  • Converting to Electric Over Hydraulic Disc Brakes From Electric Brakes on Trailer With 7K Axles
  • There are a number of parts you will need to replace the electric drum brakes on your trailer, and though there is not an all-in-one kit I can let you know the parts you need, starting with a disc brake assembly to replace your current hub and drum. I contacted Lippert with the serial number from you axle and based off what they told me the the correct brake kit is the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit # K2HR712D which is for 7,000 lb axles and has an 8 on 6-1/2" bolt pattern for your wheels. These...

  • Available Replacement Hubs, Drums and Brakes for 3500-lbs Axle on 16 Foot Enclosed Trailer
  • I may have a solution for you, but you will want to confirm the bearings that are on your current hubs since I have encountered some AL-KO axles that are a little odd. All of our hub/drums for 3500-lbs axles use an # L44649 outer bearing and # L68149 inner bearing, so you can use a hub like the # AKHD-545-35-K if you've got a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern, which comes with the bearings, races and seals included. If you've got a different bolt pattern than that, I've linked our entire selection...

  • Is a Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch Necessary for a 2015 Ram 2500 with Short Bed
  • Great question! Technically you don't "need" a sliding 5th wheel hitch for your 2015 Ram 2500 but if you ever get into a tight turning situation you it is very likely that your 5th wheel trailer is going to make contact with the cab of your Ram. We have heard of customers that have been able to avoid those turning situations but we always recommend going with a sliding hitch or using a Sidewinder pin box that moves pivot point of your 5th wheel trailer back 22" (which is required if you...

  • Highest Capacity Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for 2022 Ram 3500 with OEM Prep Package
  • I recommend using the Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Ram Towing Prep Package - Single Jaw - 27,000 lbs # RP37FR since it's got the highest capacity available for your Ram 3500 and will fit right into the factory pucks in your truck bed. The Reese M5 has a 27,000-lbs capacity and the single hook jaw provides the best contact with the kingpin on your trailer, which translates to less rattle and better security than a slide bar jaw or 2 piece jaws. I've linked a short review video...

  • Recommended Mud Flaps to Fit a 2021 Ram 3500 Dually If Not WeatherTech Options Are Available
  • I may have a solution for you, but WeatherTech has not yet come up with a solution for the rear wheels on your 2021 Ram 3500 Dually if you don't have the fender flares on your truck. If you've got fender flares then the WeatherTech # WT52PV (front and back) or # WT87PR (rear) can be used on your 2021 Ram 3500 with dual rear wheels. If you don't have the fender flares you can use the MudSkins Mud Flaps # P28VR, which can be used on either the front or rear of your 2021 Ram 3500 with dual...

  • Do You Sell a Adapter Bar for Womens Bikes for the Yakima LongHaul 4 Bike RV Rack?
  • Even though the Yakima LongHaul 4 Bike RV Rack # Y02476 is designed in a way to reduce the need of adapter bars for women's, children's, or alternative bike frames, I recommend that you purchase the Kuat Ubar Bike Frame Adapter Bar for Women's and Alternative Frame Bikes # UB01. The spring-loaded bar ensures a solid fit on your bike, and polymer-coated push-button hooks protect your bike's paint.

  • Curt Goosneck Hitch Fit for 2021 Ram 3500
  • According to my contact in the Tech Services department at Curt, you'll need the # C60633 gooseneck hitch that bolts into the existing underbed bracket on your truck. The hitch includes the safety chain loops and goosneck ball, so you won't need the # C60618 kit you'd looked at.

  • Towing Gooseneck Trailer with 2019 Ram 2500 OEM 5th Wheel Prep Package and No Gooseneck Receiver
  • The Curt Custom Underbed OEM-Style Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # C60633 isn't compatible since your 2019 Ram 2500 has the OEM prep package, but I do have an alternative solution for you. This involves using the Reese 5th Wheel Rail Adapter # RP30154 to give your pickup industry standard base rails, and then the Curt Above-Bed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # 16055 or Curt Spyder # 16085 so that you have a hitch ball. This won't sit as low as the OEM-Style gooseneck hitch you were looking at (the...

  • Which Slideout Toppers Do I Need for My 2020 Keystone Raptor 429
  • When choosing a slide out topper you'll want to make sure that it extends 2-1/2" to either side of the slide out so that it provides sufficient coverage to keep the slide out clear from water and debris. I've listed the toppers you'll want to use for your 79", 73-1/4" and 116-1/2" slide outs below. for 79" Slideout Awning- # LCV000168105 (7-ft wide) for 73-1/4" Slideout Awning- # LCV000165063 (6-1/2-ft wide) for 116-1/2" Slideout Awning- # LCV000182037 (10-1/2 ft wide)

  • Which Tonneau Cover for 2020 Ram 1500 Classic Can Be Used with Thule TracRac SR
  • There is only one tonneau cover that we have determined as a compatible with the Thule TracRac SR and that is the BAKFlip Revolver Series. Which TracRac and tonneau cover you will need depends on the length of the bed. Assuming that you've got an 8 foot long bed then you would want to use the TracRac SR # TH43003XT-000 and the BAKFlip Revolver X4s # BAK74ZR. This would give you a good looking rollup cover that acts as a hard cover when it's rolled down, so your truck bed will be more secure....

  • Timbrens Or SumoSprings For A 2022 Ram 1500 To Help With Sag While Towing Travel Trailer
  • When choosing between The Timbren Rear Suspension # TDR1500DS and The SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SSR-307-47 for your 2022 Ram 1500. I would recommend The Sumo Springs # SSR-307-47 over the Timbrens. Neither will completely eliminate sag and not will completely eliminate sag but the SumoSprings will offer the same quality as the Timbrens in terms of suspension support, but will not give you as harsh as a ride that the Timbrens would. The SumoSprings initial engagement is lighter...

  • Recommend SumoSprings Black For For A 2022 Ram 2500

These springs have a 1,500 pound axle capacity and will allow you to upgrade your Ram 2500's rear suspension. The springs are made out of a microcellular urethane and have chushioned bumps that help support heavy loads to help level your ride and minimize sway.

  • No, The Bargman 5th Wheel/Gooseneck 90-Degree Wiring Harness for Aluminum Truck Bed # 54701-009-010 will not fit your 2022 Ram 2500.

  • Should I Use the Air Lift 1000 Air Bags If I've Already Got a Weight Distribution Hitch
  • Yes. A weight distribution hitch is always a great solution for helping re-distribute the tongue weight of your trailer over both axles of your 2016 Ram 1500, but there are instances where the tongue weight is still causing some sag. When this occurs, or you just want a second layer of support, adding an air bag like the Air Lift 1000 # AL60818HD to your rig is a great choice. These air bags work to help provide support to your coil spring suspension and just give you a little extra help...
