• 7-Way Wiring for 2003 Ford F-350 Longbed for Lance Slide-In Truck Camper
• We do have 7-way wiring harnesses intended for use in the bed of a pickup for either a slide-in camper or a 5th wheel trailer. Harness # C56000 that you referenced is a suitable option. This kit plugs right in at your bumper-mounted factory 7-way (which will remain fully active, by the way) and provides 10-feet of additional slack to let you plug in your Lance camper. This harness uses a round U.S. Car connector. There are no similar harness options that plug-in at the front of the vehicle.

• Tapping into 7-Way on 2004 F-250 for Stop, Turn, Tail Light Signals for Headache Rack
• Since you need to retain the use of the 7-way at your rear bumper for towing while having the same lighting signals available near the cab for your headache rack, one option to consider is using a 5th wheel harness such as # 41157 from Hopkins. This plug-in harness provides on one end dual round U.S. Car connectors in a Y-arrangement that allow you to tap into your existing 7-Way (while keeping all of its functions active for your tow rig). On the other end of the 8-foot cable is a standard...

• Availability of Air Helper Springs on a 2014 Ford F-350 Cap and Chassis 4X4
• We carry a couple different options for suspension enhancement for your 2014 Ford F-350 Cab and Chassis. Unfortunately, none of them are of the air spring variety. For your model, I recommend the Timbren Rear Enhancement System. Timbren offers two different weight capacities for the this vehicle. A standard duty model, # TUR350, and a heavy duty model, # TFR350TTCC. The standard duty springs,# TUR350, are rated up to 6,000 lbs and are of the jounce bump style. The Timbren system will...

• Availability of 16 x 6-inch Rims with a 1/2-inch Positive Inset
• The closest wheel that fits your dimensions is the Dexstar # AM20766. This wheel has 16 x 6-inch rims in an 8-on-6-1/2-inch bolt pattern with a 1/2-inch positive offset (positive offset moves the tire closer to the trailer) and comes only in black. Part # AM20759 is a white powder-coat wheel with the same 1/2-inch positive offset. Part # AM20760 is a silver-color wheel with zero offset. The link provided will let you see all 16 x 6-inch rims with the 8-on-6-1/2-inch bolt pattern.

• Custom Gauge Pillar for the Gauge for Air Lift Suspension on a 2006 Ford F-350 King Ranch
• The gauge size in Air Lift kits like # AL25856 is designed to fit most custom pillar pods or dash mounts but they do not offer custom pillars or pods. The kits do come with a small pad the gauge fits in that can be mounted on the dash. For a 2006 Ford F-350 you can use Air Lift system # AL57212. A company called AutoMeter makes some custom gauge pillars that might work for you.

• Thank you for the photo of your Ford F-250's trailer wiring that has a square OEM connector o one end and both 4-pole and U.S. Car (round) connectors on the other end.

• Availability of 5th Wheel Install Brackets and Hardware for 2005 Ford F-350 With Long Bed
• I have a solution for you, but we do not recommend mixing base rails and frame brackets from different manufactures. Unfortunately Valley went out of business, so we do not have any frame brackets or hardware available. Instead, I recommend installing a new fifth wheel base rail and frame bracket kit on your truck like the Reese Custom Fit Install Kit, # RP50082-58. Your Valley 16K hitch will be compatible with the Reese base rails, so you will have no problem there. This kit has everything...

• A pintle hitch ball is designed to be used with trailers that use Lunette Rings, a regular or conventional hitch ball is designed to be used with trailers that have couplers. You would typically find trailers with Lunette Rings on industrial or construction type trailers. For a pintle towing setup, you will need a pintle draw bar, pintle ball, pin and clip, wiring, and brake controller. For a draw bar, I would recommend Titan Forged Pintle Hook Mounting Plate, part # RP45294, which will...

• Availability of Gooseneck/Fifth Wheel Wiring T-Harness for 2002 Ford F350
• You have the 7-way at the back bumper, as well as one installed in the bed, but you don't have the wiring connecting the two, is that correct?

You can simply use the wiring harness, one end will T into the vehicle wiring behind the connector on the rear bumper as shown in the video I've linked you to, and the other would plug into the existing connector in the bed.

• Is A Flash Self-Locking Aluminum Ball Mount For 2-1/2 Inch Receiver Available?
• I contacted the manufacturer and there is not a Flash self-locking, aluminum ball mount available like Item # DTLBM9200 in a 2-1/2 inch size.
