  • Recommended Weight Distribution System for 5K Forest River Shamrock Trailer
  • I recommend going with the Blue Ox TrackPro Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control part # BLU47FR on your 5,000 lb trailer. This system is rated for up to 8,000 lbs so it will give you more room for error whether you want to upgrade trailers down the road or add more weight to your existing. It has integrated sway control so it will help with passing trucks or windy passes. It comes with a shank that will allow for a rise up to 6-1/2" and a drop down to 1-1/2". In order to see what your rise/drop...

  • Will a 1,000 Lb Weight Distribution System Work on a Forest River Wildwood 26DBUD
  • Yes, a 1,000 lb tongue weight weight distribution system will work great on a Forest River Wildwood 26DBUD with a dry tongue weight of 795 lbs. That said, if you wanted some more room for error or the ability to upgrade trailers down the line you could also use a 1,200 lb tongue weight weight distribution system and that's what I recommend. For this, the Blue Ox 2-Point Weight Distribution System part # BLU75FR is a great system with built-in sway control and it has everything you need...

  • What is Minimum Clearance Between Fifth Wheel Overhang and Truck Bed Rails
  • Between 4 and 6 inches is typically what is recommended as minimum clearance from trailer overhang to bed rails. If you can level your setup by lowering hitch where you'd have 5 inches you should be fine. Especially if you aren't in an area with a lot of steep elevation changes. Another solution would be to lift the trailer suspension like with the Correct Track lift kit part # RR23QX which can give you either a lift of 1-1/4 inch or 2-1/4 inch. This will level the trailer and would...

  • Are There Air Bags for a 2023 Gulf Stream Conquest Motorhome with Chevy Chassis
  • I do have an option for you but there are no air bag options for a 2023 Gulf Stream Conquest on Chevrolet Express 3500 Chassis. Instead, I recommend the SuperSprings Custom Suspension Stabilizer and Sway Control Kit part # SSA13 which like air bags will provide extra support. These are also maintenance free unlike air bags so you don't ever have to worry about air leaks. The benefits of air bags is much less when you have constant loads and the maintenance can be somewhat of a headache....

  • Determining If 1" Spacer Included with Timbren TGMRCK25D Needs To Be Used On 2013 Chevy Silverado
  • The Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TGMRCK25D you were looking at for your 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD 4x4 are 5-1/4" tall without the 1" spacer, or 6-1/4" tall with it. You want 1" - 1-1/2" gap between the # TGMRCK25D and the axle so if this gap is 6-1/4" - 6-3/4" you won't need the included spacer, or if the measurement is 7-1/4" - 7-3/4" you will need the included 1" spacer. I included a video of the # TGMRCK25D being installed for you to take a look at.

  • Is it Safe to Use Hitch Adapter on 2017 Chevy Bolt EV Class I Hitch to Transport an E-Bike
  • Price does play a pretty important role when choosing a trailer hitch, but for your application you really need to use the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7359 for transporting your e-bike with your 2017 Chevy Bolt EV. When you use an adapter, like the 1-1/4" to 2" Adapter # e43YR, you'll be reducing the weight capacity of the hitch by 50%. This is due to the extension causing more exaggerated movement since it sits further out. So not only will the weight rating of the hitch...

  • Correct Curt Weight Distribution System for 5K to 7K Trailer
  • The Curt TruTrack Weight Distribution System part # C17499 is the perfect option for a trailer ranging from 5,000 - 7,000 lbs. It offers integrated sway control as well as weight distributing properties. It only requires that you add a hitch ball to be complete, the part # A-90 or part # 19286. It will work wonderfully even when used with a set of suspension enhancements which are not always enough. The trunion spring bars will give the best ground clearance. It can also be used while in...

  • Trailer Ball Recommendation for Swagman Trailhead Towing Bike Rack
  • We do offer some 1-7/8 inch trailer balls with a 3/4 inch diameter threaded shank, but we don't offer one with an exactly-3000 lb weight capacity. We do however offer a 2000 lb capacity ball as part # C40001 which would work well for light-duty towing up to 2000 lbs.

  • Recommended SumoSprings Rear Suspension Enhancement For 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 2500.
  • Since you are going to be carrying a 2600lb truck bed camper and towing a boat trailer with a tongue weight of 350lbs with your 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 I recommend the SumoSprings Rebel Custom Helper Springs - 2 Piece - Rear Axle # SSR-203-40-2 which offers 3000lbs of support to your rear suspension. It is always best to stay as close to the weight you plan on carrying, as getting too highly rated suspension enhancement can cause a stiff and uncomfortable unloaded ride. If you feel...

  • Can Prodigy P2 Brake Controller Install in 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500 with Glove Compartment Harness
  • To install the Prodigy P2 part # 90885 in your 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500 the easiest solution at this time would be to use the harness you have found in the glove compartment. This will need to get hardwired to the brake controller's universal harness that it comes with. The Tekonsha harness you are looking for actually is currently on backorder which is why you are having a hard time finding it.

  • Will Demco Autoslide 13K DM8550040 Work With B&W 5th Wheel Rails BWRVK2503?
  • Yes, The Demco Autoslide 5th wheel hitch # DM8550040 will fit perfectly with the Curt Custom 5th Wheel Install Rails # BWRVK2503 in your 2011 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 with the 5-1/2' super short bed. I recommend going ahead and adding the in-bed 7-way # C56000 to allow you to hook up your 5th wheel connector the easiest way possible.

  • Best towing Mirror For A 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500 Custom
  • There are two good options for your Silverado. The K-Source # KS80930 snap on mirrors offer the most "factory" custom look and give you an extra 3-1/2" of mirror extension. A much more economical choice is the CIPA # 7070-2 Universal Towing Mirrors that have rubber straps that connect to your existing mirrors. I use these on my Chevy Colorado when towing and then store away when not needed. Since you said this is only a stop-gap until a better mirror becomes available, I would go with...

  • 2021 Chevrolet Equinox Differences in Crossbar Vs. Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit
  • The primary difference between the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms, # RM-523193-5 and the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms, # RM-523193-4 are the removable arms themselves. The Direct-Connect style can be used with a tow bar such as the Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain Tow Bar part, # RM-677, without the need for a crossbar to go between the two arms. The Crossbar-Style style means you will need the crossbar that goes between the two arms...

  • 5th Wheel/Gooseneck 7-Way Kit that Fits 2006 Chevy Silverado
  • The Hopkins 5th wheel/gooseneck 7-way kit part # 41157 is correct 7-way kit to install a connector in the bed of your truck for a 5th wheel setup but we don't have the replacement harness that plugs into the 7-way at the rear of the vehicle. Only a GM dealer would have that.

  • Can Demco Hijacker Autoslide be Used with Curt Turning Point Pin Box
  • By themselves, the Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider # DM8550022 and the Curt Turning Point are not compatible together, however there is a way to get these two to work with each other. What you can do is lock out the Turning Point pin box so that it cannot rotate essentially turning it into a standard pin box. This will allow you to use the Hijacker with your current Turning Point pin box. They do not make a capture plate for this application and you'd just need to use...
