Recommended Air Bags and Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch for a 2023 GMC Sierra 2500 w/ Prep Package
Question:
I tow a 5th wheel trailer and just got a new 2023 GMC Sierra 2500. It has the factory puck system. I am looking at getting the B&W Companion slider. Is there a set of air bags that fit my truck and are compatible with an in bed hitch set up like my truck has?

Yes, we do have a set of air bags for your 2023 GMC Sierra 2500 with the factory towing prep package. They are the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs item # AL57341.
These air bags have a 5,000 lbs capacity to keep the rear end of your Silverado level. They are also compatible with all in bed hitches like the factory one your GMC truck came with.
I have linked a picture below that shows these air bags installed on a Sierra 2500.
I recommend adding the Air Lift Load Controller Compressor System item # AL25856 to your Sierra. This onboard air compressor will allow you to adjust the PSI in your air bags individually to adjust for off center loads.
The B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider item # BWRVK3775 is compatible with the puck system on your 2023 Sierra. This sliding hitch has a 20,000 lbs capacity and will give you 12" of travel to help make tight turns or back into your camping site.
I have linked a picture below that will show you the Companion Slider installed in the factory puck system.
The B&W Companion Slider weighs over 250 lbs. If that's not something you're interested in moving by yourself and don't want to have to rely on someone to help you then I recommend purchasing the B&W 5th Wheel Lifting Device for Companion and Patriot Hitches item # BWRVXA3130. This heavy duty steel tool lets you lift your B&W 5th-wheel hitch from your truck bed with a hoist. The 5th-Wheel jaws clamp around the device for a secure grip.
