Hello Bruce, Thanks for writing in! Using butyl tape between the trailer body and the Single Axle Jeep Style Trailer Fender - Diamond Plate Aluminum - 13" to 15" #HP96VR is exactly the route I would go. It stays flexible, creates an…
Hey Nate, We do not have a 3/4" spindle nut or washer, the smallest option is the 7/8" spindle nut #165931and a 1" washer #SW1000. I cannot find anything smaller. Are you sure the threads on you're spindle are 3/4"? If they…
Stuart, since you’ve already confirmed the truck and trailer wiring through the junction box and verified the grounds, the fact that the running lights, brake lights, backup lights, and turn signals all work individually points us toward the tail…
A trailer that is over 80 inches wide is required by DOT regulations to have rear clearance lights. An over 80 inch taillight kit, like part #TL16RK, will have the side clearance light built into it. An under 80 inch taillight does not have the…
That's a very good question, we tend to be extra cautious and say to use 10 gauge wire because that would be more than enough. When you get into longer trailers that will end up using a lot of wire the heavier gauge wire becomes more necessary.…
Thanks for the information Brian! To add a front hitch to your 2026 Ram 2500 with a diesel engine, you'll need the EcoHitch Hidden Front Hitch item #EH37FR. For camper tie downs front and rear, I recommend the TorkLift Tie Downs item #TL73NR. The…
Hey Mike! We don't have an all-in-one part that comes with the brackets and pigtail so you need to order those parts separately. The #AL91RB and #AL91AB will work with the Mounting Bracket #A91BB and then for a pigtail you can use the Right Angle…
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…
Hey Bryan, that's a good question. The pricing can definitely be misleading, but I wouldn't use it to judge the quality of the tire. A lot of that comes down to promotions, inventory, and whether you're looking at a tire by itself or…
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.
We do offer a wide variety of replacement lights for trailer but since trailer manufacturers don't keep a record of what they use on trailers I would need some pictures of the lights you are wanting to replace along with some measurements so I…
Hello John, thanks for reaching out. Yes, the mounting holes on the TecNiq Contoured Seven Function Box Style Tail Light #TN42XR (driver side) and #TN62XR (passenger side) are exactly the same as the Wesbar 271595 tail light. They are 2" apart…
Trailer Lights: Rectangle Tail Lights for easy upgrades
Going with rectangle tail lights makes upgrades simple on boat and utility trailers. Choose LED or incandescent, and if you launch, look for submersible designs and a matching 3-prong triangular pigtail. Check overall size, stud spacing like 2 inches on center, and whether you need driver/passenger-specific housings or a built-in license plate or reverse light.
Yes, choose submersible or waterproof Rectangle tail lights. Look for sealed housings and matching 3-prong pigtails if your trailer uses them. Avoid submerging lights while energized and pack pigtail sockets with dielectric grease to help keep water out. If water intrusion is suspected, check the housing and connections before the next trip.
Measure the opening and check stud spacing and depth. Sizes around 6" x 3-1/2" and about 7"-8" long are common, and some use studs 2" on center. Match the connector style too—some Rectangle tail lights use a 3-prong triangular plug while others are hardwire. If your setup has a driver side plate light, choose left and right assemblies accordingly.
LED Rectangle tail lights are a solid upgrade. They are bright and eliminate bulb changes, and sealed LED designs help prevent water penetration versus old bulb styles. If you want plug-and-play, verify your trailer uses the same factory-style connector. If your trailer had larger gauge wiring, note that some replacements use 16 gauge leads.
Verify a solid ground; odd behavior like brake lights only working with running lights off points to a grounding issue. On bolted-together trailers, running dedicated grounds to each light can help. Avoid nyloc nuts where carriage bolts sit in plastic tracks to prevent spinning. If the light includes a license plate tab, don't overtighten to reduce cracking risk.
