- Trailer Brake Controller For A 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee
- I would not be able to tell you what breaking system is on your 2011 Damon Daybreak motorhome, you should be able to give the manufacturer or the dealer a call and they would be able to help you.
For your 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee, I recommend the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller # RED44FR. This brake controller is easy to use, and installs out of the way getting rid of the standard bulk of regular brake controllers.
If you do not have the factory tow package, you're going...

- Short of replacing the weight distribution you already have to one that includes sway control the Curt True Course Electronic Sway Control System # C94VV is a great choice. Since it can be installed virtually anywhere on your trailer, and is so easy to install, it makes it extremely versatile. It uses a gyroscope to sense movement in the trailer and applies the trailer's brakes when necessary to keep it in line with your Jeep.

- I will start by saying the Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 53" Long # TH711420 are indeed the correct crossbars for your 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee, so you are 1/3 of the way to a full roof rack already. You are also correct in that you will need a few more parts to get them attached to those black and chrome bars on your roof.

- A bolt-on axle over-under kit like # K71-384-00 and # K71-385-00 will typically give your trailer between 4 and 5-inches of lift. The exact amount of lift depends on the axle diameter and the height of the leaf spring stack. Lift will be the sum of the axle diameter plus the height of the spring stack. Kit # K71-385-00 works for axles with 3-inch diameter
Installing an axle over-under lift kit on a trailer is not a complex job but it does require the right safety equipment to avoid risk...

- The Replacement Rubber Strip for Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack Crossbars # MAL63TR are designed to fit the Malone Airflow2 roof rack crossbars. I measured one of our Malone Aero crossbars and found out that the T-bolt slot measures out to be 1/4 inch x 13/16 inch with a top opening measuring 7/16 inches. With yours being 7/16 inches x 1/2 inches you will have to modify the strip for it to fit properly. We will not have a direct fitting rubber strip available for your OMAC crossbars.
