  • Parts Needed To Flat Tow a 2013 GMC Sierra 1500 With ReadyBrake Tow Bar/Brake System
  • The Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1674 will allow you to connect your ReadyBrake tow bar to your 2013 GMC Sierra 1500. You may need a adapter like the High-Low Adapter # RM-048-4 to help level your tow bars so they are not damaged by extreme angles. Most tow bar systems want to be within 3" of level to prevent damage to the tow bars.

  • What Ladder Can I Use to Access My Yakima LockNLoad # Y05048 on My 2008 GMC Yukon XL?
  • I have a solution for you. I reached out to Rhino-Rack, and they could not confirm for sure that the mounting brackets of the Folding Ladder for Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Racks - Aluminum # RRRAFL-RUFLB will be able to fit the channels on your Yakima LockNLoad # Y05048. With that information, the safest bet is to go with a telescoping ladder like the Thule Telescoping Ladder for Vans - 9 Steps - 8-1/2' # TH301404. The reason why it is better to go with the Thule Telescoping ladder over...

  • Which 5th Wheel Hitch for 2019 GMC Sierra 3500 Denali Towing Grand Design Solitude 321RL
  • You'll want to choose your 5th wheel hitch based off of the GVWR of the trailer you're towing, but I typically like going with something a bit higher rated to give you some wiggle room if you decide to get a larger trailer in the future. I recommend using the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package - Dual Jaw - 20K # BWRVK3770, which will fit in the OEM prep package on your 2019 GMC Sierra 3500 Denali. This hitch has a capacity of 20k so it's well...

  • 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Install Kit for 2015 GMC Sierra 2500 Short Bed
  • I wasn't able to find a Draw-Tite hitch 50258 so I don't have specific details on it. Although if it fits industry standard rails you won't have a problem finding rails to fit. Check out the picture I've attached to measure the hitch and see if it fits the standard rails. However, the Reese # RP30868 underbed kit only fits the Reese Elite Series fifth wheel hitches and other hitches that fit the Ford factory puck system. Instead if it fits the industry standard rails use part # RP50066-58...

  • Which D-Ring Can I Use on Factory Hitch of 2019 GMC Sierra 2500
  • Assuming that the safety chain loops have an opening greater than 1/2" in diameter, you could likely use something like the JR Products 1/2" Quick Link for Safety Chains # 37201345 to give yourself something larger to hook into. If your safety chain loops are smaller than that, let me know and I can see if there is another solution we can come up with. You can also provide a photo of the chain loops, which might be helpful in locating a solution.

  • Recommended Bolt Placement For RAS Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit On A 2020 GMC Sierra 2500
  • On most vehicles you will bolt it back to where it was initially when you received it (first hole) on the roller plate, when installing The RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit # RAS3611-HD onto your 2020 GMC Sierra 2500. The roller plate will need to be flush with the leaf spring and against the U-Bolt. After the RAS is installed you will want to test drive your vehicle and see if the ride is comfortable enough for you. If not you can adjust it to the next set of holes...

  • Air Helper Springs For A 2019 GMC Sierra 3500
  • The Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2613 will help your 2019 GMC Sierra 3500 when it comes to bouncing on bumpy roads.

  • Comparing The Firestone And Air Lift 7500 Air Bag Systems For A 2023 GMC Sierra 3500
  • Out of the two air bag kits that you mentioned I recommend the Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs # F2709 over the Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Air Helper Springs # AL57541 due to the construction of the air bags. The construction of the Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs # F2709 air bags and mounting plates are stronger, which will make them more durable and last longer. The Firestone kit uses a crimp-rolled seal to connect the bag...

  • Do I Need to Replace the Bearings When I Replace My Brakes
  • Wheel bearings are going to be hub and spindle specific and aren't going to effect which brakes you'll want to use. It sounds like you might have a 7k axle with 12" brakes on your trailer, so you can use the # AKEBRK-7R-SA (right) and # AKEBRK-7L-SA (left) which are a self adjusting brake assemblies and a great choice. These are sold as single assemblies and are side specific, so you'll need to order the brake for each side, or the complete set is available with part # AKEBRK-7-SA. You...

  • Does 2016 GMC Canyon Have Speed Limit When Flat Towing and Parts Needed
  • I took a look at the owner's manual for a 2016 GMC Canyon and there was no mention of a limit to the speed you can flat tow the vehicle so you will be fine simply following the rules of the road. There are a number of parts needed in order to flat tow your '16 Canyon, which I'll list for you: - Base Plate Kit: Demco Classic Base Plate Kit # DM9519319 (so long as your '16 Canyon dos NOT have adaptive cruise control) - Tow Bar: Demco Excali-Bar III Non-Binding Tow Bar # DM9511013 - Wiring...

  • Under-Bed 5th Wheel Mounting Rails for Curt Hitch 2015 GMC Sierra 3500
  • I'd be happy to help you with that. For the underbed rail system, you'd use the Reese # RP30868. The # RP30061 you'd looked at is for the previous generation truck, and wouldn't work on your 2015 Sierra 3500. The puck layout is the same as what Ford uses, so you can just choose a Curt 5th wheel hitch for the Ford puck system and it'll work great. I see that you'd looked at the Curt Q24 # C16245 which is a great choice. In order to fit the pucks provided by the Reese # RP30868 underbed...

  • Recommended Towing Mirrors for 2017 GMC Sierra 1500
  • There are several options when it comes to custom fit towing mirrors that will fit on a 2017 GMC Sierra 1500 and the slip on mirrors like the K-Source Snap & Zap Custom Towing Mirrors - Snap On - Driver and Passenger Side # KS80910 or the CIPA Custom Towing Mirrors # CM10950. When there are custom fit towing mirrors they will generally be slip on and I do recommend going that direction since they will fit much better and vibrate less, which ultimately means less distortion of the view behind...

  • Spacers Needed for Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 on Lifted 2006 GMC Sierra HD 2500
  • In order to use the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 # AL57275 with a lifted truck, you will need to use spacers that match the amount of height gained in the rear after installing your lift. For example, if your rear end raised 4" after the lift, you would need 4" spacers like the # AL52440 . You'll want to use the 2" spacers # AL52420 for 2" of lift. If you have a different amount of gain from the lift on your 2006 GMC Sierra 2500HD let me know and I can recommend a different spacer.

  • For flat towing the 2019 GMC 2500HD Denali Duramax 6.6L V8 diesel engine model Sierra you need to follow the prescribed towing procedures outlined in your Owner's Manual. Only four-wheel drive vehicles with a two-speed transfer case that has a Neutral and a 4-low setting can be towed four wheels down. The negative battery cable must be disconnected and not touch the terminals. Also use of a shield mounted in front of vehicle grille could restrict airflow and cause damage to the transmission.
