Question:
Saw this reply on the E-Trailer website. "I have a 2015 Silverado 2500 that I have added rear air bags to. Does the BandW 5th wheel hitch install brackets interfere with the ubolts on the airbags? How about goose neck hitch? asked by: John G // Expert Reply: Bud M The U-Bolts used on the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs # AL88338 will allow you to install the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNRK1012 on your 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 2500. The U-bolts are wide enough to fit around the frame with the mounting plate for the Turnoverball hitch. I have included an image below showing them both mounted together." I have a 2016 Silverado 3500HD with a B&W GNRK1016 TurnoverBall Hitch installed. I move a 12K lbs camper a few times a year within MT. I had similar questions on my mind. The B&W has mount plates are on the outside of the truck frame and, that long Latch Pin Handle above the driver's side plate. Will the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs # AL88338 kit, particularly the U-bolts work on my truck?

Expert Reply:
You are correct the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNRK1016 is going to be different than the kit which fit the 2015 models. Air Lift updated their LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs # AL88338 to also be able to be installed without the U-bolts. There is an additional hole on the mounting bracket which allows you to drill into the frame and install a self tapping bolt. So you will be able to use both on your 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD.
