  • Can Scissor Jacks Be Used to Level a 24 Foot Heavy Duty Car Hauler Trailer
  • Scissor jacks # UF48-979002 are meant to support weight but not lift it like you said so these jacks would not be the best option for your trailer. Scissor jack # JSC-30-IND is listed as having the ability to raise, lower, and stabilize so you could use it with handle # JCH-1. Or use drill attachment # UF48-979005 to speed up the process.

  • Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a Leased 2012 Honda Civic
  • The hitches that are available for your 2012 Honda Civic will require slight modifications to your vehicle to be installed. You will most likely need to modify the heat shield and will need to enlarge access holes to install the Curt Hitch # C11391 as well as any of the other hitches available for your vehicle. Since your vehicle is a leased car, I would recommend you get a trunk mounted bike rack. This would require no modifications to your vehicle and should work very well for you to...

  • What is the Measurement From the Hitch Pin to the End of the Shank On the Thule Post Pro?
  • Thule Hitching Post Pro # TH934XTR fits the class I hitch on your boyfriend's 2012 Honda Civic. The reason the old rack didn't fit is because in the past, class I hitches had a weld inside the receiver tube to restrict attachments to class I to keep people from overloading their hitches. What likely happened on the older bike rack is the shank on the rack is only designed for class II hitches and was hitting the weld and had to be cut shorter to work for the class I hitch. This Thule rack...
