Expert Answers about GMC Sierra 1500


  • Husky Center Line Weight Distribution Recommendation for 2018 Jayco Jay Flight 242BHSW
  • The best way to pick out a weight distribution system is to base it off of the loaded tongue weight of the setup when it is loaded and ready to tow. This figure also includes the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. I attached a help article on determining tongue weight for you to check out as well. You will want the loaded tongue weight of your setup to fall right in the middle of the tongue weight range of the system you use. Typically tongue weight is 10-15...

  • Best Springs to Eliminate Sag and a Bumpy Ride on a 2019 GMC Sierra 1500
  • It sounds like you're needing to get rid of some sag and bumps in your 2019 GMC Sierra 1500. While we don't have coil-over springs for your vehicle's rear axle, we do have some great suspension enhancement. I recommend the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs with Internal Jounce Bumpers, part # AL88288. These air bags can be inflated to eliminate the sag and deflated when you aren't loaded up. It's a hybrid system, so the jounce springs built in help to improve ride comfort,...

  • Will the TorkLift SuperTruss Hitch Extension Work On a GMC Sierra/Chevy Silverado 1500
  • I do have an option for you but the TorkLift SuperTruss Hitch Extension isn't an option for a GMC Sierra/Chevy Silverado 1500 since they don't offer a trailer hitch for this vehicle needed to use this extension. The longest extension we offer is 18", the Curt Extender for 2" Receivers part # C45796. If you're using a weight distribution system we offer the Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank part # EQ90-02-4600. I couldn't say for sure whether either option will allow you to tow with the tailgate...

  • Can 7-Way Connector Power A 2500lb Winch?
  • I have another option for you, but the 12v power circuit of the 7-way connector on your 2018 GMC Sierra 1500 does not have enough power output to power your 2500lb winch as it is designed for powering lights in a trailer, or maintain a battery on a trailer. To power the winch you would want to use the Bulldog Winch Rear Wiring Kit - Quick Connect to Terminal End - 2 Gauge - 24' Long # BDW20207 which uses 2-gauge wire capable of sending enough power to the which. This kit will connect directly...

  • Best Suspension Support Option for Towing with a Lifted 2018 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali with MagneRide
  • The best option I have for a 2018 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali with MagneRide and aftermarket lift installed is the RoadActive Suspension (RAS) Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit part # RAS2611. The RAS Kit is actually designed specially for Denali models with MagneRide and it installs on top of the leaf springs therefore unaffected by the lift so you know you won't have any issues with compatibility. The RAS Kit will do a far better job of helping to reduce sag while towing than a set of upgraded...

  • Solution for Needing Replacement GM Tonneau Cover Tarp for 2015 GMC Sierra 1500 5.5 ft Bed
  • We don't have a replacement tarp for what you have but we can help you with an entire replacement tonneau like the BAK Revolver X2 # BAK39120 which is a confirmed fit for your 2015 GMC Sierra 1500 5-1/2 foot bed. GM can probably get you the part you'll need but it's most likely going to cost more than just replacing the entire thing with the BAK.

  • Tow Mirror Recommendations for 2018 GMC Sierra 1500
  • For your 2018 GMC Sierra 1500 we have three replacement style tow mirror options that would work great.

We have the electric set part # KS62147-48G which has power adjusment and heat, and then we have the part # KS62135-36G which in addition has LED turn signals built into the mirrors.

  • Recommended AeroBlade Roof Rack for 2018 GMC Sierra 1500 with Pace Edwards Tonneau Cover
  • It sounds like your 2018 GMC Sierra 1500 is equipped with a Pace Edwards tonneau cover that features the Explorer Rails like the JackRabbit # 311-JEC8569. To add a set of aero crossbars to the rails you will need the Thule Fit Kit # THKIT3101 and the Thule Podium Feet part # TH460R that will accommodate their WingBar Load Bars. For the bars I recommend the 60 inch set part # TH711520 in Black or # TH711500 in Silver. These components will work perfectly with the channels on your tonneau...

  • Can Monitor Be Replaced for Furrion FOD43TA-BL Camera System
  • The Furrion FOD43TA-BL you have now is an older model of Furrion's current line of camera systems. Unfortunately there is no longer a replacement monitor available that is compatible with this system. We've actually contacted Furrion more than once about this and they have verified that the only solution when this comes up with the older models is a brand new setup. I realize this isn't what you were hoping to hear, but it's really the only option at this point. For a new system I highly...

  • Ladder Rack that Can Fit 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 AT4 with Folding Tonneau
  • As long as the tonneau cover mounts between the bed rails you could use an Adarac Pro Series ladder rack as it attaches to the top of the bed rails and allows a tonneau to fit at same time. If you had a 6-1/2 foot bed you would wan the part # A45DJ or if you had a 5-3/4 foot bed # A76WG for your 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 AT4.

  • Best 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Turning Clearance for a 2015 GMC Sierra 1500 Short Bed
  • There are a couple of ways you can get increased clearance between the truck cab and the 5th wheel trailer when making tight turns. In your picture it doesn't look like you have a hitch yet so the most cost effective solution is going to be a sliding 5th wheel hitch. I recommend a Demco HiJacker auto-sliding hitch. That way you don't have to get in and out of the truck to operate the sliding mechanism. I assume that your 2015 GMC Sierra 1500 is a short bed but it is the really short 5-1/2...

Air Lift is actually another popular air bag kit manufacturer and they have part # AL57204 if you have a short bed or part # AL57211 if you have the 8' long bed. These install in the same location as the Firestone kit, have a weight rating of 5,000 lbs, and do not require drilling in the frame unless you have a 5th wheel or gooseneck...
