Recommended Air Bags and Standard 5th Wheel Hitch for a 2023 GMC Sierra 2500 w/ Factory Prep Package  

Question:

I have a 2023 GMC Sierra 2500 with the factory puck system. I am looking for a standard non sliding 5th wheel hitch and a set of compatible air bags. I know there are lots of hitches but do you have a set of air bags compatible with both?

Expert Reply:

Yes, we do have a set of air bags for your 2023 GMC Sierra 2500 with the factory towing prep package. They are the Air Lift LoadLifter 7500XL Air Helper Springs item # AL57541.

These air bags have a 7,500 lbs capacity to keep the rear end of your Silverado level. They are also compatible with all in bed hitch platforms like the factory one your GMC truck came with.

I have linked a picture below that shows these air bags installed on a Sierra 2500.

I recommend adding the Air Lift Load Controller Compressor System item # AL25856 to your Sierra. This onboard air compressor will allow you to adjust the PSI in your air bags individually to adjust for off center loads.

The B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch item # BWRVK3710 is compatible with the puck system on your 2023 Sierra. This 5th wheel hitch has a 20,000 lbs capacity. The dual locking jaws give you a 360-degree jaw to kingpin contact that provides a safe and more comfortable towing experience.

B&W also makes a 25,000 lbs capacity Companion hitch. It is item # BWRVK3715.

I have linked a picture below that will show you the Companion installed in the factory puck system.

The B&W Companion weighs over 150 lbs. If that's not something you're interested in moving by yourself and don't want to have to rely on someone to help you then I recommend purchasing the B&W 5th Wheel Lifting Device for Companion and Patriot Hitches item # BWRVXA3130. This heavy duty steel tool lets you lift your B&W 5th-wheel hitch from your truck bed with a hoist. The 5th-Wheel jaws clamp around the device for a secure grip.
