Expert Answers about Chevrolet Silverado 2500


  • Do I Need Spacers to Install a Air Bag Kit on a 2019 Chevy Silverado 2500 w/ a 5" lift?
  • You will definitely need a couple of spacers to add the Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Air Helper Springs item # AL57538. Most if not all 5" lifts on Chevy trucks are not 5" in the rear because of the rake Silverado's come with from the factory. You most likely need a 3" spacer like item # F2367. The easiest way to tell what size spacer you need is to measure your lifting block. Here are the options for 2" and 4" spacers if your lift is not 3" in the rear. 2" Spacer item # AL52420 4" Spacer...

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Rail Kit for a 2023 Chevy Silverado 2500
  • Yes, you can definitely install a 5th wheel hitch without the factory puck system. It looks like back in 2020 you bought the Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch item # DM8550034 from us. To install it in a 2023 Chevy Silverado 2500 that doesn't have a puck system you will need the Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Installation Kit w/ Base Rails item # RP84FR. This is a custom fit kit that installs in existing holes in your trucks frame. If you're using a different 5th wheel hitch...

  • Position of Demco HiJacker Auto Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch in a 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500 Short Bed
  • Demco does not provide measurements for rail placement for installation kit # DM8552011-71 for your 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500 but what they do say is that the hitch can be centered over the center of the rear axle up to 3 inches forward. On a short bed truck you will want it as far back as you can so centered over the axle is a good place for the hitch. Now, from the center of the hitch forward on the truck to the front of the rail will be approximately 14 inches. So you would measure...

  • How High Does Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for 2020 Chevy Silverado Raise 5th Wheel Hitch
  • That's a good question, and when using the Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Chevy/GMC OEM 5th Wheel Towing Prep Package # DM6333 in your 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500 with the factory puck system, the hitch will gain approximately 2 inches in height. So, for example, if you have the Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - 18,000 lbs # DM8550034 or 21,000 lbs # DM8550035 and are using this adapter, instead of a hitch height adjustable between 15-1/4 inches and 18 inches, the height...

  • Are Monitors for Truck Bed Cameras Measured Lengthwise or Diagonally
  • Monitors for truck bed or back up cameras are measured diagonally, like computer monitors and television screens. For instance, for a 2019 Chevy Silverado 2500, if you were interested in a truck bed camera, you'd choose # 3460010 for a 8 inch monitor or # 3460011 for a 7 inch monitor. These cameras are intended for vehicles with an existing reverse camera. Either system includes a switch that will let you toggle between the back up and the truck bed camera. If your Silverado 2500 does...

  • Mounting Bracket Bolt Pattern of the Fulton F2 Trailer Jack

What that means is that you could install this jack on either trailer frame with either a 3 inch tall frame or a 4 inch tall frame if you were using U-bolts. You may also be interested in purchasing a Weld-On Mounting Bracket and Hardware # F500320 if...

  • The 35 inch length of the 35" Long Safety Chain with Clevis Slip Hook, 5,400 lbs # 1483-535-04 that you referenced is from the end of the chain to the center of the hook on the other end.

  • Recommended Gen Y Executive Pin Box
  • Thanks for the picture! I just spoke with my rep at Lippert and your 5th wheel trailer has a 1621 pin box with a 15,500 lbs capacity. The best air ride type option for your 5th wheel is going to be the Curt Flex Air 5th Wheel Pin Box item # LC328492. The Curt has a 18,000 lbs capacity and is going to be the best option to smooth out your ride. The Flex Air uses an internal air bag and strut that work with a rubberized pivoting head to absorb road shock and reduce chucking. The correct...

  • Weight Capacity of Westin PRO TRAXX 5 Inch Step Bars
  • Due to the varied materials that vehicles are currently being constructed of, the limiting factor when it comes to weight capacity are the vehicle's attachment points. Because of this, Westin no longer publishes weight ratings for their step bar products like the # 21-54135 PRO TRAXX step bars you'd looked at. Years ago when they did publish that information, the capacity was typically between 300 and 350 lbs for the bars themselves but as I stated the vehicle's construction could potentially...

  • Height of Sumo Spring # SSR-207-47 For 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500HD
  • The # SSR-207-47 SumoSpring is 5 inches tall. Usually, the underside of the spring would sit about 1-2 inches above the axle. For crew cab models, the extra weight of the cab would cause the rear to settle a bit more, with the bottom of the spring sitting just above or right on the axle.

  • Recommended Brake Controller for a 2023 Chevy Silverado 2500 w/ Factory Tow Package
  • To add a brake controller to your 2023 Chevy Silverado 2500, I recommend the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Brake Controller item # RED63RR. This brake controller has a unique installation method where you can mount the control knob on your dash or console and hide the main unit out of sight. The Tow-Pro Elite is a proportional brake controller that automatically adjusts your trailer's braking based on the deceleration of your Silverado. Since your Silverado has the tow package you will not need...

  • Vertical Clearance for RockyMounts SplitRail 3 Bike Platform Rack RKY11404-3 Above Hitch Tube
  • RockyMounts' SplitRail 3 Bike Platform Rack # RKY11404-3, when not loaded and with its ratcheting arms folded down, will extend up 9-1/2-inches above the top of the shank while in the carrying (down) position. So if you measure from the top of your receiver opening up 9-1/2-inches you can check to see if the tailgate will open without contact.

  • How Much Weight Can Be Supported by Extang Solid Fold 2.0 Tonneau Cover
  • The Extang covers do not have an actual weight carrying capacity since that is not the cover's intended purpose. However,it is strong enough that a person could briefly stand or sit on the closed cover. I confirmed this with my contact at Extang. Extang does offer a solid folding tonneau cover for your 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 with 6-1/2-foot bed and without the cargo management system, that is the Solid Fold 2.0 Hard Tonneau Cover # EX83450. This and all other tonneau cover options...
