Expert Reply:

To be able to achieve the max 30,000 lbs towing/3,000 lb tongue weight rating of the TorkLift SuperHitch Magnum Trailer Hitch Receiver # TLC1205-30 on your 2006 Chevy Silverado you actually need to use TorkLift SuperHitch Everest Weight Distribution (WD) System # TLWD1000.

The Everest only comes with the WD head, arms, and clamps so you also need either the adjustable shank # TLM9010 (12-1/2" length) or # TLM9011 (17-1/2" length) as well as the 2-5/16" Hitch Ball # C40085.

Please note that even though this has been tested and rated for up to 30,000 lbs towing and 3,000 lbs tongue weight if your Silverado itself isn't rated this high you will be restricted by the weight ratings of your pickup.

It is also worth noting that you need to add the tongue weight of your loaded trailer with the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of your pickup and make sure that number lands within the 1,500 lb - 3,000 lb tongue weight rating of this WD system.
