Expert Answers about Chevrolet Suburban


  • Gen-Y Shank for use with Weight Distribution System on 2015 Suburban LTZ with Max Trailer Package
  • The Gen-Y Torsion 2-Ball Mount # 325-GH-1224 would work for your application but I recommend the Gen-Y Torsion Weight Distribution Shank # 325-GH-1202. This is made specifically for use with a weight distribution system and would basically replace shank included with the WD system. It features a gross towing weight capacity of 16,000 lbs and is rated for tongue weight from 1,200 lbs to 1,700 lbs. Check out the video linked below for more details. When picking out a weight distribution...

  • Best Trailer for Carrying Up To Four Kayaks
  • The best trailer option we offer to carry four kayaks is the Malone MicroSport Trailer with J-Style Carriers for 4 Kayaks part # MPG462G2. This is the best option because it comes with the nicest carriers. The carriers are very easy to load the kayaks into and they are super simple to secure. They also have padding to protect the kayaks for scratches. If you only need to carry two kayaks, simply load them onto the outside carriers for the easiest install. You can remove the two not in use...

  • Can Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter # RM-077-8 be Used to Carry Scooter Carrier
  • The upper hitch opening of the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter # RM-077-8 that you referenced has a 400 lb tongue weight capacity. So as long as the weight of your scooter and carrier is less than 400 lbs together this would work for your needs. You should note that when using this adapter you end up cutting the tongue weight capacity of the hitch by 50 percent so you'd need to make sure that the hitch of your vehicle has twice the capacity needed for the weight of your scooter...

  • Do I Need To Adjust the Fastway e2 When Upgrading Spring Bars
  • If you were to upgrade to the 800 Lb Replacement Round Spring Bar part # FA94-02-0899 on your Fastway e2 Weight Distribution part # FA94-00-0600 then you would need to readjust the head tilt mechanism. There would likely be a different amount of tension needed on the spring bar so it would be best to readjust the system.

  • Harness Needed to Install Trailer Brake Controller on 2007 Chevy Suburban
  • If your 2007 Chevy Suburban is equipped with the factory 7-Way connector at the rear then all the needed brake controller wiring is already ran under the dash but there isn't a plug there. This means to install the Curt TriFlex Trailer Brake Controller # C24VV you will just need the Wiring Adapter # C51515. One end of the harness will plug right into the TriFlex and the 4 bare wires at the other end will need to be spliced to the 4 wires under the dash of your Suburban using butt connectors...

  • Weight Distribution or Suspension Enhancement For 2001 Chevrolet Suburban Towing a 26 Foot Trailer
  • I recommend to first check the gross towing weight (GTW) capacity and tongue weight (TW) capacity on your Class III hitch that is on your 2001 Chevrolet Suburban 1500. Most Class III hitches are rated for 6,000 lbs GTW and 600 lbs TW without weight distribution and 10,000 lbs GTW and 1,000 lbs TW with weight distribution. Some Class III can be listed as 3,500 GTW and 350 lbs TW capacities and not rated for use with weight distribution. A weight distribution system, like the Reese Weight...

  • Will Rhino-Rack Ski and Snowboard Carrier # RR576 Fit 2019 Chevy Suburban
  • The Rhino-Rack Ski and Snowboard Carrier # RR576 referenced in your question is designed to mount to most roof rack crossbars on the market. If your 2019 Chevy Suburban is equipped with a factory roof rack (with bars that run across the roof) then you are good to go and this carrier will work perfectly. Looking at pictures of the factory racks on the Suburban I don't foresee the need for any spacers unless your boards have uniquely tall bindings. This is a really nice carrier that features...

  • Should Weight Distribution be Used on a 7,000 Pound Trailer and 1988 Chevy Suburban
  • If it were 100 pounds tongue weight that would be a problem but I am sure you meant 1,000 pounds tongue weight. Weight distribution is a good idea if the trailer when loaded and ready to tow weighs more than 50 percent of the vehicles weight. With a 7,000 pound trailer you will certainly qualify so you would benefit from weight distribution. When choosing weight distribution you will need to go by the tongue weight of the trailer when loaded and ready to tow plus the weight of anything...

  • Difference Between Dexter 3,500 lb Trailer Axles, EZ Lube vs. non EZ Lube
  • Brake flanges on 3,500 lb axles are going to be the exact same between a Dexter axle and Lippert but sometimes the Al Ko options are different. I believe you are asking about the price difference between the Dexter 3,500 lb axles part # T3584F-8974 and # T3584F-EZ-8974 though which that comes down to the spindle style. The more expensive EZ lube spindle axle has a grease fitting on the end of it that allows you to easily pump grease into it whereas the other option does not and requires...

  • Twist In Replacement 7-Way Recommendation for a 2003 Chevy Suburban
  • Since your 2003 Chevy Suburban has the twist-in style of 7-way at the rear the correct 7-way you would need would be the part # PK11916 that you referenced. This will fit the twist-in style mounting bracket of your rear bumper and would work well for you. I attached an install video for you to check out as well.

  • Weight Distribution Shank for Fastway Weight Distribution with More Drop and Length
  • Fastway has a longer weight distribution shank that has more drop like you need with the part # FA92-02-4214 which can do a drop of up to 5-1/2 inches and is 12 inches long. Or if you need more drop than that we have the part # FA92-02-4315 which is 12 inches long and has a drop of up to 9-3/4 inches.

  • Does the Battery Have to be Disconnected to Flat Tow a 2015 Chevy Suburban Behind a Motor Home
  • The battery should be disconnected because your 2015 Chevy Suburban has some feature that draws power when the vehicle key is in the towing position indicated in the owner's manual. If you leave the battery connected then what will happen is the battery will drain unless you stop frequently enough to let the Suburban motor run so the alternator can charge the battery back up. But there is a way to provide a maintenance charge to the vehicle battery when flat towing it with the battery...

  • What Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Fits My Factory Crossbars on My 2022 Chevy Suburban?
  • For your factory crossbars on your 2022 Chevy Suburban, Rhino-Rack does not have an engineered fit for your vehicle. With that being said, Rhino-Rack does make Pioneer Platforms that are a universal fit for crossbar systems. Those are the following platforms: - Rhino-Rack Universal Pioneer Platform Rack for Crossbars - 58" Long x 47" Wide # RR42115BF - Rhino-Rack Universal Pioneer Platform Rack for Crossbars - 48" Long x 38" Wide # RR42114BF In order to determine if these fit your crossbars,...

  • Cushioned Equalizer Replacement for 2022 Keystone Bullet 290bhSWE
  • Best option for a cushioned equalizer kit to replace a equalizer part # TREQ104 would be the EZ Flex part # K71-652-00 which matches closely to the dimensions you have, does an excellent job cushioning the trailer suspension and comes with wet bolts as well like you are looking for. This also comes with heavy duty shackle straps as well that are 2-1/4 inch so your ride height would stay same.

  • Recommended Thule Roof Rack for a 2019 Chevy Suburban
  • I recommend going with the Thule aero-style roof rack that uses the Podium feet because it is the most functional of the roof rack systems for your 2019 Chevy Suburban that also features reduced wind noise and drag. This roof rack consists of the 60" WingBar Evo crossbars # TH711520 Black or # TH711500 Silver, the Podium Foot Pack # TH460R and Fit Kit # THKIT4041. I also recommend adding the lock kit # TH450400 to add some security to your system. I like this system over the Edge systems...

  • Can I Use Snow Tire Chains With My 2016 Chevrolet Suburban With 265/60 R20 Tires
  • I checked the owner's manual of your 2016 Chevrolet Suburban 3500HD and there is an issue with using snow tire chains on your vehicle, with these tires. Your tires are larger than the tires Chevrolet says you should not use with snow tire chains. We do offer snow tire chains that fit those size tires, such as the Konig Premium Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains - Diamond Pattern - D Link - K-Summit XXL - Size K79, part # KON24FR, or the Glacier V-Bar Snow Tire Chains with Cam Tighteners...

  • Economical Weight Distribution System for 2005 Chevy Suburban Towing Forest River Trailer
  • For your specific application with your 2004 Forest River Wildwood Trailer being towed by your 2005 Suburban, we do recommend a weight distribution system with Sway Control, but we are pleased to make a number of recommendations for you, both with and without sway control. I suggest you review the Pro Series Weight Distribution System, part # PS49583. This complete system includes head assembly, adjustable shank, lift brackets, round bars, lift chains, pin and clip. You can add friction...

  • Recommended Towing Mirrors for 2017 Chevrolet Suburban
  • The only custom towing mirror option available for your 2017 Chevy Suburban is the K-Source Snap & Zap # KS80920. The CIPA Towing Mirrors # CM10950 that you referenced are only designed to fit certain model years of the Chevy Silverado so they will not be compatible with the factory mirrors on your vehicle. I know the K-Source # KS80920 wasn't your first choice but I can honestly say that I like the snap-on style of attachment on these much more than the slip-on models like the CIPA....

  • Recommended Tow Bar Wiring For 2016 Chevy Suburban
  • We do have some TowDaddy custom tail light wiring kits, but unfortuntately we don't carry one for your 2016 Suburban. TowDaddy was aquired by Hopkins in 2013 so many of the vehicles fits are no longer options or never were. I recommend the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267 for your application. I've attached a video for you or an install as well. This kit will allow you to use your vehicle's tail lights and wiring system while preventing feedback that...

  • Front Timbren Kit Availability for a 2001 Chevy Suburban 4x4
  • The part # TGMFK15A that you referenced will fit a 2001 Chevy Suburban 1500 4x4. If instead you have a 2500 model you would want the part # TGMFK25S. By nature these Timbren kits will not stiffen up the front suspension unless you have a decent load on the front of the truck. Unloaded you shouldn't notice them installed.
