Detailed Breakdown of the Buyers Products Weld-On Safety Chain Retainer For 5/16" Chain Video

I am not aware of a bolt-on version of the Buyers Products Weld-On Safety Chain Retainer part #3375471000. However, if all you were wanting to do is mount your safety chains to the tongue of your trailer then you will just simply do so by running a…

The best solution for your Ford F-150 is to get two of the Durabilt Hammerlock Coupling Link for 1/2" Chain #DU96MR. This style of link is a little difficult to install but it's very secure and is designed specifically for the size of chain…

For the Buyers Products 3/8" x 35" Class 4 Trailer Safety Chain w/ Clevis Hook #337B03835SC I recommend using either the Buyers Products Safety Chain Clip #337SC38B or Buyers Products Weld-On Safety Chain Retainer For 3/8" Chain…

I definitely understand how safety chain capacities and determining exactly what chain rating you need for your trailer can be a bit confusing. To keep it as simple as possible, safety chain requirements state that the breaking strength of EACH…

Torque specs for wheel lug nuts will vary depending on the diameter of the lugs, type of lug nut and the wheel's material. The linked chart details the recommended torque for many combinations. Dexter Hub/Drum #84546UC3 has 1/2-inch studs and…

On the inboard side of the Timbren Silent Ride Suspension #TSR7000T05 there are two flanges that have two slotted bolt holes on them. That is where the crossmember attaches. Each axle would be rated for 7k so with this you would have 14k of axle…

For a 12,000 lb. electric car trailer winch like the Bulldog Winch Trailer Winch part #BDW10040, I recommend a standard 12 volt lead acid battery rated up to at least 650 cold cranking amps (CCA). As long as the battery is rated up to 650 CCA then…

Since LED lights do not require a lot of amperage you can go with relatively small wire. Using 16 or 18 gauge wire will be fine. Harness #A20WB uses 20 gauge wire which is on the small side but certainly not a problem at all for LED lights even…

The safety chains you choose need to be able to handle at least 12,000 lbs so the #337B03835SC wouldn't work for your trailer. You also need to choose a length that allows you to cross the chains and also be able to make sharp turns. The best way…
