Hey Jake, thanks for reaching out!

You'll actually want to keep the OEM hitch on your 2005 GMC Sierra 2500 to install some TorkLift tie-downs as there aren't any TorkLift tie-downs that fit with the SuperHitch Original # TLC1204.

For your OEM hitch you can use the Standard # TL86FV or Aluminum # TL97VV.

Are you needing the dual receiver from the SuperHitch Original for accessories behind your truck?

Yes I’m wanting to run the torq lift 21” extension with the supertruss. I have camper mounts on my truck now with the original hitch would those still work? Or would I need to change them to fit the supertruss set up? Thanks

@Jake I'm honestly not sure. I'll send you a PDF file of the SuperHitch Original for you to compare to your current tie-down points. I would just tell you to reference the instructions on this page, but TorkLift likes to hide their installation instructions (for whatever reason) so I'll have to send it in a separate email.

Since the pin weight of your camper is 2.1k, I recommend going with the LoadLifter 5000 opposed to the 7500. While technically there is not reason you couldn't use the 7500 kit, it really is not necessary for a camper like yours. Generally the…

Hello Jeff, Sounds like you’ve got a big camper (about 4,000 lbs) on your 2024 F-350 dually, and when it’s loaded, the truck feels bouncy and sways a bit. That’s pretty common with heavy campers, especially if the suspension is still stock.…
