Expert Answers about Chevrolet Silverado 2500


  • Do they Make Weight Distribution Systems for 2-1/2 Hitches?
  • Yes, they do. The Blue Ox Sway Pro item # BLU54TR and item # BXW2003 are a couple of our most popular weight distribution systems that include the 2-1/2" shank. If you already have a weight distribution system, or want to go with a different manufacturer, you can use the Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank item # EQ90-02-4900. The bolt patterns are standard so this will work with nearly all systems on the market. If you would like a more specific recommendation, feel free to email me directly...

  • Position of Demco HiJacker Auto Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch in a 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500 Short Bed
  • Demco does not provide measurements for rail placement for installation kit # DM8552011-71 for your 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500 but what they do say is that the hitch can be centered over the center of the rear axle up to 3 inches forward. On a short bed truck you will want it as far back as you can so centered over the axle is a good place for the hitch. Now, from the center of the hitch forward on the truck to the front of the rail will be approximately 14 inches. So you would measure...

  • How to Select 5th Wheel Hitch with Height Range Compatible with 5th Wheel Trailer
  • The dealership from which you will purchase your trailer ought to be able to give you the height of the king pin when the trailer is level, as it needs to be for best handling when towed.

You can check by measuring. Note the distance from the center of the ball to the cab. From this subtract half of the trailer's...
