I called my contact at Timbren and they were able to inform me that the Timbren Front Suspension Enhancement System part # TGMFAST4 which is a confirmed fit for your 2004 Chevrolet Astro measures to be 2-3/4" tall x 3-3/8" wide. I have attached a photo with these dimensions for you as well. The bolt that is included with the kit is a 3/8" x 2" grade 5 hex head. view full answer...
The deer alert is weather resistant enough to be used on a motorcycle. But, I advise that you protect it from the elements as much as possible.
Deer will not discriminate between passenger vehicles and motorcycles, so if you can mount and install it on the bike then it would be a good idea. I have a co-worker here who had a friend get hit by a deer while riding so it can happen. view full answer...
Yes. The Tekonsha Primus IQ Trailer Brake Controller # TK90160 is compatible with your 1990 Chevy K3500 Dually. This will not have a quick connection harness, but will connect to wires inside the cab of your truck for brake light signal.
You will need to install the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller # ETBC7 for this application. This will give you all the wiring, connectors, and circuit breakers you need to install your Primus IQ. If you don't already have a 4... view full answer...
If you have a model with raised side rails then you can install a number of different crossbars such as the Malone SteelTop Roof Rack part # MPG202 which is what I recommend. It has square bars which can hold up to 165 lbs. They feature a simply bolt-on install.
Unfortunately, if you have a model with bare roof we do not have any great roof rack options. view full answer...
For your 2016 Toyota Prius C without a spoiler the best trunk rack we offer is the Thule OutWAy part # TH45JV.
What makes this rack far superior to the others is the attachment system. It uses 2 retractable coated steel cables to attach to the vehicle rather than 6 nylon straps like other racks. This makes installation quick and easy and the cables also last longer.
The cables store inside the rack so there are no loose straps ends to flap around. The cables can also be locked into position... view full answer...
First, the correct wiring harness for a 2001 Chevy Astro is # 18252. This harness splices directly into the tail light wiring of the van. The brake lights and turn signals are on the same circuit. Check to see if the brake lights on the van are working. If they are then the most likely issue is a bad ground connection or a dirty/corroded trailer connector.
Ground issues normally show up when there is more load on a system such as the constant 12 volt draw of the brake lights. You will... view full answer...
You are on the right track but you would actually not need a brake controller as they are for activating trailer brakes and now the brakes of a supplemental braking system in a towed vehicle. The SMI part # SM99251 would cover all of that.
The base plate part # 3138-1 is the correct base plate to use with the Tracker part # RM-020 for your 2001 Chevy Astro Van.
You will also need safety cables. For that you can use # RM-643. The coiled design helps keep the cables off of the ground.

The Air Lift Ride Control Springs, part # AL59521, are designed for the rear axle of the 1999 Chevrolet Astro Van 2 Wheel Drive and 4 Wheel Drive Models. They will also fit the Cargo Van model of the Astro Van.
I do not have any install videos of the Air Lift springs being installed on a Chevrolet Astro Van. I am including a link to the installation instructions on the springs.

It is possible that the taillight wiring on your 1998 Chevy Astro has more than one wire that carries the turn signal functions. If so, and you connected the wiring harness # HM41225 to those, then the brake light signal would not get to the 4-Way. You can double check the factory wires using a circuit tester such as # PTW2993 or a meter if you have one. Have someone sit in the vehicle and operate the brakes while you test the wires.
If everything is wired up correctly on the vehicle side... view full answer...
A harness or a plug and play application is not available for the 1997 Chevy Astro for a brake controller. You will need to do a little hardwiring. Since you already have the blue wire taken care of, I will cover the other wires.
The white wire is the ground. The ground will need to be attached to a length of wire like # 10-1-1, long enough to reach the vehicle battery. You will route the wire through the firewall and over to the battery and connect it to the negative battery terminal.... view full answer...
To install a Prodigy P2 Brake Controller # 90885 on your 1997 Chevy Astro van you will first need a couple more components. The first thing you will need a 4-Pole Hardwire Kit # 18252.
Basically, you will test the tail light wires from your tail lights harness with the included circuit tester for voltage when the different functions of your tail lights are being applied, and then wire by function to the tail light harness.
The white wire will be run to a good metal ground on the body... view full answer...
The Draw-Tite Wiring Harness, # 18252, will work on your 2002 Chevrolet Astro. This wiring harness will splice into your vehicles tail light assembly wires. You will need to locate the tail light wires on your vehicle and test the wires using the circuit tester that is included.
The wires will need to be matched by function. The brown wire on the wire harness is for the tail lights, the green wire is for the right turn and brake lights, the yellow wire is for the left turn and brake lights... view full answer...
I called and spoke with my contact at Timbren and got the measurements for you. On the Timbren system, # TGMRASTBHD, the overall height of the assembled spring is 4-3/4 inches. It sits on the axle in place of the old bump stop.
For system # TGMFAST, the overall height is 4-1/2 inches. These units sit on the control arm. I have included links to the installation instructions for both systems and a link to an FAQ article on Timbren systems for you. view full answer...
In order to install a brake controller on a 1987 Chevy Astro, there are a few parts you are going to need. First, you need to install a 4-Way trailer wiring harness, # 18252. I have included a link to a video that shows a typical installation. You will need to use the included circuit tester to test the van wiring because it will most likely not match color for color with the vehicle in the video.
After you have installed the 4-Way, you will need to install a 4 and 7 Way installation kit,... view full answer...

The hitch you mentioned actually does not fit either vehicle you referenced but instead we have the Draw Tite hitch part # 75122 which is a confirmed fit and would work well. It is a Class III hitch with a 2 inch opening and has a 3,500 lb trailer towing capacity. view full answer...
The Draw-Tite # 75122 only fits the extended body. Two out of the three hitches made for your Astro actually fit the standard body so I'm not sure what you mean. You can use the etrailer # e69KR or the Curt # C13035. Both of these are Class III hitches with the only real difference being the finish. If you want the matte black finish choose the etrailer and if you prefer the glossy finish get the Curt.

To flat tow your 2000 Chevy Astro behind the farm equipment you will first need base plates, # 3138-1. Then you will need a compatible tow bar. Given that you want to flat tow a short distance at low speeds you won't have to get the fanciest tow bar. I recommend using the Tow Ready tow bar # 63180 with adapter # RM-025. This tow bar has a maximum speed rating of 45 miles per hour so it is perfect for your low speed application.
I also recommend safety cables # C80176 rated for 7,500 pounds.... view full answer...
If you use a weight distribution system with your 2001 Chevy Astro Van we have products that would tow 5,000 lbs with it.
First for a hitch you would need the part # C13035.
The best way to pick out a weight distribution system is to base it off of the loaded tongue weight of the setup when it is loaded and ready to tow. This figure also includes the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. I attached a help article on determining tongue weight for you to check out... view full answer...
