Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs # AL88204 will work with the Draw-Tite gooseneck trailer hitch on your 2017 GMC Sierra 1500 4x4 as long as your truck is a short bed. This kit does not fit long bed models. There are special instructions for installation on trucks that have 5th wheel (or gooseneck in this case) frame brackets already installed.

If your truck is a long bed you would need kit # AL88211. It, too, has separate instructions for 5th wheel/gooseneck brackets.
