  • Differences In 5th Wheel Hitches For Short And Long Bed Trucks
  • Yes, there is a difference in hitches for an 8' bed on your 2022 Chevrolet Silverado like the B&W Companion # BWRVK3710, which is a fixed hitch. Fixed hitches are used primarily on long bed trucks, and sliding hitches like the Demco Hijacker # DM8550034 are used short bed trucks. The reason being is because, due to the shorter bed length, the hitch is installed closer to the cab, reducing the turning radius significantly, whereas, the long bed trucks install the hitch farther from the cab,...

  • Correct Tire Pressure for Kenda Karrier ST225/75R15 Load Range E Tires
  • Kenda recommends keeping the 225/75-15 Load Range E tires used on their # AM32680 wheel/tire combo fully inflated to the 80 psi listed on the tire sidewall, because the capacity of the tire is dependent on the air pressure. Some manufacturers, notably Goodyear with their Endurance trailer tires, has load tested their tires over several different air pressure levels, so at a given pressure the tire's capacity is known. Kenda only tests them at the maximum so if you were to run the tires...

  • Will Slip-On Towing Mirrors Scratch the Paint on 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 Factory Mirror
  • Although the CIPA Custom Towing Mirrors, # CM10950, and the Longview Custom Towing Mirrors, # LVT-1800, are very popular with our customers and scratching paint is not a common complaint, any time that you slide something across paint you do run the risk of a scratch. To considerably reduce the risk of scratches I recommend that you make sure that the towing mirror and factory mirror are clean and free of any debris. A good coat of wax on the painted surface of your mirrors will also help. These...

  • B&W Patriot Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch & Standard Width Trailers
  • That's a good question, so I reached out to my colleague about towing a very wide trailer with the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch with Slider # BWRVK3270. They said this bullet point wasn't specific to the Patriot and was a way of saying that the best way to get added turning clearance with a very wide trailer is to use an extended pin box like a Sidewinder as opposed to a sliding hitch. That said, there isn't any issue using the Patriot # BWRVK3270 with your standard-width trailer;...

  • Can I Transfer Air Brags From My 2012 Ram To My 2019 Silverado?
  • I do have a potential solution for you, but I am afraid we do not offer bracket kits which will allow you to re use your air bags. In this case, the Firestone Ride Rite kits for the 2012 Ram and the 2019 Chevy do use the same air bag (Firestone part 6401) , and just different brackets. So technically the bags themselves are cross compatible. Unfortunately we do not sell the brackets by themselves. The only solution we can offer is a completely new kit, air bags brackets and all. For a...

  • How to Prevent Tonneau Cover Water Leaks
  • The truth of the matter is that tonneau covers are not 100% leakproof. Do most of them, especially the higher quality ones like the # BAK39133 BAK Revolver X2 do a very good job of keeping the vast majority of the water out? Absolutely. Will they keep all the water out, especially in a continuous hard rain? Possibly not. Anyone who tells you that their tonneau cover will never leak isn't being completely honest with you. I've seen a $ 250.00 cover that you can drive through a car wash...

  • What Is The Purpose Of Steel band On Leaf Springs
  • The leaf springs are normally installed with the band forward of the axle, but it is not something that has to be done that way. The steel band is called the rebound clip. Their main purpose is to help keep the main leaf from breaking on a rebound. When the weight of a vehicle or trailer is on the spring, all of the leaves work together to support the spring above them. If the wheel drops for any reason the total weight of the axle falls on the main leaf if there are no rebound clips....

  • Durability of Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs With Heavy Winter Road Salt Exposure
  • Road salt and other materials often don't mix well but the Firestone kits we sell are made with very durable natural rubber compounds that resist the negative effects of salt exposure as well as heat and cold. I completely understand your concerns, having attended college in upstate NY (Oswego) where the term 'winter' can take on a whole new meaning! Firestone provides a Limited Lifetime Warranty on the actual rubber air springs in their kits, such as # F2709 which fits your truck so no...
