view full answer... - Rollers to Carry Raft on Modified Trailer
- The way the Ladder Roller for Rhino-Rack Heavy-Duty Crossbars # RR1500 works is that the top bracket mounts into the t-tracks of your bars and roller is on the side. That means they can't be flipped upwards since there are no t-tracks on the side of the bar that they can clamp onto if the bar was mounted traditionally like it would be on a roof rack.
If you're modifying a boat trailer though, you might be interested in Boat Trailer Standard Roller Bunks # DL21755. These can attach to mounting...

- The Rhino Rack Four Crossbar Kit with parts # RRVA180S-4, # RRRLTPFC-4, # RRVA-FK1-4 does not involve drilling to install into the fixed mounting points on your 2021 Ford Transit T350.

- Since the mounting flange of the Lippert Smart Jack Electric Trailer Jack w/ Footplate # LC643589 is a triangle and not a square you can't mount it perfectly at a 90 degree angle if you were to rotate it but you certainly could if you wanted to. Since two of the mounting holes are slotted there is some wiggle room in how it can attach too. I am not sure what Chris meant by it not being a clean install though as it would work just fine.
Torque specs will be based on the size and grade...

- Our installation techs typically mount the compressor from a system like the Air Command II Compressor System w F3 Wireless Remote, Xtreme Duty Compressor, Tank, Hose - Dual # F2592 on the frame rails of the truck. These systems are designed to withstand the elements and the frame rail keeps enough debris from the vents that it won't affect the operation of it as long as you're not taking the truck through heavy mud and not cleaning it off.

- If you do not know the key number, your best alternative is to have a locksmith open the lock for you. I do not recommend trying to drill the lock out, as it is highly likely that the box would be damaged.
Once the lock is unlocked, you can use your control key to remove the lock core. If you no longer have the control key, we offer them as part # Y8007835. The key number will be engraved on the side of the lock cylinder. Once the key number is known, you can order a replacement key.

view full answer... - How to Set Up the Correct Amount of Chain Links for Installing a Weight Distribution System
- How many links get used when installing a weight distribution system really depends on the tongue weight of the trailer. Basically you set up a WD system so that the tow vehicle sits as level as possible when loaded.
Changing the amount of links used (or the angle of the WD head), allow the system to apply more or less spring bar tension on the setup. You want to apply the correct amount so that the tow vehicle sits as level as possible. You won't want to use less than 6 links. For more...
