  • Front Mount Hitch Recommendation for 2017 Ford F-150
  • For your 2017 Ford F-150 4 wheel drive we do have the Curt front hitch part # C31083 that's a confirmed fit and would work well. It has a 9,000 lb line pull rating and a 500 lb vertical load limit as well.

  • Can the Jaws on the Curt E16 5th Wheel Hitch Be Adjusted
  • The slide bar locking jaw on the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16115 is not adjustable. Unfortunately, the play that you have between the slide bar and kingpin is common with the slide bar locking jaw system as they just don't grip the kingpin as tightly. The play between the slide bar and kingpin is not really a security concern but it will attribute to excessive chucking. The option I have for you to grip the kingpin tighter which will in turn reduce chucking is to switch...

  • Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendation for 2018 Ford Focus
  • For your 2018 Ford Focus the trailer hitch I recommend is the Curt part # C11158 for if you have a Sedan, Hatchback S, SE, or Titanium. This hitch has a concealed crosstube which makes them much less visible than most hitches. I attached an install video link and picture to this page for you to check out as well. For a bike rack I really like the Saris SuperClamp EX part # SA4025F. This is a platform bike rack that only touches the bike at the tires and only weighs 35 lbs.The biggest...

  • How to Determine What Axle is on Trailer to Pick Out Torflex Lift Kit
  • You can check the plate near the coupler of the trailer that has the VIN and GVWR rating info and the axles should be listed there. Or you can check the axles themselves and they are typically labelled with brand info etc. The Torflex Lift Kit # K71-723-01 that you referenced would require the axle to be the #9 Torflex axles with a 2,000-lb capacity. This will lift the trailer 2-5/8 inches.

  • Recommended Locking 5th Wheel Tailgate for 2019 Ford F-250 Truck
  • The fifth wheel tailgate I strongly recommend for your 2019 Ford F-250 is the Stromberg Carlson 4000 Series 5th Wheel Louvered Tailgate # VG-15-4000 because of its strength, durability and locking feature. This tailgate is constructed from a composite material which ensures it is highly durable and resistant to corrosion. The design is louvered, which means it is not a single piece it has spaces which allow air to go through it. This design improves air flow which means your '19 F-250...

  • Best SumoSprings for 2018 Ford F-150 With Light Load
  • The SumoSprings I recommend for a light load on your 2018 Ford F-150 are the SumoSprings # SSR-117-40 because they work progressively to keep your vehicle level and give you a smoother ride . The SumoSprings are made of a microcellular urethane which compresses independently and has a 1,000 lb capacity which allows them to reduce body roll and sway as well as keep your truck level whether you are carrying a load of 1,000 lbs or 250 lbs. These springs are very easy to install, as you...

  • Recommended Best/Better Air Spring Suspension Enhancement for 2012 Ford F-350 Dually 4x4
  • With your 2012 Ford F-350 Dually 4x4 you are most likely towing some big loads. My recommendation is to use the Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle # AL57596 for the greatest load leveling support or the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Springs w/ Internal Bumpers # AL88396. Either of these options are custom fit for your vehicle and are compatible with in-bed hitches in case you will be using them with a gooseneck or 5th wheel. I also recommend using a...

  • What Size Rhino-Rack Fairing is Recommended for 2018 Ford Focus with Rhino Rack Roof Rack
  • The best length fairing will be the one that fits between the feet of the roof rack without going over. While your # RRRF2 may look too short at first glance with your Rhino Rack roof rack part # RR78MR it should still work really well. The next size up would most likely overhang past the feet and it's better to be a little short than too long.

  • Parts Needed to Add a 7-Way and 4-Way to Rear of 2018 Ford F-150
  • The first thing you'd need is the 7-way kit part # 118283 which will plug into the trailer wiring port you have at the rear of your truck. And then to convert that to a 7-way and 4-way you'd replace the included socket of this kit with the part # 74682 and you'd have a fully functional 7-way and 4-way for your truck.

  • How To Convert Military M105A2 From Air Over Hydraulic to Hydraulic with New Coupler
  • The Titan Zinc-Plated, A-Frame Brake Actuator part # T4045500 is designed for a standard 50 degree a-frame trailer which is most common so if this is what you have then it will work well. That said, you'd need to remove the air over hydraulic actuator and run brake lines back to each of the braking assemblies with the HydraStar Hydraulic Brake Line Kit part # HS496-151.

  • Recommended Weight Distribution For 33 Camper Trailer That Weighs 9000lbs W/ 900lb Tongue Weight
  • It really comes down to how much sway you are expecting when towing your 33' Camper that weighs 9000lbs with 900lbs tongue weight. If you have minimal sway without a weight distribution the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control # FA92-00-1200 you were looking at that works with total tongue weights ranging from 800-1200lbs would be a great option as a fantastic weight distribution system for the price. With that said the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point...

  • Recommended Suspension Enhancement for 2017 Ford F-150 with 3 of Sag When Towing 5th Wheel
  • It sounds like you're getting quite a bit of squat when you're towing, which is not uncommon and easily corrected with a suspension enhancement. I recommend using the Sumo Springs Solo Custom Helper Springs # SSR-117-47 (4wd truck) or # SSR-116-47 (2wd), which will do a great job of helping correct sag and sway when your 5th wheel is connected. I also really like that these don't affect your unloaded ride quality because they're progressively loading, so they're only going to engage when...

  • Front Mounted Hitch and Bike Rack for 2011 Ford F-250 Super Duty
  • I absolutely have some suggestions on what you will need for a front-mounted hitch and bike rack for your 2011 Ford F-250, and let's start with the hitch. The best option by far is going to be from Draw-Tite because it has the best bumper clearance for your F-250 to help keep the bikes and rack away from your front bumper/grill. The hitch that fits your '11 F-250 is the following: - Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 65049 Then for a bike rack, it is important for the right...

  • Recommended Pin Lock for Trailer Coupler
  • The Bulldog Lifelong Trailer Coupler Lock part # BD580403 is an excellent option to secure a trailer. It will prevent the trailer from being coupled as well as preventing the trailer from being uncoupled. The ball-bearing design really makes for a smooth action and operation. Atwood is no longer in business.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For 1963 Ford Econoline Van
  • I have another option for you, but at this time there is not a custom fit trailer hitch receiver offered for your 1963 Ford Econoline Van, Instead you will need to a universal trailer hitch receiver like the Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Service Body Trailer Hitch Receiver # 41990-16 and fabricate the brackets to fit the frame of your van. The brackets can be bolted or welded to the frame at your discretion. I included a video of the # 41990-16 for you to take a look at.

  • Recommended Tow Mirrors For 2018 Ford F-150 Platinum
  • For your 2018 Ford F-150 Platinum I recommend the CIPA Custom Towing Mirrors # CM11550 which are custom made to slip over your mirrors while still allowing you to use your factory mirror functions like turn signals, puddle lamps, LED spotlights, and BSDS camera. I included a video of the # CM11550 being installed on a 2018 Ford F-150 for you to take a look at.

  • Bak Tonneau Cover that Can Fit 2019 Ford F-250 Short Bed with TracRac Sliding Ladder Rack
  • There is a BAK tonneau cover that fits your 2019 Ford F-250 short bed with the Revolver part # BAK99ZR that can also fit with a TracRac sliding ladder rack like # TH43003XT-785 but the MX4 would interfere with the base rails and it couldn't open properly.

  • Drop Shank for 2-1/2 inch Hitch that Can be Used with Blue Ox Weight Distribution
  • All of the weight distribution manufacturers have made their shank dimensions to the same standard size which means you can swap brands of shanks without issue. So since you need more drop and have a 2-1/2 inch hitch size the # C17132 would be a really great option.
