Hi David,
The hitch weight for a 7,000 lb camper trailer is still going to be well within the range of 5,000 lb air bags, which is the only load capacity available for your 2015 Chevy Silverado 1500. For air bags the best option for your Silverado are the Air Lift, as those have the most durable hardware and roll plates on the top and bottom of the bags which gives them added protection. Just keep in mind the correct option for your '15 Silverado 1500 will depend on your bed size.
- Bed UNDER 8 Feet: Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL57204
- 8 Foot Bed: Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL57211
Finally, I do recommend considering a compressor to make monitoring and maintaining the air bags much easier. The best option to do so is a wireless compressor, the Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System for Air Helper Springs # AL74000EZ.
