  • 8 Inch Hitch Extender For 2 Inch Hitch That With Less Than 4-1/2 Inches of Depth
  • We do have an 8 inch hitch extender for a 2 inch hitch that has less than 4-1/2 inches of depth from the center of the hitch pin hole rearward, from Curt: - Curt Hitch Extender for 2" Hitch Receivers - 8" Long # C45791 This extender measures just 2 inches from the center of its rear hitch pin hole to the back of the extender, so it will allow you to have the needed 4-1/2 inches of clearance.

  • Which Brackets to Install 5th Wheel Rails In 2017 Ford F-150
  • I have a solution for you to use your existing rails, but the Husky Custom Mounting Bracket Kit # HT32221 is designed for a 2013-2020 Ram 3500 and cannot be used with a 2017 Ford F-150. However, you can use the Reese Universal Mounting Brackets for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches - 10 Bolt # RP58314 with your Husky rails since this is a universal mounting bracket kit; it will likely require drilling into the frame of the vehicle. With that said, the best solution would be to use the Reese Quick-Install...

  • Solution To Raise 5th Wheel Trailer For Level Towing On A 2017 Ford F-350 Super Duty
  • For your 2005 Keystone Montana, you have a couple of options to get your trailer level for towing. Apart from adjusting the height on the hitch itself, you can also adjust the height on the pin box itself. You can make your height adjustment, by utilizing the different mounting holes, to pivot your nose up or down. Finally, you can use an over-under conversion kit like # K71-384-00 for a 2-3/8" axle, or # K71-385-00 for a 3" axle. This will move your axle from above the leaf springs...

  • Recommended Camper Tie Downs for 2014 Ford F-250 With Double Walled Stake Pocket
  • I have a solution for you, but you won't be able to use stake pocket mounted tie downs on the 2014 Ford F-250 or F-350 because of the double walled stake pockets. However, you can use clamp on tie downs like the Brophy Clamp On Camper Tie-Downs - Bed Mount - Black Powder Coated Steel - Qty 4 # HSAB, since they don't use the stake pockets at all. I've linked a review video of these for you to check out, but if you wanted to go this route instead of frame mounted they would be the only option.

  • Bearing Buddy Fit for 1987 Fireball 5th Wheel
  • I'm unable to look up which Bearing Buddies you'd need for your 5th wheel, but it's pretty easy to figure out which ones you'll need. All you'll need to do is figure out which outer bearing the hubs use. Pull one of the hubs and carefully pull the outer bearing and wipe it down with a paper towel. The bearing cage should list a reference number on the side, such as # L44649. If you look up the # L44649 bearing on our website, you can see that it uses the # L44610 race which has a 1.980...

  • Will a Hitch From a 2006 Ford F-350 Also Fit a 2006 Ford E-350 Van
  • I have a solution for you to add a hitch to a 2006 Ford E-350 van, but the F-350 and E-350 are two completely different chassis' so they'll have different hitches for them.

  • Reese 5th Wheel Mounting Bracket/Rail Kit for Husky 5th Wheel Hitch on 2021 Ford F-150
  • Your Husky 5th wheel hitch is indeed compatible with industry standard 5th wheel bed rails which is what is provided by a Reese 5th wheel hitch install bracket/rail kit. However, the # RP50087-58 kit you'd looked at doesn't carry over to the 2021 F-150 model which is year 1 of the 14th generation of the truck, which you kind of alluded to. For your 2021, you'd want to use the # RP56034-53 kit. If you'd like to install a 7-way in the truck bed so you don't have to run the trailer connector...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver and Other Parts for Towing a Trailer with a 2004 Ford Ranger
  • Hidden Hitch has actually been discontinued completely. They were purchased some time ago by the same parent company as Draw-Tite. If there are any still floating around it's because they haven't run out yet. However, we no longer carry the 70181. Instead for your 2004 Ford Ranger I recommend the Curt # 13138. It has similar specs and look to the 70181. I've attached a video of it being installed on a 2006 Ranger. If you're going to be towing a trailer with the Ranger you'll also...
