Hey Greg, since you have a Blue Ox tow bar the correct base plate kit would be the Blue Ox part #BLU53FR. Since you said you wanted an EZ wiring lighting kit the Curt wiring harness part #C96JR would be what you want as this does not require any…
Hi George! The Demco Stay-IN-Play Duo #SM99251 will absolutely work on your 2026 Chevy Trax. Since it does not have a vacuum booster and you need to disconnect the battery when flat towing, you will need to leave the vacuum line and check valve open…
I sure can Blake! I just heard back from Dexter and both of your axles are 3,500 lbs capacity. That's all the information they were able to provide. Here are the replacement parts you've requested: Hub/Drums - 5 on 4-1/2 Lug Nut Pattern item…
Hi Joseph, the 3,500 pound rating on part #C80136 is for each individual safety cable, not the pair. That said, the ratings are not added together, so the maximum weight of the vehicle or trailer being towed still cannot exceed 3,500 pounds. The…
In addition to the base plates like the Blue Ox set you have for your 2022 Chevy Spark, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. One of the most popular compatible tow bars…

Hey Timothy, welcome back! I would be happy to help you put that together here. You already have the tow bar, so you need a base plate kit, safety cables if you don't have them, wiring, and then the Demco brake system. I recommend the following:…
Hey Sharon, sounds like the 2015 Jeep Wrangler you have has a Roadmaster base plate kit installed on it currently. So that would mean you would need a Roadmaster tow bar like the Falcon 3HD part #RM27NQ that you referenced. Is there any evidence of a…
Hey Mark, great question but the current Blue Ox Patriot #BLU37TR has a hybrid mode that you would need to put it in for your 2024 Ford Maverick hybrid. This will take care of most of the initial setting issues you are concerned about but aside from…
Gladly! The difference between the Blue Ox Patriot 3 Radio Frequency, Portable Braking System BRK2019 and the Blue Ox Patriot Radio Frequency, Portable Braking System #BLU37TR is that the Blue Ox Patriot 3 RBRK2019 is older, no longer available, and…

Safety Cables with 54 Inch Length for flat towing
Count on an exact reach for flat towing—54 inch long safety cables bridge your setup without excess slack. Length is measured center-to-center on the loop ends, so you can confirm fit before you hook up. Heavy-duty options in this length are rated 14,000 lbs for flat towing; for 16,000 lbs use chains, and standard 5th wheels don't require safety chains unless using an adapter.
Yes, installation is straightforward. They're well made and easy to install. Check that the 54" center-to-center length reaches both attachment points with slight slack for turns and dips. Ensure hooks or ends fit your mounts and that the cables won't drag or rub sharp edges.
They top out at 14,000 lbs and are for flat towing. For 16,000 lbs you need chains. Standard 5th wheel trailers don't require safety chains unless you're using a gooseneck ball adapter. Verify your trailer's requirements and match the cable or chain rating to the load.
Not for a 14,000 lbs dump trailer. The highest capacity safety cables are 14,000 lbs and are intended for flat towing, not heavy dump trailers. For higher weights, use rated chains. Check your attachment points and confirm length using the center-to-center method before you buy.
They measure 54" from the center of one loop end to the center of the other. Measure your setup the same way to confirm reach. If using S-hooks, note the center of the open end to the center of the closed end is about 1-1/2", but that dimension is hard to pin down precisely. Allow a little extra length rather than coming up short.
