I have another option for you, but the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Spring # F53ZR is only confirmed to fit Ford Transit vans and will not fit your Avalanche.
As long as your 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche does not have the factory auto leveling system I recommend the Air Lift 1000 Air Helper Springs for Coil Springs - Rear # AL60769 which provides up to 1000lbs of load leveling support when towing a trailer or carrying a heavy payload.
For an on-board air compressor I recommend the Air Lift... view full answer...
The Andersen Ultimate Connection 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch System with Adapter - 20,000 lbs # AM3200 can work with any standard 5th wheel base rails. There is not a custom fit for your 2002 Chevy Avalanche, so you would need to use the universal base rails # RP30035.
You will want to pay attention to your maximum towing capacity and your payload capacity as you will be close to your vehicle limits with this combination prior to loading your trailer. Any hitch other than this lightweight... view full answer...
I recommend that you start off by checking your owner's manual to determine the tongue weight capacity of your 2007 Chevrolet Avalanche and the hitch receiver. Exceeding these capacities could damage the truck or cause the attachment points between the vehicle and the hitch to fail.
The longest standard 2 inch hitch receiver extension is our Hidden Hitch 18 Inch Extender, # HE18. You will also need to keep in mind that using an extender will reduce the tongue weight capacity of the vehicle... view full answer...
I took a look at the online version of the owner's manual for your 2008 Chevy Avalanche and it looks like with the 5.3L engine it has a towing capacity of 7,000 pounds for the 2WD model or 7,200 pounds for the 4WD model. I do recommend verifying this by checking your copy of the owner's manual as well.
When looking for a trailer you can safely pull the most important thing to look at is its GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating), which refers to the most it can weigh when fully loaded. A... view full answer...
The Westin # 25-3025 (etrailer # 25-0900) nerf bars will not fit a 2006 GMC Sierra 1500 HD Crew Cab.
If you need new nerf bars for your Sierra I would recommend the Westin # 21-1955 nerf bars in black just like the other ones you referred to. These are 4” wide and have a gloss finish. If you would like a different style just email me back. view full answer...

The Vehicle to Vehicle Taillight Converter, # 118158, will work for you. it will take the combined system you said is on your 2008 Chevrolet Avalanche and separate each signal to it's own circuit.
I have attached a link to a product demonstration video you can check out.
If you experience hyperflashing which can sometimes occur with LED lights requiring much less power, you may need to use Load Resistors like part # DI34ZR. These would need to be attached to the LED lights. view full answer...
Transmission coolers are not vehicle specific, but there are some that are recommended for your 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche. I recommend a cooler with a fan like part # D13750. This allows you the option to mount the cooler anywhere in the engine compartment you have room and will guarantee you always have airflow.
For the cooler with fan I recommend the Derale Premium In-Line Fan Control Thermostat, part # D35025. This in-line thermostat determines if additional cooling airflow is needed... view full answer...
If your 2004 Chevy Avalanche is not carrying cargo, then the curb weight is the weight you go by. If the curb weight is the 5678 lbs you stated, then the Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar - Motorhome Mount - 2" Hitch - 6,000 lbs # RM-520 will work fine. If however you were to have 322 lbs in your truck as accessories or cargo, then I recommend using a higher rated tow bar like the Roadmaster Sterling All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar - Motorhome Mount - 2" Hitch - 8K # RM-576 which comes with... view full answer...
It sounds like you need the thread forming screws that attach the dual-cam sway control brackets to the trailer frame. Is this is correct then you will need set # 58437 for 8 or # 58459 for 2. You also need the rivet nuts, # RP58507, for a set of 4. view full answer...
It sounds like your 2012 Chevy Avalanche Z71 has the factory fender flares. The Husky Liners Mud Flaps # HL56821 that you referenced are designed to fit this exact model of vehicle so they would work well for you. view full answer...
For a hitch mounted plow for the type of application you mentioned I really like the K2 # K2AVAL8219. It's 82 inches wide and 19 inches tall that uses a winch motor to raise and lower. It also comes with a wireless remote to make operation and install easy. view full answer...
In the 205/75-14 tire size you are considering there is a Load Range D tire, part # AM10235 that has a capacity of 2,040 lbs at 65 psi. Since this capacity is per tire you would have more than enough capacity since you will be using two of these tires. Total tire capacity would be 4,080 lbs.
For a rim you would want the part # AM20352 as this is a 14 inch rim with a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern. view full answer...
According to the owner's manual for your 2011 Chevrolet Avalanche, if you have the HD towing package and it is 2WD than your maximum towing capacity is 8,100 lbs but if you have the HD towing package and it is 4WD than your maximum towing capacity is 7,900 lbs. Regardless of if you have 2WD or 4WD, the gross combined weight rating (GCWR) which is the maximum weight allowed for the vehicle with cargo and a trailer is 14,000 lbs.
With that being said as long as your trailer and cargo are... view full answer...
I do have a solution for you, but the Curt Friction Sway Control # 17200 can not be used on single beam trailers or trailers with surge brakes. While you did not mention a weight distribution system, that is going to be the only way to get sway control on your trailer with out custom fabrication.
You will use a pole tongue adapter like the Pole-Tongue Adapter for Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Systems # EQ95-01-5950. This adapter attaches to your trailer's tongue and provides properly... view full answer...
I would be happy to go over a few options for a weight distribution system for towing a cargo trailer with your 2009 Chevrolet Avalanche.
Since you mentioned the load changes, I recommend finding the total tongue weight of the setup with the load you plan on carrying the most often. Total tongue weight is the tongue weight of your fully loaded and ready to tow trailer plus the weight of any cargo added behind the rear axle of your Avalanche. The easiest way to get an accurate tongue weight... view full answer...
When choosing a transmission cooler, the best practice is to go with the largest and most efficient cooler that will fit in the available space.
The ideal mounting location for a transmission cooler is directly behind the grille, in front of the a/c condenser and radiator. If the available space will accommodate the 11 by 12 inch by 7/8 inch thick size of the # D13504 you mentioned, the # D13504 would be your best choice.
I would also recommend the # D13035 Snap-In Radiator Adapter Fitting.... view full answer...
The best way to pick out a weight distribution system is to base it off of the loaded tongue weight of the setup when it is loaded and ready to tow. This figure also includes the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. I attached a help article on determining tongue weight for you to check out as well. You will want the loaded tongue weight of your setup to fall right in the middle of the tongue weight range of the system you use.
With your dry tongue weight being... view full answer...
The best solution we have would be the Curt Front hitch part # C31012 as we've installed it on a 2008 GMC Yukon which has the similar style of front bumper to your Avalanche and we didn't have to cut into the front bumper like what you see in the install video I attached below. Also check out the install pictures too.
This hangs a couple inches lower than the Draw Tite too so it's the better choice. view full answer...
Before we choose a weight distribution system, we will want to make sure your 2008 Chevrolet Avalanche can handle the tongue weight of your trailer. You mentioned that your tongue weight capacity was 600 lbs. Many times trailer hitches will have two weight capacities listed, a weight carrying capacity and a weight distribution capacity. The weight distribution capacity is often higher than the weight carrying capacity, but a weight distribution system must be used. I recommend checking... view full answer...
