Expert Answers about Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty


  • Does Trailair Rota-Flex 5th Wheel Pin Box Have Bolster Plate
  • I spoke with my contact at Lippert regarding the Trailair Rota-Flex 5th Wheel Pin Box # LC328329 and he said that the heavy-duty rubber compound that's built into the head assembly serves as the bolster plate. It will do a great job of absorbing bumps and road shock as well as adding support to the connection. I have also attached an image pointing out this component on the pin box.

  • Can I Get the Adco RV Cover without Tyre Gards?
  • The Adco RV Cover w/ Tyre Gards for 5th Wheel Trailer - All-Climate + Wind - Tyvek - 40' Long # 290-34857 doesn't come without the tire covers. The Tyre Guards are sold separately but they do not sell any cover without the Tyre Gards. The manufacturer basically adds the UV tire protection as a bonus, as they would otherwise cost you the additional money.

  • What Gauge Steel Are the B&W Truck Cab Protectors/Headache Racks Made From
  • I spoke with my contact and B&W and the Custom Headache Rack # BWPUCP7500WA is made of 10 gauge steel except for the flat plates that attach to the bed sides. Those are 7 gauge. This rack is not tested with toolboxes or tonneau covers so it is difficult to determine if it will work in conjunction with those items. It likely will not work if the tonneau cover blocks the lip in the inner part of the bed sides.

  • Is The Hitch Ball Welded To The Mount Plate On the Reese Above-Bed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch #RP58079?
  • The Reese Above-Bed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch - 25,000 lbs, # RP58079, has a 2-5/16 inch hitch ball that is held in place with a snap ring. This design allows the hitch ball to rotate reducing binding with the gooseneck coupler. It has a nice powder coat finish to resist corrosion and the hitch ball is a durable, heat treated ball. If you are looking for a welded option, you may be interested in the Curt 25K Gooseneck Plate for Fifth Wheel Rail item # 16055, or the Curt Spyder Gooseneck...

  • Tire Chain Recommendation For 2000 Ford F-250 Super Duty
  • I spoke with my contact at Titan chains and they told me that their chains are made in China. We do offer tire chains that will fit your 20000 Ford F-250 Super Duty 4X4, but are not made in the U.S. Tire chains are based on your tire size. If your tires are 215/85-16, I recommend the Thule XG12 Pro, part # TH01594245. These are self-centering and self-tensioning dual-sided, D-shape links, which are designed for a smoother ride while still gripping in snow and ice. Thule chains are made...

  • From What Material is Stromberg Carlson 5th Wheel Tailgate Constructed
  • The Stromberg Carlson fifth-wheel tail gate is made of heavy duty steel tubing. It should work well on your 1999 Ford Super Duty, and will stand up longer than other basic, vinyl tail gates just because it is fully constructed out of steel. This tail gate is also backed by a 1-year limited warranty, and is made in the USA.

  • The license plate bracket for the Hopkins Smart Hitch Backup Camera # HM50002 is indeed made up of a durable plastic. This keeps it strong enough to hold up to everyday use while also eliminating any concerns over rust and corrosion since it's going to be sitting out in the elements. I have attached a short video demonstration on this system that you can check out as well.

  • Is Titan Disc Brake Kit T4843800 Made in the USA?
  • The Titan Disc Brake Kit and BrakeRite Electric-Hydraulic Actuator - Tandem, 3,500-lb Axle # T4843800 are great quality but they are not manufactured in the USA. The bearings are also not Timken brand as the manufacturer makes their own bearings. Titan was bought by Dexter which is an USA made company so the major components can be used as an alternative. For instance the Dexter DX Series Electric Over Hydraulic Brake Actuator for Disc Brakes - 1,600 psi # K71-651 can be used as an alternative...

  • Does Reese Make the Ford Hitch Prep Fifth Wheel Rails
  • Reese Elite underbed rails and the Ford hitch prep packages are the exact same underbed rail systems. Reese makes the kits for Ford. For more info on this check out the link I attached to the right. The Curt leg kit part # C16017 that you referenced would install in either the Reese Elite or the Ford hitch prep package as long as everything was installed correctly. We have not heard of any issues where the Curt hitches designed for the Ford hitch prep didn't fit.
