For your 2005 GMC Sierra 2500 HD, there are two Timbren rear suspension compatible with it.

The # TGMRCK25S have a weight capacity of 6000 pounds while the # TGMRTT35S have a weight capacity of 8000 pounds.

More than likely you will only need the one with the 6000-pound capacity as the higher capacity one is for trucks that are reaching their payload capacity on a daily basis. Though you're hauling dump trailers every day, that doesn't mean you're nearing your capacity.

Of course, if you're also hauling a lot of weight inside the bed while towing (thereby getting closer to that capacity), then you may want to consider the larger capacity Timbrens.

I've linked to a video installation of the lower capacity (since those are likely the ones you need).
