  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 1989 Ford F-250 XLT Lariat with Deep Drop Bumper
  • Thank you for the photo! What you have there is a deep drop or "cowboy" bumper. So, for a 2 inch trailer hitch that is confirmed to fit your 1989 Ford F-250 XLT Lariat with the deep drop bumper, I recommend the Curt # C15511. This 3-piece trailer hitch receiver is specially designed for heavy-duty towing. This is a multi fit hitch, so drilling is required to bolt it onto your truck's frame, but it will fit both 34 and 37-1/2 inch frames. It has a 15,000 lb towing capacity and a 1,500 lb...

  • Will The Furrion Vision S RV Camera System Work With A Trailer Pre-Wired For A Furrion System?
  • Yes if your camper is pre-wired for a Furrion camera system, then the: -Furrion Vision S Wireless RV Backup Camera System w/ Night Vision # FOS05TASF will work perfect for you! However, there should've been a plate or sticker on the camera housing on your trailer that will let you know that it is meant to be used with the Furrion Observation Camera. Attached is an installation video for you to check out as well.

  • Choosing a Hitch Pin That Fits 1988 Ford Hitch
  • Your 1988 Ford Hitch # C15300 has a Class V 2" hitch receiver. For a Class III, IV, and V trailer hitches, you will need to use a 5/8 inch diameter pin such as # e98881. If you are using this hitch with accessories and want an anti-rattle hitch lock, then # e99047 is a great option.

  • Can Hi-Rise Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter # 9480 be Used with 5th Airborne Pin Box
  • You can use the Hi-Rise Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter # 9480 with a 5th Airborne pin box as long as it is not a Sidewinder 5th Airborne pin box. So if you have # 5AB-E1621-610, which is a regular 5th Airborne pin box, it will work with # 9480. You mentioned a Un-A-Goose hitch which I have not heard of. If it is a Hide-A-Goose hitch then 9480 will work. But if not then the Hi-Rise is not confirmed as a fit for other models.

  • How to Determine Curt Hitch C15300 Clearance with Rear Skid Plate on 1987 Ford F-150
  • Curt Class V hitch # C15300 is a confirmed fit on your 1987 Ford F-150. To help you determine if it will be compatible with your skid plate I went to our warehouse and took a measurement of the hitch to find out the distance from the mounting brackets (that bolt to the bottom of your frame rails) down to the center of the crosstube. This dimension you can compare to your frame-to-skid plate dimension to see if the hitch will clear it. The photo I prepared for you shows that from the top...

  • Will the Derale Radiator Race Fan # D17420 Replace the Factory Fan in a 1988 Ford F-250
  • The Derale 20 Inch Race Fan, # D17420, has a 19-7/8 inch diameter so it will fit within your 22 inch shroud. One thing to keep in mind with this fan is that it is a race fan which means it will require you to remove your fan clutch as well. It is designed to pull more air as your engines RPMs increase and not to be regulated by a clutch. Removing the factory clutch will effect the length of the spacer that you need. Once you have the clutch removed, you will want to measure from the water...

  • Will Curt TruTrack Weight Distribution System Fit 1991 Ford F-150

This system comes with the adjustable shank and a 2-5/16 inch diameter chrome hitch ball. When choosing a weight distribution system, it is important to keep the trailer's tongue weight in mind.

  • There are a couple of things to consider to determine the correct under bed frame brackets for your 1991 Ford F-250 long bed. When it comes to rails there are 2 basic types out there: 10-bolt and 4-bolt rails. The 10-bolt rails will have mounting holes on the side flanges of the rails. The 4-bolt rails will only have holes on the top, center parts of the rails. If you have the 10-bolt rails then you would need installation kit # RP30439. If you have 4-bolt rails you will need installation...

  • Gooseneck Hitch for Flatbed 1985 Ford F-250 Truck
  • You can definitely add a gooseneck hitch to your 1985 Ford F-250 flatbed truck, it will simply require a gooseneck designed for that purpose. The hitch you will need is the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for Flatbed Trucks # BWGNRK1500. This hitch should be about flush with the bed, as you can see by the accompanying photo that a customer sent in of the hitch installed on their flatbed. The hitch does need to be welded to the bed so it is possible you may not need to...

  • Can I Use HappiJac Brackets With Another Brands Camper Jacks
  • We do not carry the Reico-Titan products so my research was more limited but after doing some research I was able to locate the installation instructions for the Reico-Titan Jacks. They have brackets listed specifically for the "C" clamp mounting style. I have included a picture from the installation instructions that shows how they attach. The Replacement L-Bracket # LC182492 paired with the Replacement Flat Bracket # LC182494 is going to be more comparable to the bracket style used in...

  • How To Determine Fit of the Derale Fan Spacer Kit for Belt-Driven Fans On a 1987 Ford F-150
  • I do have a way for you to confirm fit of the Derale Fan Spacer Kit for Belt-Driven Fans part # D31551 but I do not have any way to do this for you. Therefore, you will need to make sure the pilot hole on your water pump uses an 8mm bolt and that you have the proper room within your fan shroud (see photo). If you can confirm the above two then yes, it will work for you.

  • Will a Cushioned Ball Mount Work with Surge Trailer Brakes
  • The cushion inside of the Convert-A-Ball cushioned ball mount # AMSC4 would have only a slight affect on the surge coupler on your trailer. You may not even notice it. The cushion is very dense and the more pressure that is put on it the firmer it gets. It would take more force to compress that cushion than to actuate the surge coupler. Cushioned ball mount # AMSC4 has a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop but there are other options if you need a different rise or drop to tow the trailer level: #...

  • How Does Draw Tite Hitch for 1986 Ford F-350 Install
  • Our hitches that fit your 1986 Ford F-350 like the Draw Tite # 41904 install by attaching to the bottom of the frame and not above it. This is a pretty standard way for a hitch to install and is not overly difficult or time consuming.

  • B&W Gooseneck Hitch for a 1989 Ford F-350
  • The B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Custom Installation Kit # BWGNRM1319 that you referenced is for a Ram 1500 so it isn't compatible with your 1989 Ford F-350. Instead you want part # BWGNRK1110 if you have the Overload Springs or part # BWGNRK1100 if you don't have the Overload Springs. Please note that neither of these will fit if you have a Cab and Chassis or your F-350 has a 34" frame. Attached are some review videos and installation instructions for you to check out.

  • Replacement Fan Clutch and Blade For 1984 Ford F-250
  • I may have an option for you but Flex-A-Lite does not have a proper belt driven fan for the 1984 Ford F-250. You will need Derale Thermal Fan Clutch part # D22052 and one of the following fans depending on how much space you have available. 17" Fan part # D17117 18" Fan part # D17118 19" Fan part # D17119 20" Fan part # D17120

  • Is DeeZee Truck Bed Mat # DZ86645 Custom Fit for 1980-1986 Ford F-150/250/350
  • I checked with DeeZee and verified that the Truck Bed Mat # DZ86645 you referenced is custom designed and confirmed to fit a 7th generation (1980-1986) Ford F-Series pickup as long as it has the 8 foot bed. As you mentioned in your question the exact bed dimensions differ a bit for the F-Series through the model years this mat is designed to fit but the differences simply haven't been enough to cause any type of issue with regards to it matching up to the size and contours of the bed surface....

  • Is Drilling Required to Install Trailer Hitch on 1989 Ford F-350 Super Duty Truck
  • All trailer hitches that fit your 1989 Ford F-350 are going to require drilling, and I also wanted to note that the Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Trailer Hitch # 41952 will not fit your truck; it is designed to fit mid-2010's Ram 3500-5500 cab and chassis. All trailer hitches that do fir your '89 F-350 are going to require drilling, and for a hitch that fits your F-350, a heavy-duty option similar to the one you referenced is going to be from B&W, and will depend on if your '89 F-350 pick-up has...
