• Dimensions of Ark Drop Down Corner RV Stabilizer Jacks
• I have attached a few photos for you with all the dimensions we have for the Ark Drop Down Corner RV Stabilizer Jacks part # AR34FR.

• How Tight Should Spindle Nut be on Trailer Hub
• When our installers replace a trailer hub, there isn't a set torque spec used when tightening the spindle nut. The hub is placed on the spindle, making sure the inner and outer bearings are correctly seated. The spindle nut is then run down until you start feeling resistance. At that point, spin the hub and check for end play (wobble). If the hub still seems a bit loose, you can run the nut down a bit more. As you'll see in the video I've linked to, tightening the nut is something you'll...

• Does the Bottom Side of the Cover of the # BAK39122 Install Below Bed Rails of a 2019 Silverado 3500
• When considering the BAK Revolver X2 # BAK39122 for the 8-foot bed on your 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 3500, the underside of the cover does not extend below the bed rail brackets. This is because the there are rectangular spacers on the sides of the Revolver where the cover meets the brackets. With that being said, no point of the underside of the # BAK39122 extends below the bed rails of the truck. I went ahead and attached a video that shows these spacers at timestamp 3:38.

• Why is Truck Fifth Wheel Towing Capacity Much Higher than Cargo Capacity
• Fifth wheel towing capacities are different from cargo weight capacities. The reason is mainly that a fifth wheel hitch essentially attaches to the frame of the truck (the strongest part of it), and the cargo capacity is more related to the weight capacity of the truck's bed. Your truck would have no problem with the weight of your fifth wheel trailer plus the cargo you mentioned adding.

• Recommended B&W 5th Wheel Hitches for a 2023 Chevy Silverado 2500 or 3500 w/ the Factory Puck System
• We have a couple of different options for B&W 5th wheel hitches since your 2023 Chevy Silverado 3500 has the factory puck system. The Companion sets the standard for towing. The 1" thick dual jaws provide a more secure and comfortable ride than other hitches. This is because of the superior 360 degree contact between the Companion's jaws and your 5th wheel trailer's kingpin. One of the main determining factors of selecting a 5th wheel hitch will be your Silverado's bed length. If you have...
