The reason is, weight ratings are determined by the lowest-rated component, which can be something other than the axle, like the trailer chassis, for example. So you would need to ensure via the trailer manufacturer what the lowest-rated component is. With that said, in order...

  • I have an answer for you. Unfortunately, there are no available bracket kits that will allow you to attach a Westin Sportsman Grille Guard to your 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD.
