  • Front Hitch Recommendation for a 2014 Chevy Silverado 3500
  • For a similar front hitch that I can show you how far it will stick out in font of your bumper, which will let you see how easily it would be to pin, check out the Curt Front Hitch part # C31023. I attached a couple pics as well to show you what it will look like once installed. I also attached installation instructions and an install video. Most likely the Draw Tite Hitch # 65078 that you referenced would be pretty easy to pin as well, but since we have not had the chance to install...

  • Length of Lippert Trailair Air Ride 5th Wheel Pin Box LC158778
  • The Lippert Trailair Air Ride 5th Wheel Pin Box # LC158778 is intended to replace either of two specific OEM pin boxes, a Lippert 1621 or 1621HD, and measures 28-11/16-inches from the rear outside edge of the mounting plates to the center of king pin. You can see this in the linked photo and compare to your current pin box. This king pin includes an air spring and shock that will eliminate much of the chucking and road shock you feel now with your OEM pin box and not only will it cushion...

  • For the dimensions you need, the spacing of the opening between the arms of the # DM05593-97 is 2 inches. As far as the width of the holes, Demco unfortunately does not have the exact diameter. However, they did say that the holes were designed to use a 5/8mm bolt. I went ahead and attached a diagram that shows the measurement of the spacing you need.

  • Total Weight of Curt A30 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch C16070
  • I was able to find the weight for you of the Curt A30 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package # C16070, which is 145 lbs. The head unit is nearly 100 lbs with the legs making up the rest of the weight. And while it's heavy, there is a 1-pin removal system for the head unit to make it somewhat easier to remove the hitch from your truck bed, though a helper would likely be a good idea. I have added a link below to a video review for you to check out as well of the Curt...

  • Recommended Base Plate and Flat Towing Parts for a 2023 Chevy Silverado 3500
  • To add a base plate to your 2023 Chevy Silverado 3500, I recommend the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit item # BX1740. This base plate kit is custom fit and has removable tabs. When you are not flat towing your truck you will be able to remove your arms and have a clean looking front grill. For a compatible tow bar with the capacity to pull such a large truck you will need the Blue Ox Avail Non-Binding Tow Bar item # BX7420. This tow bar has a 10,000 lbs capacity.

  • Replacement Head Assembly for B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches
  • I think you mean the Companion Base item # BWRVB3700 and you can absolutely get a replacement head for it. You will want the Replacement Head Assembly for B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches item # BWRVC3006. I recommend verifying you have the base for the 2019 puck system. GM changed their pattern starting with the 2020 model year. The Companion bases for any GM trucks made after 2020 will not fit the 2019's and older. These two components together will give you the B&W Companion...

  • Dimensions of Ark Drop Down Corner RV Stabilizer Jacks
  • I have attached a few photos for you with all the dimensions we have for the Ark Drop Down Corner RV Stabilizer Jacks part # AR34FR. That said, Ark is an Australian company so the measurements are in metric, millimeter to be specific so you may need to do some converting. In order to convert from millimeter to inch, divide by 25.4. For example, 422mm is roughly 16-1/2".

  • Does the Bottom Side of the Cover of the # BAK39122 Install Below Bed Rails of a 2019 Silverado 3500
  • When considering the BAK Revolver X2 # BAK39122 for the 8-foot bed on your 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 3500, the underside of the cover does not extend below the bed rail brackets. This is because the there are rectangular spacers on the sides of the Revolver where the cover meets the brackets. With that being said, no point of the underside of the # BAK39122 extends below the bed rails of the truck. I went ahead and attached a video that shows these spacers at timestamp 3:38.

  • Best Brake Controller for a 2023 Chevy Silverado
  • I recommend the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Brake Controller for Tekonsha Harness item # RED63RR. This brake controller and harness will install inside your Silverado without cutting or splicing wires using the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter item # 3064-P. This set up fits all of the Chevy Silverado's that come with the factory tow package. I really like this brake controller because it has a unique installation method where you can mount the control knob on your dash or console and hide the...
