A 4-Way trailer connector has the basic lighting functions only; running lights, left turn signal and brake lights, right turn signal and brake lights, and ground. A 7-Way has these functions and a 12 volt circuit, a circuit for electric trailer…
It sounds like you are speaking of the wires for the brake magnets. If this is correct, you will need to connect one of the wires to the brake controller output wire on your trailer connector and the other wire will need to be grounded to a clean…
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.…
Yes, it will work. You'll just need to cut the Lance 6-pin connector out and rewire it into the etrailer Trailer Wiring 7-Way Upgrade Kit w/ Junction Box and RV Style Connector item #e99011. Here are the individual functions of that Lance 6-pin:…
The difference between the Class II and Class III hitches has to do with their Gross Trailer Weight (GTW), their Tongue Weight (TW), and their Hitch Receiver Size. Class II trailer hitch receivers have a 1-1/4 inch receiver and can be rated up to…

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 Gary, thanks for reaching out. No, nothing is missing from the #C96GJ kit. Curt uses the term “T-Connector” pretty broadly for a lot of their plug-and-play harnesses, even when they are not a true tee-style splitter like you were expecting. On…
Thanks for reaching out Robert, I did some digging and here's what I found. Optronics bracket #A65PB is a single wire design that grounds through the mounting hardware. I checked through Optronics for the 2 wire to find that it's been…
Welcome back Jordan! I have an alternative for you but we do not have any Ram 7k jacks that can be bolted on. Just welded like item #TJD-7000S and pipe mount like item #TJDP-7000S-B options. For a 7,000 lbs capacity square jack that can be bolted on,…
