  • Prodigy P2 Trailer Brake Controller 90885 Installation in 2017 Ram 2500
  • All you need to do to install the Prodigy P2 Trailer Brake Controller # 90885 in your 2017 Ram 2500 is plug it in using the wiring adapter # 3024-P. If your truck came from the factory with an OEM brake controller your dealer will need to reconfigure the TIPM (Totally Integrated Power Module) to remove the warning lamp on the instrument cluster. This is only necessary when replacing a factory controller. Please refer to the linked article.

  • Parts Needed To Switch To Electric-Over-Hydraulic Braking with Disc Brakes Already On Trailer

These air bags have a jounce spring inside each air spring that helps to improve ride comfort, reduce sway, and help with cornering; this provides support progressively - the more you load the springs, the stiffer they become, so they're great for 5th wheel towing.

  • Moving 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Install Kit from a 2000 Ford F-250 to a 2012 Ram 2500 Short Bed
  • It sounds like the installation kit is the Reese universal kit # RP30035. To use it on your 2012 Ram 2500 short bed you would need to add bracket # RP58186. You will also need new hardware # 58164 since the bolts are not meant to be used more than once. You can reuse the other brackets and the rails. Installation is not all that difficult, just time consuming. To see if this is something you want to tackle yourself I have included links to the installation instructions to the right. I...

  • Recommended Sidewinder and Reese 5th Wheel Hitch for Use with a 2018 Ram 2500 Short Bed with Ram Box
  • You definitely have the right setup in mind. Since the Ram Box on your 2018 Ram 2500 with a short bed limits the inside width of your truck bed a Sidewinder is the only viable solution. I called my contact at Lippert who said that your Trailair Rota-Flex has the pin box number 1621 according to the serial number, making it part # LC328330 on our site. For a Sidewinder that is a compatible replacement you can use part # RP34FR. We also have the 5th Airborne Premium # RP61422 which adds...

  • Recommended Shank and Hitch Ball for Reese Straight Line for 2020 Ram 2500 with 2-1/2" Hitch
  • The Reese Strait-Line # RP66074 is a great choice for this. Since your trailer has a GVWR of around 7500-lbs, and your loaded tongue weight should be between 10-15% of that (750-lbs to 1100-lbs), the RP66074 will work well since it has a tongue weight range of 800lbs to 1200-lbs. I really like that this weight distribution system uses sway control cams for a smoother ride that's going to be less tight than typical sway prevention hitches and it's going to provide superior sway prevention...
