  • Upgrading a Husky Center Line Weight Distribution System to Higher Tongue Weight and 2.5 inch Hitch
  • Your ideas are spot on! You can upgrade the spring bars with the part # HT32329 and you'd have a tongue weight range of 800 -1,200 lbs and then since all of the weight distribution system heads and shanks are made to the same specs you could use the Equal-i-zer shank part # EQ90-02-4900.

  • Does Go Power Solar Elite Charging System # 34282184 Provide Power for Lights,TV, Fridge etc.
  • The Go Power Solar Elite Charging System # 34282184 can provide up to 2,000 watts to typically a battery bank to charge them. So you wouldn't normally run your accessories directly from the panel and instead would from the batteries this kit keeps charged up. So what you could power with this setup would largely depend on the batteries you went with, but this kit will do a really great job keeping the batteries topped off so that you can use the accessories you mentioned as needed.

  • Is Lube Plate Needed When Using Pivoting Pin Box Like MorRyde Orbital Pin Box
  • You don't use lube plates with pivoting pin boxes like the MorRyde Orbital that you have. Since the hitch and the pin box move together and do not rub against each other when the vehicle makes a turn the hitch won't get the same type of wear that you are worried about. This is because the pin box pivots instead.

  • Can Offset Fifth Wheel to Gooseneck Adapters Be Used with Offset Gooseneck Hitch Balls
  • You cannot use an offset ball adapter # BWGNXA4085 with the Ranch Hitch Universal 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Coupler Adapter w/8" Offset # AM3139. Having multiple offsets ends up putting too much strain on the trailer and hitch. The better choice would be the offset ball adapter though as it moves the pivot point back which helps more with turning clearance than the offset of the Ranch Hitch which only pushes the trailer back from wherever it is pivoting from. The none-offset version of the...

  • Custom Fifth Wheel Rail Kit Recommendation for a 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500HD 6-1/2 ft Bed
  • For a custom fit fifth wheel rail kit confirmed as a fit for your 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500 with a 6-1/2 foot bed you would want the pat # RP56001-53 which is a confirmed fit. This is an outboard kit that will install even easier than most rail kits as the brackets mount to the outside of the frame. I attached an install video for you to check out as well. For a 7-way to install in the bed of your truck to make connecting your trailer lights easier you would want the part # 41157. Most...

  • Smallest Diameter Tire for 6-Lug Wheels
  • The smallest diameter wheel/tire we offer for the 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern is a 205/75-15 which measures 27.17" diameter fully inflated. If you deflate the tires you could then lose about an inch or so. Therefore, if you take the diameter of the tires you have now (235/85-16 = 31.7") and subtract from this the above figure minus an inch for inflation then you can see how much the trailer will lower. Keep in mind, you'll only see half of the difference between the above figures. For...

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch Compatible with 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 Short Bed OEM Pucks
  • The Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package - Dual Jaw - 16,000 lbs # C16520-16025 will fit the factory pucks of your 2019 Chevy Silverado 2500. If you have a rotating pin box like a Turning Point, then this will work very well. If you have a standard pin box, then I recommend using a sliding hitch with your short bed truck to give you the needed turning clearance. For that application I recommend the Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ R16 Roller for Chevy/GMC...

  • Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier Recommendation for Sun Dolphin Journey Kayaks on Chevy Silverado
  • Starting with the roof crossbar system for your 2016 Chevy Silverado Crew Cab I highly recommend the Rhino-Rack Vortex setup that consists of # RRVA150B-2 for the two 59" Vortex Crossbars in Black or # RRVA150S-2 for Silver, # RRRLKVA for Mounting Legs, and # DK415 for the Custom Fit Kit.

  • Could 2018 Chevy Silverado 2500HD Tow 8,800 lb Reflection Fifth Wheel
  • I looked up the towing capacity of your 2018 Chevy Silverado 2500HD and the lowest towing capacity it could have based on options is 13,000 lbs so a 8,800 lb 5th wheel trailer would easily be towable with your truck. Since your truck has a short bed you'd need a slider hitch so that you'd have enough turning clearance to make sharp turns without cab and trailer nose interference. The B and W Companion slider hitch part # BWRVK3400-5W is what I recommend for several reasons. This USA made...

  • Can the Non-Slider B&W Companion Hitch Be Used on a 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500 Short Bed
  • For a 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 2500, I recommend the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch part # BWRVK3710 or part # BWRVK3775 over the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C84FR. The reason for this is because the cam-action handle on the B&W Companion makes a world of difference when it comes to uncoupling the trailer on un-level ground. In order to determine if a sliding fifth wheel hitch is needed, you will have to do some measuring as clearances change for each truck/trailer. In short,...

  • Ladder Rack Options that Can Fit 2019 Chevy Silverado 2500 with Tool Box
  • If the tool box was a chest style that fit between the bed rails of the truck and did not go over the top of the bed rails like a crossover box yes, the Adarac Ladder Rack part # A70450 would fit and work well. If you had a crossover style where the top portion of the box did rest on top of the bed rails you'd need a different style that clamps around the bed rails like the Erickson part # EM07705 which you'd be able to mount behind the box. I attached a review video for this ladder rack...

  • Can 2020 Chevy Silverado with Curt Gooseneck Hitch Install Air Lift Air Bag Kit
  • Yes, the Air Lift suspension enhancement kit part # AL88341 is compatible with in-bed hitches like the Curt gooseneck you installed in the bed of your 2020 Chevy Silverado # C60642 so it would work really well and give you additional suspension support when towing a gooseneck trailer. For a compressor kit the heavy duty part # AL25854 will make inflating the bags and maintaining them very easy. The compressor will inflate faster than standard compressors and the gauge inside the vehicle...

  • New Truck Sits Too High for 5th Wheel Trailer To Sit Level
  • The issue you are having with the truck being to tall for the trailer causing it to sit nose high is very common with the latter model trucks nowadays. The best solution and really only feasible one would be to raise the trailer which can be done with an axle flip kit like part # K71-384-00 or part # K71-385-00. If the axle are already flipped then the best option is with the part # RR23QX.
