  • Is B&W Tow & Stow 5" or 7" Drop Ball Mount Needed for Truck with 22 Inch Receiver Height
  • The average trailer coupler height is in the neighborhood of 16-19 inches. What I'd recommend you do is put the various trailers you tow up on their jack so the frame is level to the ground, and measure their coupler height (see linked article). If none of them are lower than 15 inches, you can go with the 5 inch drop Tow & Stow, part # BWTS10037B. This will leave you about 1 inch taller than the level trailer coupler, but the rear of the truck will squat a little bit with the trailer hitched...

  • Weight Distribution System Needed for a Trailer with a Tongue Weight of 2,300 lbs.
  • If the loaded tongue weight (TW) of your trailer is around 2,300 lbs then any weight distribution (WD) system that is rated for a max of 1,200 lbs TW will not be strong enough to help out at all. Check your TW to ensure that it is 10-15% of the loaded weight of your trailer. If it isn't you need to move stuff around until you achieve the 10-15% area. If it is already 10-15% of the loaded weight of your trailer then the only WD system that we have that will help is the TorkLift SuperHitch...

  • Availability of Sensor Relocation Kit for Aries Bull Bar for 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 AT4
  • We don't have any sensor relocator kits to pair with the Aries Bull Bar with Removable Skid Plate # AA88PB for your 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 AT4 but your local GM dealer might be able to supply you with one. I know that dealers will sometimes carry those types of kits for the back ends of vehicles so I wouldn't be surprised if they had one for the front end of trucks as well.

  • Replacement Mounting Hardware And Frame Brackets For A 2015 GMC Sierra 1500
  • We do have a couple of options for you, however without knowing which base rails you have I can't make an accurate recommendation.

If you have B&W Rails, like # BWRVK2504, you can use # BWRVR2503 for replacement brackets and hardware. If you don't have either of these rails, let me know and I'd be happy to help you further.

  • It is possible to flat tow a 2016 GMC Sierra 1500 with a 4 inch lift kit behind your RV.
