Hey Shawn, good catch checking that on your 96 Ram. So you have a couple options. You could add a 1/2 inch wheel spacer to your rear axle to gain the additional clearance to use the part #F2071. Or you could go with the only option we have that…
I recommend using a Winch #SW39GR with the Hitch Mount #BDW20011. This way you only need a 2" receiver which is typically already on the rear of most trucks and are available for the front. For your tilt trailer you can weld on a Receiver…
The Bulldog Winch 500 Amp Shut-Off Switch - Metal Housing #BDW20248 will operate up to and at 500 amps whether it is intermittent use or continuous. The 500 Amp battery disconnect switch should only be used for powering on and off the main power…
I have a recommendation for you as the Bulldog Winch Hitch Mount Storage Bracket #BDW20154 is only designed to hold a winch when not in use. It does not have the structure required to operate a winch. For a 12,000LB Winch #BDW10040 you will need a…
You would want to go with a deep cell battery. Having a battery larger than you would need would be the way to go as having a battery that is similarly rated as the draw of the winch will drain it quickly. We don't carry any deep cell batteries…
I have a solution for you to connect the Bulldog Winch Trailer Winch #BDW10039 to your vehicle's battery, but it will not work well for you to connect the winch to the vehicle's 7-way connector. The highest gauge wire a 7-Way connector is…
In order to power the Bulldog Winch Trailer Winch part #BDW15020 from the vehicle's battery I recommend using the Bulldog Winch Rear Wiring Kit part #BDW20206 which contains 20' of 2 AWG power and ground wire in addition to quick disconnects…
In order to find the correct size wire for a winch you'll need to know the amp rating. The Bulldog Winch Trailer Winch part #BDW10040 for example which has a 12,000 lb capacity and can pull anywhere from 65 - 400 amps depending on the load. It…
The biggest difference will be price. The two harnesses are basically the same harness made by two different companies. The Curt part #C55382 would be what I would go with over the Hopkins #42475 because the price is better and because we seem to…
There is one hitch lock for a 2-1/2 inch hitch that stands above the rest to protect the Gen-Y Phantom X Adjustable 2-Ball Mount - 2-1/2" Hitch #GY95XR. The lock I highly recommend to keep your ball mount safe is the InfiniteRule Hitch Lock for…
In regards to the Bulldog Winch Trailer Winch part #BDW15020, the remote hooks up to the junction box which has power leads that run to the battery. The junction box houses a circuit breaker so there is no in-line fuse needed, simply hook the power…
Good news! The Bulldog Winch #BDW15019 will work great for loading your 18 foot car hauler with a vehicle up to 4,000lbs. We recommend using a winch with a line pull capacity no less than equal to that of the load being moved. For example, if a car…
