• Is Finding Excess Grease On Wheel After greasing EZ Lube Spindles Something To Worry About
• Since you just pumped grease into your EZ lube spindle like the EZ Lube Spindle, Item # TRU37FR, I would not be too concerned. I would clean up the excess grease on the inside of your left wheel and keep tabs on it. Also, make sure using the same type of grease. Normally EZ Lube spindles "take care of themselves" if you carry out routine maintenance like you are doing. If possible, I encourage you to check your grease seal to make sure it is not damaged. If you are having an actual...

• Can a Hitch Extender be Used With Weight Distribution System
• While I can certainly understand wanting to add an extension for your clearance issues, a hitch extender cannot be used with a weight distribution system, though there is an option that can help, which is a longer shank for your weight distribution system. The longest shank for your Ram's 2" hitch is from Equal-i-zer and is 18" long. - Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank - 18" Long - 7" Rise, 3" Drop # EQ90-02-4500 - Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank - 18" Long - 8" Rise, 4" Drop # EQ90-02-4600 I...

• Will SumoSprings Coil Spring Suspension Work With Firestone Air Suspension On 2010 Toyota RAV4
• The Coil SumoSprings Custom Helper Springs, part # CSS-1125R are not intended to lift your 2010 RAV4, but are designed to provide extra support when carrying heavy loads. These are designed to work with a suspension system in good working order. They will not increase the load-carrying capacity of the RAV4. I would not recommend using the SumoSprings with Firestone air suspension like part # F4174 at the same time since the Firestone system installs in the coil springs and may interfere...

• Can Larger Wheels And Tires Be Put On Trailer
• You will need to know a couple of things if you want to put bigger tires and wheels on your trailer. First, you will need to know what the wheel bolt pattern is for the wheel. I have attached a helpful article that explains how to determine the wheel bolt pattern of your hub. Next, you want to make sure you have the clearance you need. Overall diameter and width are important factors when you want to change the size. We do not offer a tire/wheel combo with a 215 tire. We have a 205...

• Adding Electric Brakes To A Triton Boat Trailer With 10" Wheels
• I can certainly point you in the right direction. First and foremost we would want to verify that your axle does in fact have a brake flange. Some smaller axles do not come with brake flanges, and this will be required in order to install electric brakes. We do carry a brake mounting flange # 4-35 which can be fabricated to fit your axle if needed. We also need to verify what kind of axle is on your trailer. Specifically we need to know the inner and outer bearing sizes. This will tell...

• What Parameters Can Be Monitored With Edge Insight Gauge Display # EP84030 on 2014 Kia Sorento
• My representative in the Edge tech services department tells me that they have not tested their Insight CS2 # EP84030 on your particular vehicle, so he could not say which individual parameters would be monitored. It would almost certainly monitor things like coolant temperature and throttle position through the engine computer, and there's a good probability that the unit would also read the transmission fluid and oil temperatures, but you'd need to try the unit first to see if it would...

• Recommendation For Softening The Ride Of Small Trailer Carrying 2 or 3 Kayaks
• I may have a solution that will save you some money and work. I spoke with our tire expert and his suggestion was to lower the tire pressure a little until you are comfortable with the way the trailer handles and rides. We always recommend using the maximum tire pressure and to air the tires up when they are cold. This is to make sure the tires are capable of handling the maximum load they are rated for. In your case, since you said you are limiting the load you plan on carrying, you...

• Is There A Left And Right Hand TruXedo Truck Luggage SaddleBag Rail Mounted Storage Box
• The TruXedo Truck Luggage SaddleBag, part # TX1705213 is designed so it can be used on either side of the truck. Ideally, it would install behind the wheel on the driver side, and in front of the wheel on the passenger side. It can still be used on both sides, and can be used in front of or behind the wheel.

• How to Determine Enclosed Trailer Model Year from VIN
• If you refer to the linked example of a 17-digit trailer VIN you'll note that the 10th digit usually indicates the year of manufacture. Other characters within the VIN provide the manufacturer (2nd and 3rd) and the trailer serial number (the last 6). There are online VIN decoders available too (easily found with a web search) and I will send you a few links to some of them. The VIN you provided has 18 characters so you'll want to double check this before using the online tools.

• Is Adapter Available To Use Thule T2 Classic With 1-1/4 inch Shank In 2-inch Trailer Hitch Receiver
• I called my contact at Thule and they said there is no adapter available for your T2 Classic bike carrier. I asked about replacing the stinger for a 2-inch and they said that is not available for the T2 either. I wish I had better news but unfortunately there is not anything available to fit the T2 to a 2-inch receiver. We do have adapters that will fit a 2-inch receiver and have a 1-1/4 inch receiver on the other end but Thule has not tested the adapters and you may risk voiding the...
