  • Roof Rack Recommendation for 2019 Nissan Maxima for Kayak Carrier
  • The roof rack I recommend for your 2019 Nissan Maxima is the custom fit Rhino Rack roof rack part numbers # RRVA126B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK133 because this rack gives you a set of aero shaped crossbars which will be super quiet, is easy to install, and because this rack is a higher quality rack that costs less than similar quality racks. I attached an install video for this rack as well as a picture of it installed for you to check out as well. For a kayak carrier I recommend the Yakima...

  • Malone Roof Rack Recommendation for 2018 Nissan Rogue with Raised Side Rails
  • Malone does offer a roof rack similar to the one you referenced as a confirmed fit for your 2018 Nissan Rogue if it had side rails. The only way to get those rails added to your vehicle though would be through a Nissan dealer. For a rack to attach to the rails that you'd want the part # MPG216 for 58 inch crossbars or # MPG217 for 65 inch. The kit you mentioned is shorter at 50 inch and is not recommended. The install is pretty simple actually and I think you'd have no problem with it....

  • Recommended Support Strap for a Cargo Carrier
  • We do have the support strap you need for a cargo carrier, and it definitely isn't 20 feet long. I recommend the Curt Cam Buckle Stabilizing Strap for Hitch-Mounted Accessories # 18050. This strap is 61" long in total; I have added a link to a video review as well, and if you go to about the 2:00 mark you can see the strap being used on a cargo carrier.

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for 2018 Nissan Titan XD with Factory Gooseneck
  • For your 2018 Nissan Titan XD that is equipped with the factory gooseneck I highly recommend the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16540-16026 for a few reasons. This particular hitch features an interlocking 2-jaw locking system that will provide a secure connection to the trailer while also reducing movement and rattle during travel. Its fully articulating torsion head allows for an extremely smooth ride and the 3-Point indicator system is a unique feature that eases hookup by using...

  • Ladder Rack Recommendation For 2021 Nissan Frontier
  • I do have an option for you, if NOT getting a black ladder rack is a deal breaker . The Yakima OverHaul HD Truck Bed Ladder Rack for Toyota/Nissan Utility Tracks - 500 lbs - 68" Bars, part # Y01151-5868, is a black ladder rack that has a weight limit of 500 lbs and is also height adjustable. The Erickson Truck Bed Ladder Rack w/ Load Stops - Aluminum - 800 lbs, part # EM07705, is still a viable option. It has a higher weight limit, 800 lbs, because of its fixed height. It is also a more...

  • Recommended Brake Assemblies for Karavan Boat Trailer with 3500 lb Axle
  • For your brake assemblies, I recommend the Demco Hydraulic Brake Kit - Free Backing - Galvanized - 10" - Left/Right Hand Assemblies - 3.5K # 40716-15. These galvanized assemblies will work very well for saltwater or freshwater use, resisting corrosion. The free backing design allows you to back up without using the lockout on your coupler. This will absolutely fit your 3500 lb axle. For your Bearing Buddies, bearings, and seals, you very likely have the standard size 84 spindle but...

  • Comparing Thule Hitching Post and Yakima Ridgeback
  • The Yakima Ridgeback part # Y02458 and the Thule Hitching Post Pro # TH934XTR are both pretty similar in a lot of ways but the Ridgeback basically is a little bit nicer in features. They both have tilting capabilities, but the Yakima uses levers to operate the tilt of the mast and arms and the Thule requires you to pull a few pins which will add some time to the process. Also the zip straps of the Yakima are quite a bit easier to operate than the rubber straps of the Thule. I attached...

  • Brake Controller and Install Harness Recommendation for a 2014 Nissan Frontier
  • All you need to install a brake controller in your 2014 Nissan Frontier is a brake controller and an install harness. For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup. This is a proportional brake controller that senses the amount of braking the tow vehicle is applying and applies a proportionate amount to the trailer brakes. This will be the last brake...

  • Can 2014 Nissan Altima be Towed behind Motorhome
  • Sounds like you are asking if it's possible to flat tow your 2014 Nissan Altima. I did some research on your vehicle and the only way it can be towed is with a tow dolly like the Roadmaster # RM-2050-1 due to the CVT transmission the vehicle has. The advantage to a tow dolly is it's about the same price as a flat towing setup, takes MUCH less install time, and easily transferred to future vehicles as well.

  • Recommended Cargo Carrier For 2010 Nissan Altima With 1-1/4 Trailer Receiver
  • The Flint Hill Goods 30x50 Wheelchair Carrier # FHG77ZR that you mentioned requires a 2" hitch receiver opening. The only receivers available for your 2010 Nissan Altima are 1-1/4", such as the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24796. In order to use the Flint Hill Goods carrier you will need to use Hitch Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" # HTAD; this will convert your 1-1/4" receiver to 2". Keep in mind that this adapter will reduce your hitch's tongue weight capacity by 50%, so if you are using the...

  • Front Mount Receiver Recommended for 2011 Nissan Titan
  • We do indeed offer a front mounted receiver for your 2011 Nissan Titan. I'd recommend the Curt # C31061. The # 31198 front receiver you'd looked at is a fit for certain Toyota SUV's and Tundra truck models, so it wouldn't fit your Titan.

  • Stiffer Leaf Spring Recommendation for Trailer with 3,400 lb Boat and 5,200 lb Axle
  • The springs will be stiffer but they wouldn't damage the boat. You just might see the suspension not move quite as much as it did with the 3,500 lb axles and springs. For a bit more capacity that won't be overly stiff I recommend a 4,000 lb leaf spring with your 5,200 lb axle with part # e57SR.

  • Recommended Suspension Enhancement for 2017 Toyota Tacoma 4x4 with 4 Leaf Springs
  • For your 2017 Toyota Tacoma, the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs - Rear Axle # SSR-612-47 are my recommendation. This is a popular option and will give you support while fitting your 4 leaf springs. In my opinion these are better for both loaded and unloaded vehicles because they have more of the progressive load support. If you prefer Timbren which are a little more stiff which is great for loaded beds but not as great when unloaded I recommend the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement...

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for 2018 Nissan Rogue with Naked Roof
  • For your 2018 Nissan Rogue with a naked roof you'll need to install a roof rack so that you can mount the carrier/basket you have in mind. For that the Rhino Rack roof rack part numbers # RRVA126B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK396 is what you'd need. What I really like about the Rhino Rack roof racks is that you get the higher quality of the more expensive racks but at a better price. The Rhino Rack roof basket part # RMCB02 is a really solid option for a basket as well.

  • Black Side Steps that Fit 2019 Nissan Frontier King Cab
  • I have a very similar set of side steps to the Pilot set you mentioned from the brand CARR which is a confirmed fit for your 2019 Nissan Frontier king cab with the part # CARR103991 and will fit really well but the brand Pilot/Bully does not have a fit for your vehicle at this time. This is the same style of side step but with brackets that have been confirmed to fit your truck.

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Adapter for 2018 Nissan Titan XD
  • To lower your pin box height there are a couple options. First, I recommend adjusting your pin box to the position closest to your trailer if it isn't already. Next I recommend adjusting your 5th wheel hitch to its lowest position. Finally, you can change out your Reese Adapter which isn't a fit for you 2018 Nissan Titan XD for the Demco adapter # DM6200 which is a fit. This adapter will sit 2 inches above the bed of your truck which will be 1 inch shorter than the Reese # RP30156. Those...

  • Which Block Heater Fits 2001 Nissan Xterra with 3.3 Liter V6

  • Dimensions of Timbren Silent Ride Suspension Single Axle Trailer #TSRTSR3500S04
  • I checked with Timbren and the distance you are looking for is 11-7/16” from the center of the axle to the front of the bracket that attaches the kit to your frame. Timbren also told me to tell you that this dimension will only be exact if the trailer does not have a load on it. With more weight on the trailer the dimension will increase slightly. The crossmember will still clear the frame by 9/16 inch. I added a picture that shows the dimension you asked about as well as a few more.
