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…
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…
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.
Hey Darren, the studs of the Optronics Fusion LED Trailer Light #OPT45KB that you referenced are not designed to thread out of the assembly easily. You could take a cutting wheel to them and cut them off flush pretty easily though if you wanted to…
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…
Hey Sal, the Optronics Fusion LED Trailer Light #OPT45KB is for just 1, not set of 2. These are super nice, but if you want some other options to consider, we also have the Fusion LED Hardwired Trailer Light #OPT57NR which does have the same…
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.…
Hey Eli! The first thing you want to do is make sure you have brake flanges on those axles. You also need to take a look at the axle tags and find the axle capacity. More than likely they're 3,500 lb axles so I'll answer based on that. If you…
The appropriate torque spec for any application will vary depending on the construction of the wheel as well as on the stud size. I suggest checking the wheels you're using to see if their manufacturer has a suggested torque rating. Steel trailer…

Trailer Lights from Command Electronics for easy replacements
Clean, factory-style replacements are easy with Command Electronics trailer lights. Choose from oval amber marker options and dual or triple LED tail lights, including versions with stop, turn, tail, and backup functions and flush-mount installs with a 4-wire pigtail. For lasting results, seal the perimeter to prevent leaks and use stainless, aluminum, or zinc-plated screws on aluminum surfaces, with heat-shrink butt connectors on the wiring.
Tighten the screws evenly and avoid overtightening to help prevent cracking. Make sure the mounting surface is flat; if a wire protrusion causes bowing, add rubber washers or spacers. If holes don't line up, installing the light upside down can match existing holes while still sealing properly.
Some options include stop, turn, tail, and backup. Confirm the listed functions match what your trailer uses. Check the wiring color code printed on the back when available and verify the connector or pigtail style you plan to use.
Enhance the seal with a high quality silicone or a non-sag sealant around the screw holes and the light perimeter. Check whether a gasket is included; if not, reuse the old one if it's in good shape or add sealant. Recheck the seal after installation to reduce the chance of moisture getting in.
Match the overall size and shape and make sure the functions line up with your original light. Check whether you need recessed or flush mount and compare the mounting hole pattern; you may need to flip the light to match existing holes. Verify the wiring layout and color code printed on the back when present.
Use stainless steel, aluminum, or zinc plated screws to help avoid corrosion. Self-tapping screws work well in aluminum. Seal your wiring with heat shrink butt connectors to keep moisture out.
