1996 Ford F-150 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…

I have included a video that briefly goes over installing the Hopkins EasyLift Truck Bed Tailgate Lift Assist #74211 but we do not have a video that goes over the entire installation process. As you can see in the video you will need to drill a hole…

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 replacement idler hub kit that you referenced, Dexter 2200-lb E-Z Lube Hub Assembly #8-258-50UC1-EZ that is shown in the linked video, does use the same inner and outer bearing (L44649) and it does have the 5-on-4-1/2-inch bolt pattern you…

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…

Hi Mike, If a specific signal isn't coming through to the towed vehicle or trailer then the first place to start would be the tow vehicle's trailer connector. It's super common for the trailer running light fuse to blow in the tow vehicle…

As shown in the attached video at about the 32 second mark, the template is used to show where to drill the hole in the truck tailgate post and then in the tailgate itself. You want to make sure you mark and drill the holes that are designed for your…
