The best SumoSprings for your 2018 Chevy 2500 are going to be the SumoSprings Rebel Custom Helper Springs item # SSR-203-47-2. These have a 5,000 lbs load leveling capacity and are compatible with in-bed hitches. This is a two piece system so when your Silverado is not loaded down from the weight of your 5th wheel trailer you won't notice them.

I have linked an installation video below to help you get these helper springs set up.

Gen-Y does offer a fifth wheel pin box to gooseneck coupler that can fit in place of the Lippert Turning Point pin box with the part #GY48GR. At this time they do not offer a pin box replacement (no gooseneck adapter) that can fit in place of the…

Answer 6

Yes, Lippert only approves of the Reese Goosebox so you would be voiding your frame warranty if you installed a Gen-Y gooseneck pin box. That being said, the warranty is typically only a year so it's not really a loss. Gen-Y offers the #GY48GR as…

I do have an option for you, but we do not carry the Dexter 072-027-00 you mentioned. However we do have the etrailer Double-Eye Spring for 7,000-lb Trailer Axles - 24-7/8" Long #e64SR which will be 3/8" shorter but that is still close…

From what I could find it looks like your 122R (red) and 122Y (amber) lights measure 3.75" x 1.70" x .81". We don't have any replacement lense directly for the GLO-BRITE lights but we do have some similar lights that you could use…

Hey Justin, for your 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500 the big difference between the SumoSprings Solo part #SSR-207-47 and the Rebel part #SSR-203-40-2 is the weight capacity of either. The Solo can provide up to an additional 1,500 lbs of support and the…
