Hey Dave, Usually, trailer tires are not balanced with weights like car tires because if the trailer weight changes it can cause the weights to vibrate off. So what trailer tire and wheel manufacturers will do is line up the heavy spot in the wheel…
The differences between the Firestone Ride Rite #F2613 and the Red Label #F2709 for your 2023 GMC Sierra 3500 Crew Cab Long Bed is the air pressure and max weight capacity. The Ride-Rite #F2613 are rated for 5,000lbs and 100 PSI, where the Red Label…
Hey Jerry, GM moved the placement of their puck systems starting with 2020 models so you are correct that the pucks would have the hitch not sit directly over the axle. GM did the math and made sure that this placement wouldn't adversely affect…
I checked out your 2016 Solitude 321RL and since it has a tapered nose and an extended pin box you wouldn't need a slider hitch installed in the bed of your 2020 GMC Sierra 3500. You could use the B and W Companion Fixed Hitch for GM rail kit…
Special trailer tires do not really need to be given a full dynamic balance like passenger vehicle tires do, but tires on a tow dolly probably should be balanced since just these two tires will have an effect the overall handling of the dolly. I…
Hey Dan, thanks for reaching out. Yes, the B&W Continuum Weight Distribution #BW84BR can absolutely be used with the Tuson Trailer Sway Control System #335TSC-1000. The two will not interfere with each other in any way. Are you having really bad…

There are a few things that can cause the brakes to lock up on a trailer. First, disconnect the trailer from the vehicle. Then use a circuit tester like #PTW2979 if needed to test the connector on the vehicle. Have someone sit in the truck and run…
The correct way to wire your breakaway battery, like the Hopkins Engager #20400, is to have the black wire from the battery connected to the 12V power on your trailer, and then the blue wire to your breakaway switch which, in turn, connects to the…
The Detail K2 Mighty Multi A-Frame item #K2MMT5X7 trailers do not leave much space between the top of the wheel and the inside of the fender. You would have to either remove your fenders or move them up. I can confirm that both the Karrier…
On the B&W #BWRVK3370 Companion 5th Wheel Hitch, the distance from the rear puck connector to the back edge of the hitch is 7-1/2" and I have attached a graphic illustrating this. In your truck bed, go to the rear puck mounts and from the…

WOW! I am impressed! I called to place my order and real person answered, spoke perfect English, albeit a slight southern accent, and my order was sent within a day, shipped quickly and I had it a few days later. I saved over a hundred dollars over local and installed it my self. I cant imagine how that they could do any better. THANKS!
Tire balancing beads are a game-changer for maintaining smooth rides and extending tire life. They dynamically balance your tires from the inside, eliminating the need for external weights. Perfect for trailers, trucks, and RVs, these beads ensure even wear and a vibration-free drive, even at high speeds.
Tire balancing beads distribute themselves evenly inside the tire as it rotates, counteracting any imbalance. This results in a smoother ride, reducing vibrations and enhancing tire longevity. They're especially effective for larger vehicles like RVs and trailers, where traditional weights might not suffice.
Installation can be straightforward but requires patience. Beads are typically added through the valve stem, which can be slow. For best results, consider having a professional break the tire bead and add them directly. This method avoids potential issues with TPMS sensors and ensures even distribution.
Yes, tire balancing beads are versatile and can be used in various tire types, including those on trailers, trucks, and cars. They're particularly beneficial for larger or off-road tires where traditional balancing methods might fall short.
Be cautious with packaging as some users have reported issues with broken inner bags, leading to spills. Ensure you check for all components, like valve stems and caps, before installation. Proper handling will prevent unnecessary mess and ensure all parts are used correctly.
While some users have successfully used beads with TPMS, it's generally recommended to install them by breaking the tire bead to avoid potential sensor interference. This method ensures the beads don't clog the valve stem or affect sensor readings.
