  • Width of Westin Outlaw Nerf Step Bars for 2019 Ram 1500 Crew Cab
  • You are correct that the 2" mentioned in the description of the Westin Outlaw Nerf Step Bars # 58-54085 is for the diameter of the pipe surrounding the tread, or plate. The complete width of each Outlaw Nerf Step Bar is 4-3/4". I confirmed this with my contact at Westin. Please note that this is designed to fit a 2019 Ram 1500 with the Crew Cab. If you have a different cab length or vehicle please let me know and I'd be happy to let you know what Outlaw Nerf Step Bars fit your vehicle.

  • Dimensions of the Let's Go Aero ArcHaus Tent Shelter SAR024
  • I attached the dimensions for the tent part # SAR024 that you referenced. Sorry for any confusion but they call the length 10 feet but I would probably call that width like you too. The "width" then would be 6 feet with the height being 6'6".

  • Where Does Curt Fifth Wheel Rail Kit # C16306-204 Install in 2017 Ram 1500 Short Bed
  • When installing the Curt fifth wheel rail kit part # C16306-204 in your 2017 Ram 1500 with a short bed you'll want the rear rail edge to measure 29 inches from the rear edge of the truck's bed. Once you have that rail placed you'll then use the fifth wheel hitch to place the front rail. Basically you locate the rear rail where it needs to go and then set a fifth wheel hitch in the rear rail and then use the mounting tabs of the hitch to place the front rail. This ensures that the hitch...

  • Can Air Lift 1000 Air Helper Springs for Ram 1500 Replace Firestone Coil-Rite 4175 for 2019 VW Atlas
  • The Air Lift 1000 Heavy Duty Air Helper Springs # AL60828HD have a height of 12-1/2" and width of 6". These are designed to fit the 2019-2022 Ram 1500. The Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs # F4175 fit select years of the Volkswagen Atlas, Beetle, Jetta, Passat, Lincoln MKC, and Nissan Rogue. These are not interchangeable. It looks like you have a 2019 VW Atlas. If that is the case, the only custom fit option is the # F4175. If you have a 2021 Ram 1500 then the # AL60828HD would...

  • Dimensions For Reese Square Tube Slider For 5TH Wheel Hitches # RP30045

The front to back bolt holes are 4" on center for this slider and each side bracket is 3" wide at the mounting holes. The hitch will drop into the industry standard rails at the 20-1/2" wide by 22" front to back mounting locations. I have attached a picture that will help you see the measurement points.

  • Does SuperCoils Kit for 2020 Ram 1500 Increase Towing Capacity of Truck
  • This is a good question, but the overall weight capacity of a vehicle does not increase necessarily when going with stiffer springs like with the part # SSC-51 that you mentioned. You do get additional suspension support which means the suspension would sag less when carrying weight that still falls within the capacity of the vehicle but since overall weight capacity is based on several other things like frame strength, brakes, transmission, wheels/tires, cooling system, etc. you don't...

  • Using Hitch Extender With Weight Distribution
  • Using an extender such as the Brophy # ST18 might be possible, but it will depend on the tongue weight capacity of the hitch on your truck. Using the extender will lower the hitch weight capacity by 1/3, so you'll want to find the ID label on the hitch which lists it weight distribution towing and tongue weight capacities. If 2/3 of the hitch towing and tongue weight capacity isn't less than the 360 lb tongue weight of the trailer, then using the extender would be okay. If the trailer's...

  • Determining Weight Distribution System Requirements Based on Trailer Loaded Tongue Weight
  • It is often possible to swap out just the weight-rated parts of a weight distribution/sway control (WD/SC) system when you change trailers, meaning the spring bars. The shank, head and frame brackets can often be re-used. Shanks do carry weight ratings, which should be observed, of course, but heads and frame brackets do not have specific ratings. But before you buy any new bars you will want to confirm the R-Pod's actual measured tongue weight (TW) when you have it fully loaded for a...

  • Can the Draw-Tite Front Hitch Receiver for a 2016 Ram 1500 Move 3,000 lb Boat Trailer
  • As long as the tongue weight of your 3,000 lb boat trailer doesn't exceed the 500 lb tongue weight rating of the Draw-Tite # 65062 then this will work great for your 2016 Ram 1500. I recommend using a cover like the Draw-Tite QSP # 63080 or Skid Shield # 6771 to help protect the front receiver when not in use. If you use the skid shield then I also recommend using a locking hitch pin like part # e98880 to help deter theft.

  • Can Brophy Cable Camper Jacks Work if Camper Only Extends Out 1 inch
  • The lift brackets of the Brophy Tripod Camper jacks part # CJ41 extend out from the upright mast the same distance as the feet of the tripods. So as long as the camper extends out past the tires like you said yours did this would work although clearances would be pretty tight for you since it's only 1 inch.

  • Is There a Way to Increase Distance Between Hitch and Trailer for Tailgate Clearance
  • Since hitch extenders cut the capacity of the hitch they are installed in by 50 percent a better solution would be a longer ball mount like the # EA40 which is 14-5/8 inches from pin hole to ball hole and would most likely give you the extra clearance you'd need to be able to lower your tailgate when towing and not hit the trailer jack.

  • What Width Leaf Spring Does Dexter EZ Flex Equalizer # K71-655-00 Work With
  • The Dexter EZ Flex equalizer part # K71-655-00 was designed to work with the standard 1-3/4 inch wide leaf spring. Your current equalizer distance of 7-3/4 inches from one hole center to the other is a match for this kit and means it would fit and work well.
