  • Why Would Lifting Trailer Suspension Potentially Void Trailer Warranty
  • When you lift a trailer you potentially change the suspension geometry which might affect handling characteristics. So based on that it sounds like Lance would want to void the warranty of the camper. It would be like installing a lift kit on a truck and then trying to have a suspension issue after that claimed as a warranty fix. That said, we've not had anyone install a lift on their trailer and then come back and tell us their trailer handled poorly.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2001 Suzuki Grand Vitara Behind an RV
  • I checked a few resources and it appears that you can flat tow your 2001 Suzuki Grand Vitara automatic 4x4 behind an RV. But you will want to check the vehicle owner's manual to confirm and for additional information on procedures. If you determine your model can be flat towed then you will need base plates, a tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking. For base plates you can use Roadmaster set # 1011-3. For a compatible tow bar you can use the popular Falcon 2 # RM-520....

  • Cover Recommendation for 1987 Suzuki Samurai and 2720 Trail Manor
  • You qukk need a car cover for your 1987 Suzuki Samurai but we do not carry car covers. When your 2720 Trail Manor is closed the length is 20 foot 3 inches so for a cover the Adco Tyvek All Climate Cover part # 290-12252 would fit and work well. This works great basically in all climates and is the correct size for your pop up as well.

  • Long Ball Mount Recommendation for a 2011 Suzuki Grand Vitara and 2013 Rockwood A122S
  • For your 2011 Suzuki Grand Vitara and Curt hitch # C13001 you can use any ball mount rated for a Class III, 2 inch trailer hitch. The recommended ball mount for the hitch and vehicle is # D-4 and it measures 8-1/2 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the ball hole. For a longer ball mount with the same 3/4 inch rise and 2 inch drop you can go with # D-4 which measures 10-1/4 inches long. Ball mount # D-26 is 12-5/8 inches long. And finally there is # BM20 which...

  • Curt Trailer Wiring Harness Recommendation for a 2011 Suzuki Equator
  • The Curt Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring # 56087 that you referenced will work on your Suzuki Equator even if you do not have the tow package. This product plugs in line with your tail light harness on your vehicle and is not dependent on whether or not you have a tow package. The easiest way to determine if your vehicle has a tow package would be to contact a Suzuki dealership and give them your VIN number, from that they should be able to tell if you have the tow package. Typically, tow packages...

  • Recommended Bike Rack for a 2005 Suzuki Grand Vitara With a Spare Tire on the Rear
  • The Malone RunWay 3 Bike Rack, # MPG2148, will work well on your 2005 Suzuki Grans Vitara's spare tire. The Malone rack will adjust to a variety of different width tires. The rack is light weighing just 13 lbs and can carry 3 bikes with each bike weighing up to 33 lbs each. If you will be carrying a woman's, child's or an alternative frame bike that does not have the top cross tube, then I recommend the Kuat Ubar Bike Adapter, # UB01. This adapter bar will allow you to hang these types...

  • Does Americana High Pressure Valve Stem AM20904 Work With Aluminum Trailer Wheels?
  • The Americana High Pressure Rubber Snap-In Valve Stem - 1-1/2" Long - Up to 80 psi # AM20904 fits any trailer wheel with a rim hole diameter of .453", which is the most common, so it will work just fine in your aluminum trailer wheels. The # AM20904 works with air pressure up to 80 PSI making it perfect for heavier duty tires like the load range E tires you mentioned. I included a video of the # AM20904 for you to take a look at.

  • Trailer Hitch, Ball Mount, Hitch Ball, and Trailer Wiring for a 2008 Suzuki XL7
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch # 13518 for the 2008 Suzuki XL7 will have visible cross tubing beneath the rear of the vehicle. Based on where the mounting locations are on the vehicle, the hitch had to be designed accordingly and that is why there is visible cross tubing. It doesn't look bad, it is tucked right under the bumper. I attached an installation video for you to see how it installs and to see the finished product. If you plan on doing some towing the recommended ball mount is # C45010...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2005 Suzuki Forenza Sedan
  • The Blue Ox base plate kit part # BX3521 only fits the sedan models of the 2005 Suzuki Forenza. We actually don't have any kits that fit the wagon models. In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. One of the most popular compatible tow bars is the Blue Ox Avail # BX7420 which comes with safety cables. The coiled design helps keep the cables off of the ground. For lighting you can...

  • Base Plates and Accessories to Flat Tow a 1997 Suzuki Sidekick
  • In order to flat tow the vehicle, you would need the tow bar, base plates, wiring for the vehicle tail lights, safety cables and a supplemental braking system, depending on the state you were planning on towing the vehicle through. Since you already have a tow bar, you would start with a base plate. Blue Ox does not offer a base plate kit that is compatible with a 2WD 4 door model Sidekick, but there is a Roadmaster Base Plate Kit, part # 1007-2 that will work, as long as your Sidekick...

  • Electric Brake Controller Recommendation for a 1997 Beaver Monterey
  • Yes you can install an electric brake controller on your vehicle. As long as there is a stop light circuit that you can tap into (there will be) then you can install a brake controller on basically any vehicle. For vehicles like yours this is a very common solution for towing a trailer with electric brakes. Typically controllers that adapt your brake style to electric brakes are pretty expensive and no more effective than a good proportional controller like the P3 part # 90195 that you...

  • What Size Bolts Come with the Curt Hitch 13518
  • The included mounting hardware of the Curt hitch part # 13518 are 12mm-1.75 X 30mm Cl 10.9 Hex head bolts. All of the hardware is included with the hitch. The torque rating for all of the installation hardware that comes with the # 13518 that you referenced is listed in the install instructions that I attached in a link to the right. Since we link the instructions directly from the manufacturer and they are subject to change we avoid posting the torque figures for liability purposes. For...

  • Flat-Towing Components For 1999 Suzuki Grand Vitara
  • I was unable to find the information about flat-towing your 1999 Suzuki Grand Vitara, so you will need to check your owner's manual or with your dealership to see first if the vehicle can be towed and if there are restrictions when towing. On most vehicles that have 4wd and 2wd, there will be a switch in the vehicle that allows you to go from one to the other. This should be in the owner's manual as well. If you are unable to find that information I recommend contacting your dealership. If...

  • Spare Tire Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for 2002 Subaru Grand Vitara
  • According to my Hollywood Racks representative, their # HRSR1 is a confirmed fit, but you'd want to remove the spare tire cover first. Their # HRSR2 Spare Tire mounted bike rack isn't a confirmed fit for your Grand Vitara. The # HRSR1 is the lowest cost alternative, but I personally don't care for the fact that the rack attaches to the spare tire using straps. Thule has confirmed that their Spare Time, part # TH963PRO is a fit. Yakima also confirms that their SpareTime, part # Y02599 is...

  • Is It Okay for Tow Bar To Be Higher Off Ground If Level
  • The important thing is that the tow bar stays level, or more specifically stays within the "Safe Zone" which is 3 inches above or below level. As long as you are able to get the curved tow bar within this range with the height of the hitch ball on your RV the actual height is not a big deal. To do this you will most likely need a high-low adapter like the Roadmaster # RM-048-8 on the RV. I have attached a great article that explains exactly how to choose the correct one for your setup....

  • Base Plate Kit Recommendation for a 1997 Suzuki Sidekick 4x4
  • If you have a 4 door non-Sport 1997 Suzuki Sidekick then you would want part # 1007-2, if you have a Sport model you instead would want the # 1009-1. These both would work great with your Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar # RM-520. We don't carry any used parts, but the two options I listed will work well for you. The removable arms you have now won't work with any of the base plate kits we offer for your vehicle as they are designed to only work on the base plates they were originally designed...

  • Blue Ox Base Plate Kit Recommendations for a 1994 Suzuki Sidekick
  • There are two options for Blue Ox base plates for your 1994 Suzuki Sidekick. If you have a 4-door 4 wheel drive model you would want the Blue Ox base plate kit part # BX3505. If you have a 2-door model you would want the # BX3503. For a tow bar you could go with the Blue Ox Alpha part # BX7380. This comes with safety chains. For lighting you can use the bulb and socket kit, # RM-155, and not have to worry about cutting and splicing into the vehicle wiring. And finally, most states...

  • Trailer Wiring Recommendation for a 2012 Suzuki Grand Vitara
  • It sounds like you are looking for a 7-way trailer connector for your 2012 Suzuki Grand Vitara. You will first want to start with a 4-way if you don't have one. For that you would want the Curt Wiring Harness # 56002 you were referring to. Now to convert it to a 7-way you will want the # 37185 if you don't have trailer brakes. Or part # ETBC7 plus a brake controller if you do have trailer brakes. This product comes with everything needed to convert the 4-way to a 7-way and install a brake...
