1981 Mercury Capri Lift Assist

You wouldn't use a spring like #RS16933LH because it produces 2,000 foot pounds of torque and you would not be able to open the ramp. What I recommend is either the Rack'em Double Barrel tailgate assist, #RA-27C. The Double Barrel will reduce…

Between the Rack'Em Double Barrel Utility Trailer Tailgate Lift Assist #RA-27C and the Gorilla-Lift Utility Trailer Tailgate Lift Assist #GL1, we do in fact sell more of the Double Barrel #RA-27C. As far as quality of the product, the Double…

Since you have already tested the trailer brakes with a few different trucks by different manufacturers (2 of which have been used with an Electric Over Hydraulic (EOH) system), the problem should be with your trailer. The reason that they most…

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…

The bumper fits between a 2002 Chevy Silverado 2500HD and a 2002 Chevy Silverado 1500 are different. For example for the 1500 we have the part #31006 and for the 2500HD models we have the #31010. They key difference seems to be the brackets since the…

We do offer a range of replacement trailer hub assemblies that use the L68149 bearing as their inner bearing and that have the 5-on-4-1/2-inch bolt pattern. All can be seen on the link at right. However, none of these 16 hubs uses that same bearing…

The Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 3,500-lb Axles - 10" Diameter - 5 on 5-1/2 #AKHD-555-35-K will fit the spindle on your trailer to replace your AL-KO 8700 hub, but this does have a 5 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern. My information is the AL-KO…

Hello again Michael; is there a reason you want to add larger wheels and tries? The loss of clearance from switching to the #AM22627 will depend on your current tire size and the size you switch to. An ST205/75R14 like #KE28KV has a section width of…

If you wanted to use the Gorilla-Lift Utility Trailer Tailgate Lift Assist part #GL1 on your utility trailer with tall sides you would need to have a rail that is 12" to 24" from trailer floor. It does not look like there is one from the…
