Expert Answers about Chevrolet Silverado 2500


  • Recommended Adjustable Cushioned Ball Mount for 2" Hitch on 2020 Chevy 2500HD
  • I have a solution for you, but the Curt Rebellion XD # C45949 is not compatible with weight distribution hitches. Instead, I recommend using the Gen-Y Ball Mount # 325-GH-1224, which has a 16000-lbs capacity and can give you up to 5" of drop to help ensure that your trailer is towed level. This ball mount also has a dual hitch ball (2" and 2-5/16") to allow you to tow both of your trailers, so it's a flexible option that will allow you to cover a lot of different setups. I've linked a...

  • Recommended Weight Distribution Hitch for 770-lbs Tongue Weight Trailer
  • You'll want to choose a weight distribution hitch where the tongue weight of your trailer falls towards the middle of the prescribed weight range of the hitch. I recommend using the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control - Round - 2-5/16" Hitch Ball - 10K GTW # FA94-00-1061 which has a 600-lbs to 1000-lbs range and offers you 2 point sway control. This system is rated for trailers up to 10,000-lbs, so it's a great fit and it comes with a shank included. I've linked a short...

  • Recommended Solution To Get 5 Lift on Trailer With 9000-lbs Axles
  • I may have a solution for you, but there's not going to be a simple way to accomplish this and at the end of the day, it may be more cost effective to simply try getting a new 5th wheel hitch that adjusts high enough to allow you to tow level. With that said, your best bet would be to start by elongating the spring hangers, which will require cutting the old ones off and replacing them with longer ones. You could likely use something like the Dexter Single-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit for...

  • Outboard 5th Wheel Hitch Bracket/Bed Rail Mounting Kit for 2021 Chevy Silverado 2500
  • Assuming you're wanting outboard brackets which are easier to install and the 5th wheel hitch you're wanting to use is compatible with industry standard bed mounting rails, youl'll want to use the Reese # RP84FR which includes the # RP57FR brackets you looked at plus the compatible, longer bed rails for the outboard frame brackets. All necessary mounting hardware is also included. Reese confirms that this bracket/rail kit is a fit for your 2021 Silverado 2500.

  • Is It Safe To Use Underrated Trailer Tires On A 2021 Forest River Impression?
  • Your tires aren't really underrated, remember that a portion (around 15 to 20% on a 5th wheel) of the trailer weight will be on the tow vehicle, so technically your tires aren't really under-rated. A lot of 5th wheels come with tires rated for trailer weight minus tongue weight from the factory. That being said it's still not a horrible idea to upgrade your tires, so what I'd recommend checking out is something like theKarrier ST235/85R16 Radial Trailer Tire # AM10501 which has a maximum...

  • Bracket/Rail Install Kit for Husky 5th Wheel Hitch on 2018 Chevy Silverado 2500
  • Although we don't offer a Husky 5th wheel install rail and bracket kit for your truck, we do offer a reasonably priced bracket/rail kit that would be compatible with your Husky 5th wheel hitch. I'd recommend you go with the Curt # C16411-204 Custom 5th Wheel Install Kit. The kit uses existing holes in the frame, so the only holes you'll need to drill are the ones down through the bed to attach the rails to the brackets which bolt to the frame. The kit provides industry standard 5th wheel...

  • How To Gain Clearance To Open Up Tailgate Using Equal-i-zer Hitch On A 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500
  • Though we have a close option, we will not have a 2-1/2 inch by14 inch minimum shank that will work with the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution # EQ37101ET. We will not offer a 14 inch shank for a 2-1/2 inch hitch. You will have to stick with your adapter and use the Curt Weight Distribution Shank # C17122. This shank measures 14 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the adjustment holes and will be compatible with the Equal-i-zer system. This shank will provide you...

  • Recommended Gooseneck to 5th Wheel Adapter for a 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 2500
  • If I'm understanding you right, it sounds like you have a Reese Gooseneck setup in your truck and you're trying to tow your brand new Rockwood 5th wheel. If that's what's going on, the dealer is correct you can't tow a 5th wheel with a gooseneck hitch without using an adapter. I recommend going with the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter # CAB-C5G. What this is going to do is bolt to your new 5th wheel's pin box and provide a receiving end for a standard gooseneck...

  • Recommended TST TPMS System for 30 Foot Trailer and 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD
  • If your 2019 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD Duramax already has a built in TPMS, I don't think you'd need to add the additional sensors to the TST TPMS for RVs - Color Display - Signal Booster - 4 Flow Through Tire Sensors # TST-507-FT-4-C, but I would definitely consider it. The great thing about adding sensors to this system and not using your vehicle's monitor, is that you can monitor everything on one monitor, as opposed to two. The TST system has an easy to read monitor that can be setup...

  • Recommend Weight Distribution Hitch For My 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 2500
  • When it comes to installing a weight distribution on your 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 when towing a 24 foot 10,000 pound car hauler I recommend The Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control - Trunnion - 12,000 pounds GTW, 1,200 pounds TW # FA92-00-1200. When it comes to using weight distribution you need to be as close as possible to your trailer weight to get the best ride. The Blue Ox Sway Pro # BXW2000 you were looking at would be overkill because it is meant for a trailer...

  • Recommended Way To Grease A Dexter Heavy-Duty Suspension Kit # K71-449-00
  • When greasing up your Dexter Heavy-Duty Suspension Kit # K71-449-00 either taking the weight off of the suspension or taking the weight off will work. For the Dexter Suspension Kit I would recommend using The LubriMatic Multi-Purpose Lithium Grease - 14 oz. Cartridge # L11315. It works best for lubricating rolling parts and it has a drop point of 350 degrees. I attached a review video link below.

  • The 4452 ISR Rail Adapter provides industry standard rails for your Pullrite 5th wheel hitch. We do not offer Pullrite but you do not need to buy a pullrite adapter you just need one that provides industry standard rails.

This adapter is rated for up to 21,000 lbs and connects with the towing prep package your new 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 has. I have linked an installation video...

  • Wedge Needed For B&W Patriot 5TH Wheel Hitch Pulling Grand Design 5TH Wheel W/ Turning Point Pin Box
  • Yes, you will need to use the Wedge Block # LC79UD for the Lippert Turning Point pin box on your Grand Design 5th wheel RV camper. This is a universal block that will fit into the funnel on the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # BWRVK3255 and prevent the pin box from pivoting on the king pin. Instead the pivot point will be back where the pin box mounts to the 5th wheel mounting plate. Do be sure remove the lock out bolts on the pin box before driving with the wedge installed.

  • You will need the Base # BWRVB3705 since you have the 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD. This base fits the older puck pattern used on the 2016-2019 Chevy/GMC trucks.

  • Best 5th Wheel Hitch for a 2014 Chevy Silverado 2500 w/ 6-1/2 Foot Bed
  • The best 5th wheel hitch for your 2014 Chevy Silverado 2500 with a 6-1/2 foot bed is going to be the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider item # BWRVK3270. B&W makes the best hitches in the towing business. The 3/4" thick jaw on the Patriot is precision machined to provide a tight, sturdy connection. And unlike slide-bar models, the rounded 2-piece jaw on this fifth-wheel trailer hitch inhibits rattle and movement by securely wrapping around your trailer's king pin, resulting in...
