• How To Prevent Bedsides From Hitting 5th Wheel Trailer While Backing Down Driveway
• Yes, you can raise a Reese 16K 5th Wheel Hitch like part # RP30051 or part # RP30047 for example to sit a maximum of 18" above the bed. The only thing you need to do to do this is move the center section up a set of bolt holes assuming you are not already maxed out. The minimum clearance needed between the besides and loft is 4-6" so if the above max 18" does not give you what you need then you may also be able to adjust the pin box. However, more likely than not you are going to need...

• Do I Need To Disconnect the ITBM on a 2018 Ram 2500 To Install the Tekonsha Prodigy P2
• The Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Trailer Brake Controller part # 90885 when paired with the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers part # 3024-P on your 2018 Ram 2500 will be a direct plug and play. Since you said you do not have a factory integrated trailer brake controller module (ITBC), there will not be any programming or flashing required for installation. This is only required if your truck came with a factory integrated trailer brake controller module (ITBC) as you...

• How To Install the UWS Truck Bed Fender Well Toolboxes On a 2019 Ram 2500 Long Bed
• Yes, the UWS Truck Bed Fender Well Toolboxes do require drilling for installation. The holes that will need to be drilled will be located wherever you choose. The recommended method is on the inside edge of the bed rail but you can also do so to the actual wheel well or to the bed floor. The process will vary for each installation and your choosing. For your 2019 Ram 2500, the correct UWS Truck Bed Fender Well Toolbox is part # UWS01624 for the driver side and part # UWS01626 for the passenger...

• Should I Use the Tire Grips # 288-07411-2 on All 4 Tires on My AWD Audi A6?
• Since the Tire Grip Vehicle Traction Recovery Tracks for Snow, Mud, and Sand # 288-07411-2 are designed to help with drive wheels, I recommend using the traction grips on all four of your all-wheel drive Audi A6. This will help give you the traction you need on all tires to get you out of the snow, mud, or sand. I went ahead and attached a demonstration video that shows how they work. Another way of preventing these mishaps is to use tire chains. For that route, if you are interested...

• Is Adapter Module Needed to Use EOH Brake System with 2011 Ram 2500 Factory Brake Controller
• You may need one, but generally speaking the OEM Ram brake controllers like what you have on your 2011 Ram 2500 will work just fine with an EOH system. For example, we the have the HydraStar Adapter Module # HBA-CAM for the HydraStar EOH actuators, but it's really only needed for some Ford and Chevy applications. If you find that the EOH system won't work with your OEM brake controller then let me know what EOH system you have and I can see if there is anything we have on our end that...

• Installation Instructions for Fitting a Wedge into a Reese hitch
• To adjust the wedge, hook up to the fifth-wheel trailer and latch it properly. Then, with the trailer wheels blocked, landing gear resting firm on the ground and supporting the trailer weight, tap the wedge firmly forward until it will no longer travel. Now, tighten the wedge bolts, if only one can be tightened, tighten it and unhook. Then tighten both bolts and torque to the specifications listed in the instructions for your sidewinder. I have attached a drawing showing the orientation...

• Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch With Most Clearance for 2012 Ram 3500 With Demco Underbed Rails
• I know it seems like the Hijacker # DM8550022 (assuming this was the autoslide you were referring to) may not have done its job but that isn't the case. This hitch offers 14 inches of travel, which is more than most. Here is the formula you can use to determine if any hitch will allow full 90 degrees of turning: (A+B) - C = Clearance A = Distance from the center of fifth-wheel hitch jaw to truck cab B = Length of Sliding Hitch Travel C = Width of trailer divided by 2 (to get half) At...

• What Harness is Needed to Install Prodigy P3 Brake Controller in 2020 Ram 1500
• To install the Prodigy P3 part # 90195 all you need is the part # 3024-P that you mentioned. Your 2020 Ram 1500 does have the correct connector present and it is wired up properly. You also would not need to take the truck to a dealer to have the computer flashed either. I attached an install video for this on a similar Ram as yours for you to check out as well.

• How to Raise 5th Wheel Trailer Height to Level Trailer with Taller Truck
• This is definitely something that has been an issue for newer trucks like your 2022 Ram 2500. Pretty much every truck manufacturer started making their trucks sit a bit higher a few years ago which has really changed the game for 5th wheel towing. If you adjust the pin box for clearance and you find that you also need to raise the height of your trailer then you can do so with a Correct Track kit or Over-Under Conversion kit. You can get by with your 5th wheel being out of level by maybe...

• Placement of B&W Companion and Turnover Ball Hitch in Bed of 2019 Ram 3500
• Because your Ram has the built-in gooseneck crossmember under the bed, the # BWGNRK1320-5W Turnover Ball that will act at the mount for the # BWRVK3500-5W companion 5th wheel hitch will mount directly centered over the rear axle. The pivot arms for the Companion hitch will place the fifth wheel king pin one inch forward of the axle when installed in one of the three orientations shown in the provided diagram.

• Is Factory Trailer Hitch Removed to Install TorkLift SuperHitch Magnum on 2019 Ram 3500
• You will need to remove the factory trailer hitch from your 2019 Ram 3500 to install the TorkLift SuperHitch Magnum Trailer Hitch Receiver # TLD1111-30. I have attached a cutout of what the SuperHitch Magnum looks like assembled for you to get an idea of how it will look on your pickup. The 2" receiver that comes with the SuperHitch Magnum should sit in the same place as your OEM receiver so the only difference is that there will be a 2-1/2" receiver directly below it. One the SuperHitch...

• Can I use the Curt Echo Brake Controller as an Emergency Brake
• Since a brake controller reacts to either the brake pedal of the tow vehicle being depressed or the internal mechanisms within the controller reacting to a change in inertia while traveling, they cannot truly be used as a parking brake. Additionally, not all trailer brakes have an emergency brake system on them, and those that do usually require a small modification. Brakes like the # K23-086-00 and # K23-087-00 both have manual parking brakes. These brakes utilize the 12V power from your...

• Do the DeeZee Rough Steps # DZ15321A-15336 Require Drilling for Install
• I checked the install instructions for the DeeZee Rough Steps # DZ15321A-15336 for your 2013 Ram 2500 and there is no drilling required. Basically you install crimp nuts in the truck frame to provide attachment points for the mounting brackets. I attached a picture that I took from the install instructions.

• Will Friction Sway Control Benefit Strait-Line Weight Distribution System for 9,000 lb Trailer
• The sway control offered by the Strait-Line Weight Distribution System with Sway Control # RP66084 is going to be all that you need. Adding friction sway control isn't going to give you any noticeable benefits so I recommend saving some money and only adding the Strait-Line. This is the perfect unit for your 9,000 lb GVWR trailer and comes with everything you need for installation except the hitch ball; for that you'd need 2" Hitch Ball # A-90 or 2-5/16" Hitch Ball # 19286 depending on...

• Pivot Arm position for B&W Companion BWRVK3600
• I would be happy to explain that for you. The reason some hitches like sliders have the option to move away from the axle is for clearance when parking or turning into tight spaces. When you haul a 5th wheel you absolutely want it directly over your rear axle. The six inches of adjustment built into the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch item # BWRVK3600 you referenced is for clearance and will not affect your ability to haul your 43' RV with your 2015 Ram 3500 Long Bed. I have linked a...

• Is a Tee Needed for Air Lift 1000 Heavy Duty Air Helper Springs On 2020 Ram 1500 Classic
• The Air Lift 1000 Heavy Duty Air Helper Springs for Coil Springs part # AL60818HD are a great option for a 2020 Ram 1500 Classic. If you want to control both air bags together then you'll just need a tee like the Air Lift Union Tee for 1/4" Air Lines part # AL21838. It will be better in the long run to install a tee if you're just using the air bags for towing.

• Installing The Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay Kit On A 2016 Ram 1500
• Before installing the Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-88400 you need to determine if your 2016 Ram 1500's system is normally open or normally closed. If your car has a push-button start feature that will not start the engine when the brake fuse is removed, then you need to perform a normally closed installation. If your Ram is a normally open system you'll complete the following steps: 1. Remove the blue wire from the kit. This wire is not needed for normally...
