Hey Vadim, you can upgrade your Rack and Roll trailer to the longer bars with the part # Y08111 like you are wanting to without having to worry about changing the wiring at all. The current wiring of your trailer would work fine.

Hey Vadim, how did the upgrade to the 78" crossmember kit go on your Rack and Roll trailer? It’d be great to hear if the wiring matched up just as expected. Your update could make it easier for others looking to do the same upgrade.
