1998 Volkswagen Passat 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…

Hey Ron , The Hopkins EasyLift #74211 will work great with your 1995 Ford F150. One thing to keep in mind with this product is that it does not work with a step side or flare side model of that F150. If you do not have those and just have a normal…

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…

Hey Robert, yes the Kodiak disc brake calipers part #KDBC225DAC that you referenced will replace the Tie Down calipers you have now 46304, they can be used as a left or right hand caliper and does come with ceramic brake pads. If you ever needed…

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…
