  • Replacement For 24 Inch 3,500 lb Leaf Springs & Equalizer Upgrade
  • Thanks so much for that info, and to replace your current leaf springs that are 24 inches apart from center eye to center eye, you want springs that are slightly shorter because over time they flatten out. So for replacements I recommend 23-1/8" long springs: - 3-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 3,500-lb Trailer Axles - 23-1/8" Long # e59SR Then to replace your equalizer with a MORryde equalizer, you'll want to measure your axle from center to center, which will be your wheelbase, and the correct...

  • Can A Progressive Dynamics PD4135K Replace A Magnetek 6325A
  • Converter output is typically talked about in amperage and not wattage. Your 6325 would indicate that you have a 6300 model panel with a 25 amp converter. You can replace just the converter if you don't want to replace the whole panel or you can replace the entire panel with the Progressive Dynamics RV Power Control Center with AC/DC Panel and Converter/Smart Charger - 35 amp # PD4135K you were looking at. My recommendation is to replace the entire panel as this one comes with a better...

  • How to Prevent Trailer Axle from Hitting the Frame
  • Installing a 4,000 lb capacity leaf spring on a trailer with a 3,500 lb capacity axle will make the suspension stiffer which could then in turn minimize the risk of the axle contacting the frame. However, this is not what I recommend to fix your problem. Instead, I recommend using the SumoSprings Trailer Helper Springs part # TSS-106-40 which will provide you with a rubber bumper between the suspension and frame as you can see in the attached photo. They will not produce a continuous rough...

  • Ram Truck Factory Puck System for 5th Wheel Hitches
  • The Ram OEM 5th wheel puck system, shown in the linked photo and article, was launched in 2013 so what you have in your truck is likely to be an aftermarket installation of some kind. These newer Ram trucks with the factory prep can directly accept a specialized 5th wheel hitch such as the B&W # BWRVK3600 or the Curt # C16545-16021. Such hitches drop right into those factory pucks, allowing you to completely remove the hitch for a clear bed when necessary for cargo. Without seeing the...

  • Replacement Modular Base for a Thule TracRac on a 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 w/ 6.5' Bed
  • Thank you for reaching back out and clarifying that, the reason you received a response talking about a 5th wheel hitch is because base rails are a 5th wheel product. What you are needing is something different than base rails. The TracRac's are a custom fit product for each vehicle. Depending on what vehicle it came off of and what model it is, there is a chance it will not work with your 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 with 6.5' bed. That being said, the Replacement Modular Base for Thule TracRac...

  • Thule Hullavator 897 And Hullavator 897XT Compatibility Issues
  • The brackets on the Thule Hullavator 897 and the Thule Hullavator 897XT are not the same. The first generation Hullavator was designed to only work with Thule square bars, so it will not work with your Thule WingBar Evo. The updated model, 897XT, was designed to work with square and elliptical shaped crossbars. If you have the correctly shaped bracket you will be able to mount your Thule Hullavator 897 to your Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars - Aluminum - Silver - 53" Long - Qty 2, part # TH711400....

  • 2020 Dodge Durango GT OEM Cladding Skirt Running Board Fitment
  • I have some running boards that will fit, but the DeeZee NXc Running Boards w Custom Installation Kit # DZ16201-16241 aren't compatible with the OEM cladding skirt on your 2020 Dodge Durango GT. Instead you need the Aries RidgeStep Running Boards # AA46FR which sit lower and further out so they will work - I confirmed this with my contact at Aries. These aren't the exact same ad the NXc but they do have the same general design.

  • Will the Yakima Enclosed Cargo Carrier Work with a Motorhome?
  • I have a great solution for you. Unfortunately, manufacturers do not test or confirm their carriers will work with motorhomes. However, with that being said, many of our customers have used the Yakima EXO Swing Away Enclosed Cargo Carrier - 2" Hitches - 10 cu ft - 100 lbs # Y62VR on their RVs and Motorhomes. I do not think you will have any issue if you follow the maximum load capacities of your hitch and the Yakima EXO (100 pounds), but I wanted to make sure that you were aware that the...

  • Can Air Bags be Installed on a 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 4x4 with Curt Gooseneck C60734
  • The upper brackets for Firestone air bags # F2220 bolt through the frame but the frame brackets for Curt gooseneck hitch # C60734 do not have holes in them to accommodate this so this particular set up will not work together. If you could tell me if your Ram is a 1500, 2500, or 3500 as well as if it is 2- or 4-wheel drive, and if you already have the gooseneck hitch or air bags (or both or neither) I can see if we have some combination that will work for you.

  • Can Yakima Viper Bike Rack be Adapted to Fit Aero Crossbars
  • We've checked with Yakima in the past and they've told us that they do not make an adapter for the Viper bike racks to allow them to fit the aero shaped bars you mentioned. For a similar bike rack that does fit your 2014 Dodge Durango we have the Yakima Forklift part # Y02098 which would work great.

  • Will a Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar Fit a 1991 Dodge B250 with Rear Fuel Tank
  • The Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar # RM-1129-111 that you referenced sits in front of the rear axle with just a little of it sitting behind, but it shouldn't be enough to interfere with the large fuel tank that you have on your 1991 Dodge B250. My contact at Roadmaster confirmed this. I have attached a link to the installation instructions for you to reference.

  • How to Fix Top of Trailer Tires Rubbing Fender
  • You actually should shoot for 4-1/2" of clearance between the top of your tire and the bottom of the fender well. This accounts for flex in your suspension. Unless 2,280 lbs is the GVWR (gross vehicle weight rating) of your trailer then you need to look into lifting your trailer as opposed to smaller tires. Even just going down to 4.80R12 tires, like part # TT48012C, gives you an overall weight capacity of 3,960 lbs. This means that you can load about 1,700 lbs on your trailer before it...

  • Will the Tekonsha Replacement Vehicle Wiring Harness Fit a 2018 Dodge Durango W/O Trailer Wiring
  • The Tekonsha OEM Replacement Vehicle Wiring Harness w Brake Controller Adapter part # 22551 is specifically designed to be used with a 2018 Dodge Durango that did not come with trailer wiring. The harness offers almost an entirely plug and play installation that will not require you to splice any wires. If you also need a brake controller I recommend using the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller part # 90195 as this is our top of the line best selling brake controller. The popularity...

  • Does the Rhino-Rack Roof Rack Fit a 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan with a Naked Roof?
  • I do have a way for you to install a roof rack on your 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan, but it involves using the SeaSucker # 298-SX6000B vacuum cups as opposed to a traditional-style fit kit system like you are looking at with the Rhino-Rack # DS1375B. The SeaSucker seems a little unconventional but the vacuum cups are definitely sturdy enough to handle the same types of loads and applications that other roof racks are usually used for. Each cup has a pull strength of 210 lbs and 6 of them are...

  • How To Install Trailer Hitch On 2022 Dodge Durango R/T Plus AWD w/ Full Size Spare
  • There are trailer hitches that fit your 2022 Dodge Durango R/T Plus AWD, but none will fit with a full size spare. Your options are to go to the dealer and pick up a compact spare so you can install the etrailer # e98901 allowing you to tow a trailer or carry a bike rack/cargo carrier. or option two is unfortunately you won't be able to install a trailer hitch at all. Due to clearance restraints underneath your vehicle there won't be an option for retaining a full size spare, though I'm...

  • Can the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller be Used for Brakes on 2011 Ram Pickup While Flat Towing
  • You actually need to use a supplemental braking system to activate the brakes on your 2011 Dodge Ram pickup. Since vehicle brakes are hydraulic you won't be able to use an electric brake controller like the Prodigy P2 # 90885 to utilize the brakes on your vehicle. We do have the Brake Buddy Stealth # HM39530 which utilizes a specific electric brake controller but this whole unit stays installed on your vehicle. Since you have a 2011 and may be upgrading your vehicle in the near future I...

  • Can 2005 Jeep Grand Grand Cherokee Be Flat Towed on Tow Dolly
  • Your 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4x4 is towable with the Tow Dolly part # RM-2050-1 that you referenced. Jeeps are among the most popular vehicles to flat tow. The 2009 Dodge Nitro can also be flat towed but you will need to use a lube pump in the transmission. We do not carry these.

  • What Size Cover Do I Need For A 285/75R16 Trailer Tire?
  • With a 285/75R16 tire, you have a diameter of 32.83 inches. You will need a 33 inch cover to fit your spare. A confirmed tire cover fit is the Classic Accessories Universal Fit Spare Tire Cover - Large 30"- 33" Black, # 052963753875. I have attached a link to the page for other similar options of 33 inch covers for you as well. You might also be interested in a tire storage cover. For that, I recommend the Bestop RoughRider Spare Tire Organizer for Jeep - 30" to 33" Tires - Black...
