Thanks for the picture Richard, I can tell by your picture you have a Model 6 surge actuator on your trailer which the #T4846500183 is the correct replacement for if you were wanting a channel style inner slide member replacement.

You can convert surge brakes to an electric over hydraulic braking system. To do this, you will need an electric over hydraulic actuator and a brake controller. For an electric over hydraulic actuator, I recommend looking at the Carlisle HydraStar…

Hello Ziggy, Good question. The DeeMaxx Alpha G1600 Plug and Play Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator #DE75KR works with 2017–2022 GM trucks that have built-in brake controllers, like the Silverado and Sierra. It’s built to “trick” the truck into…

Hey Jim, I attached a picture that has the dimensions between the mounting holes of the Demco Channel Coupler part #DM15931-52 that you referenced. Are these the dimensions you are looking for?

The channel of the Demco 21K #DM16080-52 coupler is 3 inches deep. The distance from the center of where the trailer ball would sit to the first 5/8 inch hole is 7 inches, and 12 inches to the second hole. The Titan #T4853100 dimensions are a little…

Hi Ian! Disc brakes will need to have at least 1,600 psi from the actuator (drums are 1,000 to 1,200), so you will want to make sure whatever you go with is rated for that. With that said, I recommend the Hydrastar Marine Electric Over Hydraulic…

Yes, you can absolutely drill holes in your trailer tongue to install the 10,000 lb capacity Buyers Products Straight Tongue Trailer Coupler #3370091560. This is a pretty common occurrence due to the various bolt hole patterns of straight tongue…

Hello Eric, The #K2R35DKG is Dacromet-coated, and the calipers are treated with KodaGuard. The #K2R35DS, on the other hand, is made entirely of stainless steel, hence the higher price. If you're in an area where road salt is common or if…

To mount the Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler - Trigger Latch - Bolt On #CT-5003-Z, I recommend using 1/2 inch bolts. The higher the grade, the stronger the bolt. I've attached the review video to help as you plan this installation.

In order to determine the torque rating for the lug nuts on your trailer you will need to know check out the chart I attached that shows all of the torque specs for all the trailer lugs available based on stud size, wheel material and wheel size.
