That's going to depend on the coupler of the trailer. I can't gaurantee you what size you will encounter so you will need to check with the owner of the trailer currently and ask what it takes.

For a 2 inch ball you would want part # A-90 and for a 2-5/16 inch ball # 19286. Most likely it's a 2-5/16 though.

Hi Ric; using a converter that is not rated for lithium is not recommended. Your existing WFCO converter won't be able to fully charger a battery like #34282738, it could overheat, and might trip the BMS which would shut the battery down until it…

Hello John, thanks for reaching out. We do carry some 2" long 1/2" wheel studs, but I am sorry to say we do not have anything with a 0.56" spline diameter. What we have has either a 0.54" spline like part #DE52GR, or a 0.61"…
