  • 5th Wheel Base Rails and Installation Brackets for 2004 Dodge Ram 1500

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Rails and Hitch for a 2006 Dodge Ram Mega Cab Short Bed
  • To get the B&W Patriot # BWRVK3200 to work with your 2006 Dodge Ram you're going to need a set of 5th wheel rails # DM8552016-71. These rails are custom fit to your vehicle so they'll just bolt right up to the frame. It is worth mentioning that since you have a short bed, I'd actually recommend going with a sliding hitch # BWRVK3270. The reason being is, when short bed trucks use fixed hitches to make tight turns, there's going to be significantly less room for the trailer and truck cab,...

  • Parts Needed to Install Trailer Brake Controller in 2018 Dodge Grand Caravan
  • Since your trailer has electric brakes, you will indeed need to install a brake controller to actuate them. I'd recommend a proportional brake controller like the Curt # C24VV Triflex for safe, effective and predictable braking. To install the brake controller, you'll need to begin with a 4 pole trailer wiring harness. You can provide one by installing # C56331. With the 4 pole in place, you'll install the controller using our # ETBC7 brake controller install kit. The kit includes every...

  • How to Find Correct Wires for Installation of Prodigy P3 Brake Controller on 2014 Durango
  • I do not have a wiring diagram with the colors specific to the 2014 Dodge Durango, so the best way to identify the correct wires to connect to your P3 is to use a circuit tester like the # PTW2993. The wires on the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller # 90195 correspond with the following: Blue - Brake Output Black - 12V Power White - Ground Red - Brake Light Switch If you have the tow port then you don't need to worry about wire color since you can use the # TK93VR for installation....

  • Blue Ox TrackPro or Curt TruTrack Weight Distribution Hitch For 800 - 850 lb Tongue Weight
  • So both of the part numbers you mentioned are going to be rated too highly for your trailer that has a GVWR (which is the combined dry weight and max cargo capacity) of nearly 6,800 lbs. A trailer of this weight will have a loaded tongue weight of 800 to 850 lbs, and the correct TrackPro or TruTrack for that tongue weight is the following: - Curt TruTrack Weight Distribution System w/ Sway Control # C17500 - Blue Ox TrackPro Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control # BLU77FR Both of these...

They are going to provide enough additional support to the Durango's OEM coil springs to greatly improve its handling and absorb road shock so you can more comfortably drive to your destination.

  • Torklift Hitch and Extension Recommendation for a 2002 Dodge Ram 3500 Carrying Camper and Towing
  • To use one of the SuperTruss extensions like the part # TLE1548 on your 2002 Dodge Ram 3500 you will need a Torklift Superhitch part# TLD1100. Since your camper is going to extend out an additional 4 feet the # TLE1548 would be an ideal solution for you as it is 4 feet long.

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendations for a 2000 Dodge Dakota
  • No, the Curt trailer hitch # 13229 will not fit your 2000 Dodge Dakota but we do have other trailer hitches that will fit such as # C13280. If you plan on doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag. If the ball mount kit does not have the right rise or drop to tow...

  • Troubleshooting Use of 5th Wheel Wedge for Revolution Pin Box and Curt A16 Hitch
  • 5th wheel wedge # C16992 is the correct one for your Curt A16 hitch to allow use of a Revolution pivoting pin box. Since one of the two bolts sheared off it sounds like the initial installation left one of the bolts too loose (the one that did not break). This would have placed all of the force on the other bolt, resulting in it breaking. Custom wedges like C16992 will provide a better fit than universal wedges, if adjusted to the correct position. There is a small adjustment range in...

  • Which DeeZee Tailgate Assist Fits 2008 Dodge Ram 1500

Hopkins offers what they can a Tailgate EasyLift, part # 74211 that is a torsion spring that removes about 80 percent of the weight of the tailgate, which would make it easier to raise the tailgate.

  • I believe I have the perfect solution to light your workbench! Check out the Optronics Thinline Opti-Brite LED Interior Strip Light # ILL72CB.

  • Hide-a-Goose Underbed Gooseneck Hitch Recommendation for a 2005 Dodge 1500 Ram
  • I have a solution for you, but the Hide-A-Goose Underbed Gooseneck # 9464-35 that you referenced is not confirmed to fit your 2005 Dodge Ram 1500. You would want the Hide-A-Goose Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # 9464-38 instead. This hitch is confirmed to fit your vehicle and is basically the same hitch you referenced except with an install kit that is designed for your vehicle. I attached an install video for this product for you to check out also.

  • 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch and/or Gooseneck Hitch for a 2014 Dodge Ram 3500 Crew Cab Short Bed
  • Because a Sidewinder cannot be used with any sort of 5th wheel to gooseneck adapter, the best option is to go with a 5th wheel trailer hitch if you have to use a Sidewinder. The bed liner will most likely have to be trimmed away in the foot print of the rails plus a little extra to account for the pins to secure the 5th wheel hitch. Slide-in bed liners need to be trimmed but spray-in bed liners do not. For your 2014 Ram 3500 short bed you can use Curt installation kit # C16430-204. This...

  • What Wire to Use to Power the Air Lift WirelessONE Compressor System on a 2013 Ram 3500
  • I would run a wire to the fuse box under your hood and then find a circuit that only sees voltage when the key is on like the radio circuit. Tapping into a circuit there will be better because it will prevent the accessory the circuit powers from being deprived of power. I would remove the fuse from the circuit you plan on using, test to determine which side of the fuse holder has the current on it and then use that side for attaching the fuse clip. If you wanted the Airlift to kick on...

  • Best Way to Tow Fifth Wheel Trailer With 2014 Dodge Ram 2500 With Factory Tow Prep Package
  • In my opinion, the best way to tow a fifth wheel trailer with your 2014 Dodge Ram 2500 with the OEM fifth wheel prep package is to use a fifth wheel hitch that fits the in-bed pucks in your truck bed. You have several hitch options that will work, but my favorite is the B&W Companion 25K Fifth Wheel Hitch, # BWRVK3600. This hitch will drop right into the pucks in the truck bed and once it is removed, you will have full access to your bed. Curt also makes fifth wheel hitches for the OEM...

  • Will Brophy Camper Hold Downs # HSSF Fit a 1998 Dodge Ram 2500
  • The camper hold downs, # HSSF, will fit your 1998 Dodge Ram and hold a camper that is appropriately sized for you truck. The recommended hardware package, # TDHP, as a listed capacity of 3,000 pounds so the 2,620 pound gross weight of the camper should not be a problem. I have included a link to a video review and the instructions for you. The best option is going to be frame mounted tie downs. I have included a link to the options for the 1998 Ram. You will have to use the drop down menu...

  • Trailer Hitch Fit for a 1998 Dodge Caravan
  • The trailer hitch that fits your 1990 Dodge Caravan will not fit your 1998 Dodge Caravan. Your 1990 Caravan was a Generation I and your 1998 is a Generation III van and through the years there have been substantial changes. If you need a hitch for your 1998 Dodge Caravan, I recommend the Draw-Tite Class II Hitch # 36296. This hitch is the most like what you already have on your 1990 Caravan. It is Class II rated and has a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. I have linked all available options...
