Question:
I have a 2007 GMC 1500 Sierra 1/2 ton new body style pick up with the short bed. 5 1/2 I want to purchase a BandW Goose neck hitch and fifth wheel adapter to haul a fiberglass fifth wheel weighing 7,000 pounds. I also want to add an air bag set up to keep my truck from squatting when hauling this trailer. What parts do you sell and recommend for this truck and application?

Expert Reply:
Since your truck bed is shorter than 6 feet long there's only one slider hitch that will have enough clearance to allow you to make tight turns and that's the Demco Hijacker Autoslide part # DM8550040 which slides back 22-1/2 inches which is about twice as much as other options. Also since this hitch slides back automatically you wouldn't have to worry about getting out and manually operating the slider either.
Then to install it in the bed of your 2007 GMC Sierra 1500 you'd need the custom install kit part # DM8552013-71 and you'd be set.
Then for an air bag kit the Firestone kit part # F2430 is the highest quality option that fits your truck.
