I do have a rear suspension enhancement option for you but the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs part # F2430 will not work with the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch part # BWGNRK1057 installed on your 2017 GMC Sierra 1500 as the u-bolts for the mounting brackets of the gooseneck hitch interfere with the upper mounting brackets of the airbag kit. Unfortunately we do not have an airbag kit designed to work with this hitch on your vehicle at this time.

For a similar set of suspension enhancemnets, I recommend using the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System part # TGMRCK15S. Similar to the Firestone airbags, these springs will provide additional support as needed so you always have a smooth, comfortable ride. They will also help to improve suspension, handling, and safety.

The Timbren's will work well with the B&W gooseneck hitch and as long as your don't have the XFE model then will also work well with your truck. I have attached a photo of what they will look like installed on your vehicle for you.
