  • Does Weld-On 5/8 Inch Safety Chain Clip Have a Weight Rating
  • I reached out to the manufacturer, Buyers Products, who told me the Buyers Products Safety Chain Clip - 5/8" Diameter # 337SC58B does not have a weight rating because it is a weld-on application, meaning it will only be as strong as the welds. I have added a link to a video review of this clip for you to take a look at.

  • How Much Clearance Is Needed for the Valterra EZ Valve Double Electric Waste Valves
  • The Valterra EZ Valve Double Electric Waste Valves part # E84-8 can really be made to work on any trailer with some slight modifications. The valves can be reconfigured to orient in any direction and the main outlet can be rotated. Unfortunately, the manufacturer does not provide us with any detailed dimensional drawings but we've gathered some. The overall length is 12" but the main thing you need to account for is the height which is 11-1/2" with the valve closed and 15-1/4" while open....

  • Towing 19K Toy Hauler With 18K Rated 5th Wheel Hitch
  • According to my research, the 2007 Silverado 2500 Classic has a towing capacity that varies from about 10,100 to around 15,000 lbs depending on how the truck is equipped so you'll definitely be exceeding the towing capacity of the truck as well as that of an 18K capacity 5th wheel hitch. Does the 19K figure you stated for the weight of the toy hauler represent its GVWR or is that it's dry or weight? The dry weight would typically be quite a bit lower. I couldn't recommend towing in excess...

  • Curt 5th Wheel Hitch Options for 2007 Silverado Classic
  • Only the 3500-series of the 2007 Chevy trucks has a towing capacity up at the 20K+ range you need for a new trailer that weighs 18K dry. Towing capacities vary based on engine, rear axle ratio, cab style, bed length, etc. The online Chevrolet towing guide notes the maximum 5th wheel towing capacity for a 3500 HD with 6.6L Duramax as 23,000-lbs. You'll definitely want to confirm that your specific truck has the capacity (and some extra safety margin too) for towing a loaded trailer of...

  • The only 7-1/2' back drag we have is the Replacement Back Drag # 3371311211 which is for Western/SnowEx/Blizzard Snow Plows. You can try using this back drag if you'd like but you'll need to determine fitment on your end. I'm attaching dimensional photos for the mounting holes as well as a review video for you to check out.

  • Tow Capacity of 4x4 2007 Chevy Silverado Classic with 5.3L and Transmission Cooler Recommendation
  • You will want to first consult your vehicle owners manual but based on my research your truck has a standard towing capacity of 7,500 pounds and max towing capacity of 10,500 pounds. The max is usually either with the truck properly equipped or when using weight distribution. Your owners manual should be able to shed some light on this. Even with the truck properly equipped, and/or using weight distribution you will still be near the maximum of the truck. If a more capable truck is available...

  • Distance Between Mounting Holes of Draw-Tite Hitch DT45519
  • By mounting hole dimensions I assume you are asking about the distance between them, and that distance is 39 inches for the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT45519. That is the same distance between the mounting holes as the similar hitch from Curt which also has a 2-1/2 inch receiver and fits a 2007 Chevy, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C15703. I have added links below to the installation instructions of both hitches for you to check out.

  • What is Difference Between Pin Weight and Payload Capacity for 2007 Chevy Silverado
  • So payload capacity is different from the pin weight capacity of a fifth wheel trailer since payload is basically the weight capacity of the truck bed and the pin weight capacity is the capacity of the frame since the hitch doesn't use the bed as support and attached directly to the truck frame. So you are totally fine to tow your 7,500 lb trailer with your 2007 Chevy Silverado 1500.

  • Fit of Reese RP30035 Universal Fifth Wheel Hitch Install Kit on 2007 Chevy Silverado 1500 Classic
  • The Reese Universal 5th wheel install bracket/rail kit # RP30035 is a fit for the 2007 Silverado 1500 Classic. The # 30031 doesn't come up in our system as a valid part number.

  • Recommended Air Bags for a 2007 Chevy 2500 Diesel w/ a 3 Inch Lift
  • Yes, we do. For your 2007 Chevy 2500 Diesel with a 3" lift, I recommend the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Plus Air Springs w/ Internal Bumpers item # AL89275. This system has a 5,000 lbs load leveling capacity. The internal jounce bumper will give you extra support if you are running low air pressure in the bags. The exact size spacer you need will depend on just how much the suspension was lifted on your truck as not all 3" lifts are equal and a 3" lift does not necessarily mean...
