Assuming you're talking about the length of your shank being 16" long, then no the length of your shank will not affect the capacity of your weight distribution system.
That being said, if you're looking for a complete system I recommend going with the Curt MV Weight Distribution System # C17050.
This weight distribution system has a maximum tongue weight capacity of up to 600lbs, with a maximum towing weight capacity of 6,000lbs, like you mention and they are round bars as well.

The correct base rails for your Thule TracRac SR system to move to a 2021 GMC Sierra with 5-1/2 foot bed are the Base Rails for Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Racks # TH21782; these are the base rails for the TracRac SR # TH43002XT-782 view full answer...
The closest available solution, and what I recommend is the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter, 4" Drop/Rise # RM-077-4. The distance between the hitch pin holes on the receivers is 6-1/4" and there are 4" between the top of the lower receiver and bottom of the top receiver. I've also linked photo with some dimensions that will allow you to determine if this will work for you, but it is the tallest dual hitch adapter I've seen that can be used for this purpose. view full answer...
For a 2021 GMC Sierra with the 5-3/4 inch bed, Curt doesn't offer a 5th wheel install bracket/rail kit that's compatible with your truck. This being said, you can use the Reese # RP56015-53 which is a confirmed fit, as long as your truck isn't equipped with the Adaptive Ride Control or the CarbonPro bed.
In order to gain the proper clearance between the front of the 5th wheel and the rear of the truck cab, you'll need to use a Sidewinder rotating pin box. The Sidewinder relocates the... view full answer...
The average trailer coupler height is in the neighborhood of 16-19 inches. What I'd recommend you do is put the various trailers you tow up on their jack so the frame is level to the ground, and measure their coupler height (see linked article). If none of them are lower than 15 inches, you can go with the 5 inch drop Tow & Stow, part # BWTS10037B. This will leave you about 1 inch taller than the level trailer coupler, but the rear of the truck will squat a little bit with the trailer hitched... view full answer...
The Parking Sensor Relocation Kit for Westin Grille Guard # 40-0015S that you mentioned is actually designed to work with the 2009 - 2018 Dodge Ram 1500, and will not work with your 2014 GMC Sierra 1500.
Instead, take a look at the:
-Stainless Steel Parking Sensor Relocation Kit for Westin Sportsman Grille Guard # 45-0000S.
This kit will work great with your 2014 GMC Sierra 1500, and includes everything you need for installation. view full answer...

Your Husky 15K-rated 5th wheel hitch will fit into any industry-standard base rails, including those from Husky, Reese, Curt, Pro Series and others.
The easiest installation will be with a custom-fit kit such as the Reese # RP50064-58. This custom kit requires no drilling into the truck's frame, unlike universal-fit types. This custom kit costs a bit more than the universal type but it will save you several hours on the installation. The written instructions are linked along with an installation... view full answer...

You'll have a very rough ride if you use the bars you currently have, so I'd definitely recommend going with lower rated spring bars.
It wouldn't be a bad idea to load up your travel trailer as it would normally be when you pull it and determine the actual tongue weight. I'll link you to an article that shows a couple of different ways of doing this, but the easiest way to do it would be to use a payload/tongue weight scale like the etrailer, part # e99044. I'll link to a video showing... view full answer...

I took a look at the owner's manual for a 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali and both it and the standard 1500 can be flat towed so long as it is a four-wheel drive with a two-speed transfer case, and according to page 236 of the manual, "To shift the transfer case, press the desired button" which seems pretty simple compared to some other vehicles!
There are a number of parts you are going to need in order to flat tow this truck, which I'll list for you:

I have a solution for you, but the Round Trailer License Plate Light with Mount Ears - Chrome Plated # LP71CB does not come in an LED light version. However, the LED Trailer License Plate Light Kit with Bracket - Submersible - 2 Diodes - Clear Lens # LPL12CKM2B is an LED license plate light that might work for your application.
I've also linked our entire selection of round LED license plate lights that you can have a look at too, in case there's something else that catches your eye. view full answer...
If you currently do not have the turn signal function in the mirrors on your 2014 GMC Sierra it is unlkely that the K-Source Custom Extendable Towing Mirrors # KS62135-36G will add that feature. It is possible the wiring is there already but I wouldn't count on it. view full answer...
The Curt TruTrack Weight Distribution (WD) System # C17500 is a popular system that does include 4 points of sway control; 1 at either of the trunnion bar heads and 1 at either bar where it sits on the bracket. Since there are 2 bars that gives you 4 points of sway control.
The TruTrack includes everything that you need for the WD system but since it does only have a max drop of 1/2" you need a different WD shank to accommodate the large rise you have. Out of the linked selection of Curt... view full answer...
I have a solution for you. Unfortunately, the TracRac SR # TH43002XT-782 that you currently have on your 2017 GMC Sierra 1500 (5-1/2 ft. bed). is not compatible with the 2022 GMC Sierra 2500 (6-3/4 ft. bed). Thule currently does not make a TracRac SR model for the 2022 GMC Sierra 2500.
