In order to determine the torque rating for the lug nuts on your trailer you will need to know check out the chart I attached that shows all of the torque specs for all the trailer lugs available based on stud size, wheel material and wheel size.
Hey Mike, I see your confusion there! They are both rated for 2,860lbs at 65 psi. I went ahead and reached out directly to Kenda to make sure we had our information correct, turns out we did not. Both part numbers have the same weight rating for the…

Reliable Trailer Breakaway Kits with Battery Included
Explore trailer breakaway kits with included batteries for hassle-free installation and reliable performance. These kits ensure your trailer's brakes engage automatically if it detaches, providing peace of mind on the road.
Having a battery included means you're ready to go right out of the box. It simplifies installation and ensures the breakaway system is powered and ready to engage the brakes if needed. This feature is crucial for safety, especially during unexpected detachments.
Installation is straightforward, but it's important to follow the correct wiring diagram. Some kits may have discrepancies in instructions, so double-check online resources if needed. Proper drill bit size is also key for secure mounting, ensuring the system functions correctly.
Some kits may drain the battery if not reset, especially if lights are left flashing. An audible alarm can be a helpful addition. Also, ensure the mounting lugs are sturdy to avoid replacements due to breakage.
These kits generally perform well, even in cold temperatures. However, installation might be more challenging in extreme cold. It's best to install when temperatures are moderate to ensure everything fits and functions properly.
etrailer videos provide clear, step-by-step guidance, making the installation process easier. They cover everything from wiring to mounting, ensuring you set up your breakaway kit correctly and efficiently, saving time and avoiding potential issues.
