The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Springs w/ Internal Bumpers # AL88338 are the air bags I recommend using for your 2011 GMC Sierra 2500HD with the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNRK1012. These air springs will come with 2 sets of hardware that can be used to attach the upper mounting bracket to your frame. The U-bolts are the most commonly used but will often not fit around your mounting brackets on the B&W Gooseneck. So they include the 3/8" self tapping screws to mount the bracket to the bottom of the frame rail. I have linked the instructions below that detail these parts.
I recommend using the Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System # AL74000EZ to control the air pressure in your air bags. This system features a wireless controller or you can also use your smartphone with the Air Lift app to control your air bags. It has a smart manifold that maintains the air pressure in your bags to within 3psi of your last setting while the truck is being operated. That will allow you to concentrate on the road and not have to worry about the air bags and their pressure.
