Expert Answers about GMC Sierra 2500

• Comparing Demco Hijacker and PullRite Auto Slide 5th Wheel Hitches for a 2018 GMC Sierra 2500
• I can't really speak to PullRite too much as this is not a brand we carry but what we do offer is the Demco Hijacker 5th Wheel Hitch part # DM8550035 which has an automatic slide. The unique thing about the Hijacker is the jaw design and if you know anything about fifth wheel hitches, you know this is the most important part. The Hijacker has a wrap-around style jaw which offers full 360 degrees of contact with an additional slide bar for security behind this which makes for an unbreakable,...

• Comparing B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit BWGNXA2061 with PullRite 4437 Gooseneck Ball
• I have no experience with the PullRite 4437 Gooseneck ball as we do not carry that product. I can say that the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit # BWGNXA2061 has a nice snug fit as we have tested this product in our shop. I have linked a great video below that shows how the snug the gooseneck ball fits in the factory hitch. I also prefer the handle that B&W uses as you will not be grabbing onto a grease covered ball to remove and install in your truck.

• Demco Hijacker AutoSlide 5th Wheel Hitch # DM8550022 Comparison To PullRite 2700 5th Wheel Hitch
• The Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider # DM8550022 and the Pullrite 2700 are very similar hitches. Both hitches will automatically slide back, up to 14", as you turn to give you the capability to make 90 degree turns with your 2015 GMC Sierra 2500 6.5' bed. They both feature similar designs and require capture plates to lock the king pin in place in the hitch. As for the differences, the Demco has an adjustable height of 15-1/2 - 18-1/4" tall while the Pullrite...

• Selecting The Correct RoadActive Suspension System For a 2024 GMC Sierra 2500
• First you will need to determine if you have an upper or lower overload spring on the leaf springs for your 2024 GMC Sierra 2500. If you have a top overload spring you will need the Kit # RAS3611-CHD. Otherwise we have the 2,000LB # RAS3611 or 3,000LB # RAS3611-HD for trucks with lower overload springs. For selecting the correct weight rating I recommend using the 2,000lb kit for occasional loads and the 3,000lb kit if your truck constantly carries heavy weights.

• Comparing Timbrens and Air Bags for a 2014 GMC Sierra 2500
• The two most popular suspension enhancement options for a 2014 GMC Sierra 2500 are the Timbren Springs part # TGMRCK25D and Firestone Air Bags part # F2613. I recommend the air bags as they are adjustable so you can always get the perfect level of comfort and support. The air bags will also get you closer to level when compared to the springs above. The benefit of the Timbrens is that they are easier to install and don't require any adjustments. If you do go with the air bags, you can...

• Comparing Curt A16 Round Tube and Reese Square Tube Sliding 5th Wheel Hitches
• Slider hitches with round tubes, like the Curt A16 Slider # C16521, are generally preferred to units like the Reese # RP30051 which uses square tubes that tend to have more issues with binding. The A16 also offers 2 more inches of slider travel which gives you more turning clearance. Add in the sturdier jaws and the lower price of the Curt and it is an easy recommendation. Please check out the linked install video.

• Differences Between the RoadActive Suspension Systems For a 2022 GMC Sierra 2500
• There are currently 3 kits available for your 2022 GMC Sierra 2500. The correct kit will depend on the leaf springs under your Sierra and the amount of sag you are experiencing. Do note that none of these systems will increase your payload or towing capacity. They will only provide assistance to your factory suspension giving you a more level and safe ride. The first kit is the RAS System # RAS3611. This system is rated for a capacity of 2,000lbs and works best with trucks that squat...

• Availability of Alternative Autosliding 5th Wheel Hitch to the PullRite SuperGlide
• I do have a solution for you, but unfortunately we do not carry the PullRite SuperGlide 5th wheel hitches. We do offer the Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th wheel hitches that actually have some additional features at a lower price point that I recommend looking into. The Hijacker Autoslide comes in 2 different weight capacities, 18K # DM8550034 and 21K # DM8550035. These come in different variants to accommodate if you have above bed rails, like the parts mentioned above, or if you have the...

• Differences Between Curt A20 and Q20 5th Wheel Hitch
• Both the Curt # C57FR Q20 and # C84FR A20 are compatible with the pucks in the bed of your 2021 GMC Sierra 2500 long bed. There are a few important differences. The A20 uses an interlocking jaw that holds the king pin tightly all around its 360º circumference. The Q20 uses a 2 piece jaw that doesn't interlock, so it doesn't hold the king pin quite as tightly as the A20 does. This means that the king pin won't move around in the jaws which provides a smoother ride. The A20 uses a torsion...

• Recommended RoadActive Suspension Kit For A 2022 GMC Sierra 2500 With An In Bed Camper
• Though it will ultimately depend on how much your camper weighs and how much sag you experience, there are a few differences between the 3 options available for your truck. First is the # RAS3611. This will have a 2,000 pound weight capacity and will be used in mild to moderate cases of sagging. With you having a Sierra 2500, I assume you will have a pretty heavy camper in the bed, so this may not be the best option. With that said, we come to the # RAS3611-HD and # RAS3611-CHD. These...

• Primarily the difference of Curt A25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch, # C16180 and the Curt Q25 variant, # C16265 is the design of the hitch head. The A25 is the newer design and superior to the Q25 due to its interlocking jaw system. This design grips the 5th wheel's kingpin so tightly there is very minimal movement within the connecting point. Each option will install into your 2022 GMC Sierra 2500 with 8' bed and OEM Prep Pkg. using the Adapter Rails for Curt 5th Wheel Hitch - Towing Prep...

• Comparing The BAKFlip F1 And BAKFlip MX4 For The 2020 GMC Sierra 2500 With 6-3/4 Bed
• The BAKFlip F1 Hard Tonneau Cover - Folding - Aluminum and Fiberglass # BAK772133 and BAKFlip MX4 Hard Tonneau Cover - Folding - Aluminum - Matte Finish # BAK448133 are very similar but there are a few minor differences. The F1 has a rough texture that tends to hold up better against various conditions and does not get easily scratched or dented. The MX4 has a smoother appearance and texture and does not have a rough look or feel to it. I think the F1 looks better and it holds up better...

The # RAS3611-HD is designed for vehicles without top overload springs and the # RAS3611-CHD is for vehicles with factory top overload springs. I would choose the heavy duty version for your 2024 Sierra 2500. The RAS is adjustable with the standard model having 2 adjustment...
