the one hitch and when they become damaged they may be difficult to find on a trip. And as I have seen with other manufacturers if they discontinue... view full answer...
There are a couple of things that set the Rhino Rack system using # RRVA150B-2, # RRRCH4, # RRRCP43-BK apart from the Inno system that uses parts # INXB138-2, # INXS350, # INTR154 you're looking at. I'll start out by saying that when it comes to installation, they will install in basically the same manner on your 2017 GMC Yukon, so there's no real benefit of one over the other.
Comparing the two, I generally think that having the extra few inches of bar space that the Rhino Rack provides... view full answer...
