  • What is Needed to Flat Tow a 2014 Ford F-150 STX
  • Every flat-towed vehicle requires the same 5 components: base plates, a tow bar, safety cables, wiring, and a braking system. For your 2014 F-150 STX I suggest the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit with removable arems, # 495-1A. These crossbar-style hidden brackets attach to your Ford F-150's frame to provide attachment points for your tow bar. The visible portions of the brackets can be removed when you are not towing. The square drawbars, or front arms, on the crossbar-style...

  • Best Rear Suspension Enhancement Option for Body Roll, Sway and Porposing on 2019 Ford F-150
  • Both the TorkLift # TLA7310S Stainless StableLoad and the RAS # RAS3611-Y would absolutely help with the body roll in turns, porpoising and sway caused by crosswinds. Both systems are very highly rated by our customers. I'd agree that air helper springs work best on loads carried in the truck bed. Although I don't have head to head testing to provide you with, I'd recommend going with the StableLoad. The system can be easily engaged and disengaged using a ratchet and extension. The system...

  • Propane Tank Fill Adapter/Hose for Filling 5 Gallon Tank with 150 Gallon Main Tank
  • I called my contact at Camco and asked about a hose with the correct fittings that will work for you. If the fitting on your 150-gallon tank is the same size as the fitting found on your 5-lb portable tanks, then the hose I recommend for you is part # CAM59043. This is a 12-ft long hose with a 1-inch female adapter on one end and a 1-inch male adapter on the other. For a similar hose assembly but 5-ft long the hose you want is part # CAM59045

  • Is Spacer Needed for 1 inch Body Lift with Air Lift Suspension Kit on 2013 Ford F-150
  • Sounds like you have a 1 inch body lift on your truck. If this is the case our Air Lift kit part # AL57200 would fit without needing a lift spacer. If you happened to have a suspension lift you most likely would not need a spacer block either. Air Lift actually does not make a spacer block in a 1 inch increment anyway. In general with suspension lifts you have to use a spacer block since the distance between the frame and axle is increased. Since body lifts don't add anything there spacer...

  • Should I Choose a Proportional or a Time Delayed Brake Controller for my 2008 Ford F-150 and Camper
  • The proportional is with out a doubt the way to go. It provides better braking performance in all ways compared to the older time delayed technology. It will apply the brakes proportionally or similar to what the vehicle is doing. During emergency braking it applies them quite quickly in a normal stop they are more gentle and will stop applying them at stops. A time delayed controller applies the brakes the same every time regardless of the situation. this can lead to not enough braking...

  • Installing Brake Controller on 2007 Ford F-150 without Trailer Wiring
  • The brake controller install port you found under the dash of your 2007 Ford F-150 is active and will be used to install a brake controller like the Brake EVN part # TK63VR with an install harness like the # 3035-P.

If you check out the help article I attached to this page you'll see how to...

  • Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier for a 2017 Ford F-150 with Panoramic Roof
  • Yakima has a roof rack option that will fit models of the 2017 Ford F-150 that have the panoramic roof. Keep in mind though they state not to open a sunroof or panoramic roof because they may interfere with some accessories. If you have a Super Crew Cab or SuperCab you can use bars # Y00426, BaseLine towers # Y28TR, and 2 sets of clips # Y06122. There isn't an option for the regular cab (if the panoramic roof was even an option for the regular cab models). A popular kayak carrier that...

  • Will Longer Chains be Needed When Swapping to Higher Rated Spring Bars
  • It's harder to say for sure if you'd need longer chains, but most likely if you are using all 9 links of your current chains you'd have to go with a longer chain like the # 58364 that you referenced. The stiffer spring bars will require more links than what you currently have as you won't have to engage them quite as much most likely so it really depends on how many links you are currently using. That said, it's also really almost impossible to say how many links you end up using.

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch and Rail Kit for a Chevy C60 Flatbed
  • The Curt Universal Fifth Wheel Base Rails with Installation Kit part # C16100 has rails which are exactly 43" long end to end.

For this, I recommend the Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # RP30033 which has height...

  • How Does LED Work Light # UCL24CFB Wire
  • The LED Work Light # UCL24CFB that you referenced wires in pretty easily. The red wire gets 12 volts positive and the black wire goes to a ground and it will light up. You'd want to use a switch like the part # D16740 so that you can switch it off and on as needed. Basically you'd need to wire the switch inline with either the power or ground wire and you'd be set.

  • Adding a 5-Way Flat Trailer Connector to a 2008 Ford F-150 with 4-Way Flat Connector
  • Wiring harness # C56515 is primarily for GM vehicles and will not fit a Ford truck. If you already have a 4-Way and need to have a 5-Way then the simplest solution is to use # 20036. All you have to do to get the 5th reverse function is to tap into the reverse light wire behind one of the reverse lights. The 4-Way will just plug in. I have linked a video to the right showing a typical installation for you.
