  For your 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL, I recommend starting with the Roadmaster EZ5 Base Plate Kit # RM-521453-5.

For your tow bar, I recommend the Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain, Non-Binding...

• Do You Have a 2" Ball for My Husky Weight Distribution System to Swap out My 2 5/16" Ball?
  Hello Matt, Thanks so much for the picture. We most definitely have a 2" ball that you can swap it out with. From what I see the Husky Weight Distribution uses a 1 1/4" shank (I included an image so you can compare it to the ball you have on there), you will want one of the following (both are rated for 10K): For Chrome: 2" Hitch Ball # A-90 For Stainless Steal (great for rust and corrosion): 2" Hitch Ball # C69FR If you do not have a socket already to remove the ball and install the...

• Do I Need To Use Thread Lock On The Bolts When Installing A Hitch?
  Hey Peter, Although thread lock is not necessary to install the hitch, # e98838, it is always recommended. Its especially recommended on applications where the bolts are exposed to repeated vibrations/road impacts like a trailer hitch. All it is going to do is really secure those bolts in and keep them from coming loose after frequent towing. I recommend # LT37420, Loctite, we use it on all of our hitch installations at our facility. Are you looking to tow with your hitch or use something...

• Lippert 6-Point Level-Up System Foot Pad Torque Requirement
  For the 6-point Level-Up System by Lippert, I made a call to the manufacturer to ensure you would receive correct information. Lippert said that when you bolt the footpads to the jacks, you need to torque them to 132 ft-lb. They said to make sure to use Loctite Threadlocker 262 - High Strength - Up to 3/4" Nuts/Bolts - 0.20-Fl-Oz Tube, # LT37420 on the footpad bolts and do not try to remove the bolt once it is tightened as removing the bolt could result in damage to the cylinder.

• Comparing Roadmaster Base Plates for 2007 Hummer H2 and Recommended Flat Towing System Components
  The Roadmaster MS Base Plate Kit - Fixed Arms # 2503-1 does not have the removable connections like the # 2506-1 or even the # 2506-3. The removable option gives you a cleaner look when not connected, but the connection will be similar. The # 2506-1 style of arms is compatible with Quick Disconnects and all Roadmaster tow bars, where the other options are not able to use the Quick Disconnects and are not compatible with coupler style tow bars. This compatibility is the only reason why...

  I do have a base plate kit that is compatible with your 2016 Chevrolet Colorado Z71 Trail Boss but the Roadmaster EZ5 Base Plate Kit part # RM-523182-5 is not a confirmed fit for the Z71 Trail Boss package. For a base plate kit that is compatible with your vehicle, I recommend using the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit part # BX1721 as this is the only base plate kit we have list as a fit with the Z71 and Trail Boss packages.

• What are the Toques Specs for Installing My Titan 60 Surge Brake Actuator onto My Trailer?
  Hello Robert, The torque specs for your Titan Model 60 actuator aren’t listed in a specific manual, but the mounting bolts that attach the unit to the trailer frame typically follow standard torque values based on their size and grade. For example, if you're using Grade 5 bolts, a 1/2" bolt should be torqued to around 75 ft-lbs, and a 5/8" bolt to about 150 ft-lbs. These are pretty common across trailer setups. As for the other two bolts that are part of the sliding mechanism inside the...

• Replacement External Lid Hinge for Yakima RocketBox Rooftop Cargo Box
  On cargo boxes like the Yakima RocketBox series the external hinges and most other components that are riveted into place at the time of manufacture are not user-replaceable. So this just means you might need to drill out the rivets on the bad hinge, remove it completely and install a new one using more conventional nuts-and-bolts hardware. We do offer two replacement hinges, parts # TH13227 from Thule and # SR03396 from SportRack, and one of these will work fine on another brand of cargo...

• Troubleshooting Wobble with Swagman XC Bike Rack
  For your Swagman XC 2-Bike Rack Platform Style # S64650, the hitch pin that came with the rack or the Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock and Cable # S64031 may need to be tightened. I recommend moving the rack up and down slightly as you tighten that threaded bolt. That should secure the shank to your hitch. The two set-screws you mentioned connecting the crossbar to the shank, will only tighten so much and you do want to be careful not to strip the threads. If you have wobble of bikes side...

• Trailer Spare Tire Carrier Recommendation for Aluminum Side Wall on Utility Trailer
  For your Aluma Utility trailer with aluminum side walls, I recommend the Fulton Hi-Mount Spare Tire Carrier # FSTC1000301. This spare tire carrier is zinc plated so it won't have galvanic corrosion issues with your aluminum side wall and it has two plates to hold the back side of the carrier and disperse that pressure. Aluminum is a softer metal, so you will want to be careful when tightening to make it snug and yet not over-tighten and deform the side wall. If you want to make sure...

• Replacing Foot Pad On Lippert 6-Point Level-Up System - 132 Ft-lb Torque Requirement + Loctite
  I understand your concern. I called Lippert to verify that the 132 Ft-lb of torque and use of Locktite is still valid. They said that was the requirement and there were no alternative instructions. The assumption is that this is the method they used for installation and that by removing the foot pad you will run the risk of damaging the cylinder. If you need to remove it in the future the only way to release it after red Loctite is used would be by applying heat. I also verifed the order...

To do so you will need baseplates, a tow bar, tow bar wiring, a supplemental braking system and some other small components.

  The Lippert 1621 pin box # LC1191191 is 12-3/4 inches wide and has a measurement of 3-3/8 inch from the leading edge of the pin box to the front of the king pin. From the leading edge to the back of the pin box the measurement is 8-7/8 inches. This will require the capture plate 3365 you referenced.

• Replacement Crossbar Hardware for Yakima Y01151 OverHaul HD Truck Bed Ladder Rack
  Although Yakima doesn't offer the M8 x 18mm security Hex Screw as a separate item, they do offer the screws as part of their # Y42XR replacement hardware kit which includes 4 of the M8 x 18 screws, 4 flat washers, 4 lock washers and 2 nut plates. As you can see by using the provided link, the kit is very inexpensive and it never hurts to have some spare parts around. I'd also think about using some thread locker like # LT37420 to make sure the hardware doesn't back out again.

  Your 2018 Chevy Silverado 1500 crew cab 4x4 curb weight is 5,300 lbs based on my research.

• Is There Torque Specs For the Nuts On The Dexter Single Axle Heavy Duty Suspension Kit K71-403-00
  The Dexter Single Axle Heavy Duty Suspension Kit # K71-403-00 technically will not have a torque specification. However, I have been asked this before and was informed by Dexter that what you need to do is tighten them down to the point of either pinching the leaf spring or all the way to the shoulder of the bolts. If you start pinching the head of the leaf spring before hitting the shoulder, you will need to back the nut off a little to let the spring move, but not so loose that it can...

• Roadmaster Falcon All-Terrain Tow Bar Will Not Lock Into Place
  I spoke with my Roadmaster representative, and explained the problem you are experiencing. There is not a repair kit available for the problem you describe, but my rep told me that is sounds as if the anvil bolt on the end of the inner arm has come loose. This is a very simple repair. Remove the inner arm from the outer arm, and locate the anvil bolt on the end of the inner arm. Remove the bolt, and apply some red locktite (part # LT37420) to the threads and reassemble the arm. When this...
