Expert Answers about GMC

  • What Is An OEM Prep Package And How Do I Know If I Have It
  • The OEM prep package consists of 4 "pucks" in the bed of the truck that will allow you to drop in puck style hitches for easy installation and removal, that gives you a completely clear bed when not in use. The B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package # BWRVK3775 you were looking at has four puck style feet that drop into the pucks and a lever on each leg that simply turns to lock or unlock the leg in the puck. The prep package will typically also...

  • Differences In Firestone Ride-Rite F2709 and Red Label F2613 For 2023 GMC Sierra 3500
  • 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. I do also recommend...

  • Will PullRite SuperGlide Hit Tailgate on 2025 GMC Sierra 2500
  • Hey Steve! The PullRite SuperGlide # PUL83RR will not contact the tailgate on your 2025 GMC Sierra 2500. They have tested this extensively and said making contact and causing damage is not a concern. This is a really great hitch and autoslide is the way to go. One thing you will need to do is identify the pin box on your 2025 Cougar 29RLI since a capture plate is required for this 5th wheel hitch. Once you have identified it you can choose from the following: -PullRite SuperGlide Quick...

  • Recommended Air Bags for a 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 w/ a Diesel Engine
  • You are correct, with that diesel engine you are limited. The best option is going to be the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs with Internal Jounce Bumpers item # AL88288. These have a 5,000 lbs load leveling capacity and come with custom fit brackets that attach to your 2021 GMC Sierra 1500's frame. They do not require drilling unless you already have 5th wheel brackets installed. They are compatible with in bed hitches but you'll need to drill some holes on both sides....

  • Suspension Enhancement for 2020 GMC Sierra 2500
  • If you're towing most of the time then I would go with the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TGMRCK25D. These will provide the most support for your 2020 GMC Sierra 2500 while towing your 5th wheel. If you're more concerned about ride quality then the RoadActive Suspension # RAS3611-HD would be the better choice. The Timbren has a tendency to be a bit rough when you aren't towing or hauling. If you want the best option possible I would go with the Firestone Air Bags # F2709....

  • How Is The Self-Contained Hydraulic Jack e33VV Powered?
  • Hello Josh, thanks for reaching out. The Self-Contained Hydraulic Jack # e33VV cannot be powered by the 7-way. It needs its own full size deep cycle RV/marine battery. You will also need battery cables for connecting to the HPU.

  • Rear Suspension Helper Springs for a 2018 GMC Sierra 2500 Towing a 5th Wheel Trailer
  • Hello, I will be happy to help you select some helper springs to improve the ride and level out the truck when you are towing. Timbren springs are an easy install but they will make the ride stiffer when you are not towing. The similar SumoSprings Solo # SSR-207-47 will also level out the truck but will not be as stiff when not towing compared to the Timbren springs. Another option to consider is RoadActive Suspension # RAS3611-HD. Installation is easy with this kit as well. It will...

  • Will SumoSprings Fit 2025 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali With Adaptive Ride Control
  • Hi Brian; the SumoSprings # SS45FR will not fit your 2025 Sierra 1500 with Adaptive Ride Control. The answer from Sam is a little older and probably written before anyone knew about the restriction. I went ahead and corrected it, thank you for pointing this out. However, that doesn't solve the problem of suspension enhancement for your truck. The only option is the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2609. If you don't mind monitoring the pressure in the air bags these are the way...

  • Does 2020 GMC Sierra 3500 Short Bed Need Slider Hitch to Tow 2016 Solitude 321RL
  • I checked out your 2016 Solitude 321RL and since it has a tapered nose and an extended pin box you wouldn't need a slider hitch installed in the bed of your 2020 GMC Sierra 3500. You could use the B and W Companion Fixed Hitch for GM rail kit part # BWRVK3715 and you'd have the best fifth wheel hitch available for your truck as it's very easy to use, reliable, and also made in the USA.

  • Does Blade Stiffener Have to be Connected for Safe Usage of Detail K2 Hitch Mount Snowplow
  • Good question! The blade stiffeners that come with the Detail K2 Snowplow # K2AVAL8422 don't necessarily have to be used. I reached out to my contact at Detail K2 who said that the only time that those stiffeners really need to be used is if you will be pushing a lot of heavy snow. Otherwise you'll be just fine using it on your 2003 GMC Yukon XL without those connected. The reason why you're having trouble is because those will connect if the receiver is the same height as the crosstube,...

  • Recommended Hitch and Wiring for 2025 Toyota Sienna
  • Hi Greg; we do carry a hitch and wiring for your 2025 Sienna. The best hitch is the etrailer # e56RR. This has a 2" receiver, bolt-on installation, and a matte black powder coat finish. It also comes with a limited lifetime warranty. For wiring you can use the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C53VV which has a plug and play installation. You will also need a ball mount like the # e38NR to complete your setup.

  • Air Bag Kit For 2024 GMC 1500 4x4 With Adaptive Ride Control
  • Hey Philip, thanks for reaching out. The Airlift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL57388 are a confirmed fit for a 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 4x4 with adaptive ride control. We have had several of our own customers report back to us that this kit does fit models with adaptive ride control, so we know it will work. This will go a long way to help eliminate any/all squatting and keep everything at the stock ride height. It is a good idea to add an onboard compressor system. For that I recommend...

  • Lift Kit Needed for #11 Torflex Axles with Top Mounting Holes
  • Thank you for the pictures! I reached out to my contact at Dexter Axle who was able to confirm that you have #11 Torflex axles so the correct lift kit is part # K71-724-02. Since yours has top mounting holes you also need the bracket kit # DX57FR for this lift kit to fit properly.

  • Comparing the Air Lift 7500 Airbags vs Firestone 7500 Airbags for a 2015 GMC Sierra 3500
  • 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...

  • Will the Curt Gooseneck Hitch # C60642 Install in a Different Spot Than the B&W # BWGNRK1020?
  • Hello Nick, The Hitch ball for the Curt # C60642 will sit above or slightly forward of the rear truck axle. I attached 2 pictures of the underbody of the 2022 GMC Sierra, as you can see that the Curt # C60642 sits in the same spot as the B&W # BWGNRK1020.

  • Replacement Trailer Jack Recommendation for Dutton-Lainson Jack on Ranger Trailer
  • We definitely have some trailer jacks you can use as a replacement for your Dutton-Lainson but it doesn't look like anything we have will work as a direct replacement. If you'd like to stick with the Dutton-Lainson brand then I recommend checking out the Swivel Marine Trailer Jack with Caster Wheel # DL67MR which is a bolt-on installation and rated for 1,500 lbs. Attached is a review video for you to check out.

  • Can Andersen Ultimate Connection 5th Wheel Hitch be Used with 2025 GMC Sierra 3500 Short Bed
  • Hey Craig, it sounds like you are asking if the Andersen Ultimate Connection part # AN67VR can be used in the bed of your 2025 GMC Sierra short bed that has the OEM rail kit. If so, yes it can but you will need to use the pop in ball adapter part # AN27VR as well. Whether or not you'd have enough turning clearance would be based on the trailer though. It would need to have a tapered nose as well as an extended pin box.
