The difference is the application. The Curt # C16025 legs fit the factory GM pucks from model year 2061-2019. For the 2020+ model year, GM decided to change the layout of their factory pucks which required a design change for the legs. The Curt 16029 which we refer to as part # CU53FR fits the 2020 and onward GM puck system. view full answer...
The SumoSprings Rebel Custom Helper Springs are only rated to -25 degrees Fahrenheit so if you'll be using the truck in temperatures below this then you may have to consider other options like the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System. The SumoSprings could become brittle in temperatures below -25 degrees Fahrenheit so if this is a concern I recommend the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System which can handle much lower though an official rating is not provided.

There is no difference between the B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # BWRVK3400-5W and part # BWRVK3400, they are the exact same hitch but we use slightly different numbers for fit guide purposes. They will both work great with the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch part # BWGNRK1020. view full answer...
The Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider # DM79GV on our site is the exact same thing as the Demco part 8550061 you're referencing and it will fit the puck system on your 2021 Chevy Silverado 2500 short bed perfectly.
Since we carry a wide variety of vendors we have to mix up the part numbers so that they are all unique since different companies will sometimes have the same part numbers. view full answer...
The differences between the Timbren Jounce Springs for your 2021 Chevy Silverado 2500 are listed below:
8,000 lb. capacity
Front- Timbren Front Suspension Enhancement System # TGMFK25D (standard duty)
Rear- Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TGMRTT35D (This 8,000 lb. rear set is a Severe Service kit and should only be used on vehicles with a slide-in camper, salt spreader, or those with a mounted crane or other aerial device, such as on a tow truck.) If that is not what you... view full answer...
For your 2018 Chevy Silverado 2500 I would go with the RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit - Heavy Duty item # RAS3611-HD over Sumo Springs. The RAS system has a 3,000 lbs weight capacity that will level out your rear end. The best part about the RAS system is that it can be disengaged when you're not towing, allowing your leaf springs to perform as intended. Sumo Springs do not have this feature and can often times provide a stiff ride when you are not towing. view full answer...
The Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Installation Kit w/ Base Rails # RP84FR contains the Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Brackets # RP57FR and Rail Kit # RP30153. The mounting brackets are multiple pieces and do not require drilling to install on your 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD. Do note that certain trucks have threaded inserts in the frame you will need additional hardware from your local Chevrolet dealer(See install instructions below).

The B&W Companion Sliding 5th wheel hitch # BWRVK3400-5W used in your Silverado 2500's gooseneck hitch # BWGNRK1016-5W will give superior performance compared to any of the available adapters for towing a 5th wheel with a gooseneck hitch.
Adapters such as Convert-A-Ball # CAB-C5GX1216 and Ranch # AM3139, shown on the linked page along with similar items, do cost a lot less but they can't give you the same stability as the Companion since they add an additional connection point to the... view full answer...
The only difference between the:
-TeraPump Ethanol Transfer Pump # TE27VR
&
-TeraPump Ethanol Transfer Pump with Meter # TE39VR,
is that # TE39VR has an integrated meter that measures the amount of liquid needed to transfer, and # TE27VR plugs into a 110V outlet for power, while # TE39VR uses 2 AAA batteries # DU98QR for power. view full answer...
The difference between the TeraPump Fuel Transfer Pump # TE84VR and # TE24VR is that the # TE24VR has a rechargeable battery that allows you to use the pump when electricity is not available.
The TeraPump Fuel Transfer Pump # TE84VR would need to be plugged in to work.
The TeraPump Fuel Transfer Pump # TE24VR can be plugged in to work or be ran on the battery and then plugged back in to recharge. view full answer...
Both of the Hopkins wiring adapters you referenced, parts # HM47083 and # 47549, will plug into a vehicle side 7-way socket and convert that connector format to a 6-way round-pin type. The main difference is that part # HM47083 includes a coiled cable that is 3-feet long when stretched fully while the # 47549 is just the adapter portion without the extension cable.
Another difference is pin configuration. Usually 6-way connectors use the center pin for the trailer's 12V power feed. This... view full answer...
The biggest difference between manual landing gear like Stromberg Carlson Manual Landing Gear # LG-183708 and electric landing gear like Ultra-Fab Deluxe Electric Landing Gear Set # UF17-943010 is convenience, and that would easily be the biggest pro in terms of electric landing gear and the cranking you would have to do is, of course, the largest con to manual landing gear.
The only other factor that could be considered a pro or con is the price; in general electric landing gear is going... view full answer...
The Curt Double Lock # C607-604 and EZr Double Lock # C611-624 for your 2019 Chevy Silverado 2500 are essentially the same gooseneck hitch. The only differences are that the Double Lock has a pin weight rating of 7,500 lbs while the EZr has a pin weight rating of 6,000 lbs and the EZr comes with a center locator to make drilling the gooseneck hole in your bed much easier.
Both are rated for towing up to 30,000 lbs, have spring-loaded safety chain loops, the ability to store the hitch ball... view full answer...
The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs # AL88338 are going to be far superior to the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TGMRCK25D for your 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 crew cab short bed. I personally only ever recommend the Timbren option to those who are always hauling heavy loads and want maintenance free. This is due to the springs being very stiff and when you drive without a load it makes the ride very firm.
If you prefer a maintenance free option the... view full answer...
The two trailer hitch receivers that fit the 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500 and Sierra 2500 without a factory hitch are the same but for the differences you mentioned, the receiver size and capacities.
- 2 Inch Receiver: Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C36CR
- 2-1/2 Inch Receiver: Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C96CR
Apart from that they are the same hitch with the installation for both being exactly the same, bolting onto the frame of your truck with no drilling needed.

The only difference between the Curt Q24 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C37FR and the Curt Q25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C97FR is indeed the 1,000 lbs. weight capacity difference. Both of these hitches actually use the same legs and will drop into the factory puck system you have in your Silverado. The 1,000 lb. difference comes from the Q24 having head rated for less than the Q25. But both heads have the same convenient features like the interlocking dual jaw system and indicator system which... view full answer...
The RoadActive Suspension won't have as much of an impact on your unloaded ride quality as it will when towing the trailer, especially on a brand new truck with a new suspension system. However, it will make a difference, more so as your suspension wears out over time. It will also help prevent that wear, extending the life of those components and your tires.
I would choose the HD # RAS3611-HD over the standard # RAS3611. The HD at the lowest setting is the same as the standard at the... view full answer...
While you are correct that there are other autosliding 5th wheel hitch options out there, we currently (December of 2019) only carry the Demco Hijacker solution for a 2020 GMC Sierra 2500 with the factory prep package and this includes the Rail Adapter Kit # DM6333 along with either the 18K # DM8550034 or the 21K # DM8550035 Hijacker.
I know you mentioned the PullRite SuperGlide and while that is a viable option that does a great job, the Hijacker actually has more to offer. The Hijacker... view full answer...
The etrailer Motorcycle Carrier # e98873 and Ultra-Fab Dirt Bike Carrier # UF48-979033 do have very similar designs as they are both intended to carry a motorcycle up to 500lbs. The both will fit a 2" receiver and include a ramp for easier loading and unloading.
The etrailer Motorcycle Carrier # e98873 is the one I prefer as it has the outer tie down points, and the 40" diamond plate ramp. For me the longer, smooth ramp will make it easier to move the bike up and down the ramp. This carrier... view full answer...
I recommend the SuperSprings Custom Suspension Stabilizer and Sway Control Kit part # SSA13MXKT for a 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 which is rated at 3,000 lbs over part # SSA16MXKT which is rated for 1,650 lbs. The reason being, the heavier trailers; larger gooseneck, fifth wheel, and in-bed campers will see greater benefits from the higher capacity whereas smaller bumper pull trailer will see benefits from the lower capacity. view full answer...
