Expert Answers about Ram 4500


  • Will B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNRK1500 Fit CM SK Truck Bed
  • The B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNRK1500 that you referenced is a universal application that is welded on to steel flatbeds when it comes to the installation. It isn't fitguided to fit your CM SK truck bed but as long as its steel you can reference the linked installation instructions to ensure fitment. I confirmed this with my contact at B&W.

  • Adjusting Electric Brake Assemblies on Trailer Drop Axle
  • I'm not sure which brake adjustment tool you have but on our PT # W80630 there are two sides that can be used. The end with the 90 degree bend is designed for adjusting electric brakes on drop axles like yours, which will allow you to access that hard-to-reach star wheel adjuster. There's not really an additional trick or easier method for this process. I have attached a demonstration video below that you might also find helpful. You can skip ahead to the 4:35 mark to watch our installer...

  • How to Install Aftermarket Brake Controller on 2015 Ram 1500 With Factory Brake Controller
  • According to my research, the factory controller will indeed need disconnecting before you install the aftermarket controller. Before disconnecting the ITBC (Ram-speak for the factory brake controller), you'll need to get the computer flashed at the dealer so that disconnecting the controller doesn't set off warning lamps/buzzers. I was told that the aftermarket controller would not work with the factory controller still installed. For your Tow Pro Elite, you'll also need the # 331-TPH-020...

  • HappiJac Extension Brackets For Camper Jacks To Fit With Flat Bed Truck
  • The Swing Out Extension Brackets # LC182496 can be left in the out position and not swung in. Since your 2010 Ram 4500 has a flat bed the part I think you are looking for is the HappiJac Extender Bracket # HJ54FR. This is a fixed extender that does not have swing in/out function.

  • Correct TorkLift Trailer Hitch For 2022 Ram 4500 Cab & Chassis

  • Recommended Heavy Duty 7-Way Trailer Wiring That Will Last
  • A standard Bargman 7-Way cable like the 11' part # HM20048 will have a similar quality as the Hopkins equivalent. If you're wanting something a bit more durable then I recommend the Bargman 7-Way, RV-Style Connector w/ 6' Heavy Duty Insulated Cable # 54006-057. This wiring actually comes with a 1-year limited warranty which initially doesn't sound great but for the world of wiring it's pretty good. Attached are some review videos for you to check out!

  • Valve Stem Extender Fitment For A 2023 Ram 4500
  • From the connection point to the end of the bend in the Wheel Masters 4-Hose Inflation Kit # WM8001-135 is approximately 1-1/2" in length. You could try sticking a tape measure in there and measuring out 1-1/2" at a 135 degree angle to see if it will clear the handhole in your wheels.

  • Gooseneck Hitch for 2018 Ram 4500 Flatbed
  • We do offer a 30,000-lb-rated gooseneck hitch for your 2018 Ram 4500 flatbed, B&W kit # BWGNRK1500, but it does require cutting and welding for installation. This B&W hitch requires you to cut a 4-inch diameter hole in the bed and to weld the hitch in place. The hitch ball and safety chain hookups are included. The written instructions and a brief review video are linked for reference. We do not offer any gooseneck hitches that are a purely bolt-on installation.

  • Recommended Drill-Free Air Bags for a 2022 Ram 4500
  • I do have both Firestone and AirLift air helper springs available for a 2022 Ram 4500 and they are both great option, but only one is drill free. The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs with Internal Jounce Bumpers part # AL88255 offer a completely bolt-on install so this is what I recommend because the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs part # F2404 require drilling.

  • How to Determine Safety Chain Weight Capacity
  • The safety chains need to exceed the loaded weight of the trailer not the axle capacity. If the loaded weight of your trailer is significantly under 3500 lbs then a 3500 lb safety chain is fine. I have attached a link to all of the safety chains that we carry for your reference.

  • Comparing Rota-Flex and Gen-Y 5th Wheel Pin Boxes
  • Great question, Jeff! When the Rota-Flex first came out it renovated what a pin box could do and be, but at this point in time that technology is a little more dated and the Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel Pin Box # 325-GH-8040 is the "new kid on the block" so it is definitely an upgrade to what you currently have, and you'll be happy with it for sure. The part number mentioned above will fit in place of a Lippert 1621 or 1621HD pin box and is great for a calculated tongue weight...

  • Replacement Power Cords For TireMinder i10 TPMS for RVs and Trailers # TM89FR
  • I'm guessing you are referring to the Signal Booster # VAL29RB on the TireMinder i10 TPMS for RVs and Trailers # TM89FR. This is the only way we carry the booster and we do not have a replacement cord. Otherwise if you are referring to the monitor connection it is simply a USB to MicroUSB # 332-HDEZ4 which plugs into a 12 Volt Plug Connector # MA67DR. You likely already have something like this as it was very commonly used with cell phones and other devices. If you are looking for a different...

  • Does Air Lift Load Lifter 7500XL Fit 2021 Ram 4500
  • Yes, the Air Lift 7500XL air bag kit part # AL88255 that you referenced is compatible with your 2021 Ram 4500 HD. For a compressor kit then the heavy duty part # AL25854 will work great to make inflating the bags and maintaining them easier. The compressor will inflate faster than standard compressors and the gauge inside the vehicle will allow you to monitor and inflate them from inside the vehicle.
