Question:

Ok, Im very confused, I have asked one tech if ya’ll had a turnover gooseneck hitch and an air level system that would fit my truck, which is a 2017 Chevy 1500 crew cab 4 WD 5 ½ foot bed. He said that you had the hitch Curt # C615-632 that would fit my truck which I believe is a good hitch, but he said there was NO air level system that would fit because they use the same mounting brackets, But then I look through your QandA and I find it can. PLEASE HELP CLEAR THIS UP, I WANT TO INSTALL AN TURNOVER HITCH WITH AIR BAGS AND NOT SURE WHICH WAY TO GO OR EVEN IF THERE IS A WAY......Thank you for your time

I can confirm for you that yes, the Curt Gooseneck Hitch # C615-632 will work with the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 # AL57204 as well as # AL88204, with the only difference being the internal jounce bumpers that are on the # AL88204 kit. These kits contain instructions (which are linked for you) for installation on trucks with a gooseneck like your 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500 will have.

I also recommend checking out the Air Lift WirelessONE Compressor System for Air Helper Springs # AL25980 which will allow you to detect and restore the pressure of your air bags with the use of a remote control. I've added links to video reviews of these parts for you to take a look at as well.
