• Installation of Roadmaster Brake Lite Relay on 2016 Jeep Wrangler JK for Supplemental Braking System
• The SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System - Proportional # SM99251 when used on your 2016 Jeep JK will override the turn signal on your Jeep so you will need to add the # RM-88400 relay Kit. I've attached a couple of videos to help. It will be slightly easier to install the relay kit first simply because less parts are installed, but you wouldn't hurt anything installing in the other order.

• What Size Socket Works with 1 Inch Spindle Castle Nut # 165686?
• The TruRyde Spindle Nut # 165686 has an outer measurement of 1.45 inches. You will use a 1-1/2 inch socket on this castle nut or we usually use a channel lock for these installations. I've attached a video of an installation of a hub to assist. You don't want to torque these down tight as you do want to have slight movement and the cotter pin will keep it in place.
