Hello Adam, thanks for reaching out. Both of the tires you mentioned, the Kenda #AM10234 and #KE88KV are ST205/75R14 Radial load range C trailer tires. The difference is the type of tire. The #AM10234 is a KR03 tire. This is intended more for paved…
The attachment bolts for a 5-bolt brake assembly like the part #AKEBRK-6R should be torqued to 30-50 foot/lbs. If you don't have a torque wrench handy, if you tighten the bolts until the lock washers flatten out, you'll be pretty darn close…
Hey Steve, thanks for the measurements. I'm sorry but we do not have a flat mount coupler with 5-1/2" spaced mounting holes. All of our options are going to be similar to the Demco Trailer Coupler item #DM15080-97 you were looking at. This…
Hello Brad, thanks for reaching out. For a compressor system to go with your Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 air bags I recommend the following: - Air Lift WirelessONE Suspension System for Air Helper Springs - Remote - Bluetooth - EZ Mount #AL77DQ This…
First I want to make sure you verify your channel mount for the Demco Trailer Coupler #DM14040-81 has a 21K or larger capacity as often times they are less like the Demco #DM15349-52 which often times people look at and think it is a channel mount…
Hey Dave, thanks for reaching out! We don't have the 15" Lionshead Lynx Silver wheel, and that line has unfortunately been discontinued so we won't be able to get it either. If you just need one wheel like for a spare, then the Aluminum…
Torsion axles use internal rubber cords that make it tricky to weld them, such as for installation of a brake flange to let you install electric drum brakes on the axle. If your torsion axle happens to have drop spindles (rather than straight ones…
Since both a ST145/R12 size tire, like the Kenda Karrier S-Trail #AM10130, and a 5.30-12 size tire, like the Kenda K353 #AM10068, fit a 12 inch wheel, a ST145/R12 size tire can replace a 5.30-12 size tire. Keep in mind that these tires do have…
The longer 2-1/2" torx screw Item #TFX250ACQ will work the best to attach the boards to the metal frame of your Big Tex trailer when replacing the trailer deck. If you need a torx head screwdriver bit, you can use part #TX430-1.
Thank you for all of the photos you sent in! I have some parts I believe will fit, but if you're able to find any exact part numbers on the actuator itself I will be able to provide more of a concrete selection of parts. It looks like your…
The Demco 50-Degree A-Frame Trailer Coupler w/ Jack Hole - eZ-Latch - Primed - 2-5/16" Ball - 21K #12660-97SP does not have any bolt information, with the reason being that this is a weld-on application and cannot be bolted on. I did cut out the…
Flat Mount Trailer Coupler: The Ultimate Towing Companion
Flat mount trailer couplers are essential for secure and reliable towing. Known for their heavy-duty construction and ease of use, these couplers ensure a smooth connection between your trailer and vehicle. When choosing a coupler, consider the ball size, latch mechanism, and installation requirements to match your towing needs.
Flat mount trailer couplers are designed for straightforward installation, often bolting directly onto your trailer. Many come primed, ready for painting, and feature foolproof ball mounts. Ensure your trailer's existing holes align with the coupler's for a seamless fit, or be prepared to drill new ones if necessary.
The latch mechanism on flat mount trailer couplers is typically spring-loaded, making it easy to secure onto the ball. This design ensures a tight connection without the need for additional pins, though some prefer using a lock for added security. The mechanism is intuitive, providing peace of mind during towing.
While some couplers feature plastic latch handles, they are generally designed to withstand regular use. However, if you're concerned about longevity, consider opting for models with metal handles. The plastic handles are convenient but may require careful handling to ensure they last over time.
Flat mount trailer couplers are commonly compatible with 2-inch balls, which are standard for many trailers. This size offers a good balance of strength and versatility, accommodating a wide range of towing needs. Always check the coupler's specifications to ensure compatibility with your trailer's ball size.
Absolutely, flat mount trailer couplers are built for heavy-duty tasks. Their robust construction and secure latch mechanisms make them ideal for towing equipment and trailers. Whether you're upgrading from a pintle hitch or need a reliable connection for your trailer, these couplers are up to the challenge.
