Expert Answers about Lincoln Mark LT


  • How to Determine Axle Placement on a Custom 5 x 9 ATV and Motorcycle Trailer
  • When determining the axle placement on a trailer, an important factor to consider is the tongue weight. You want the tongue weight of the trailer to be approximately 10 percent of the gross trailer weight. Moving the axle rearward will increase the tongue weight of the trailer. A heavy tongue weight could cause issues with traction and sway when towing, but that is not as much of a concern on smaller trailers than it is on larger travel trailers or enclosed trailers. First, we want to...

  • Solution for Trailer that Sags When Generator is In Truck Bed when Using Weight Distribution
  • The Timbren kit part # TFR150D is going to give you additional suspension support to help out with the weight of your generator, but the ideal solution will be to add more spring bar tension to your weight distribution system. If you can try angling the spring bars further down or use fewer links on chain hangers to see if that helps.

  • Will an Air Spring Kit Work With 2006 Lincoln Mark LT and Fifth Wheel Hitch?
  • Unfortunately there is not an air bag kit that will work on your 2006 Lincoln Mark LT with an in-bed hitch; there is a jounce-style suspension enhancement system that is a fit, the Timbren # TFR150D for a 4WD model or # TFR1502D for a 2WD model. These springs do not affect the empty ride of your truck so they will not work the same as an air bag kit, but they are going to be beneficial when you tow your trailer, working to reduce body roll and absorb shock over rough roads. These springs...

  • Hitch Recommendation for a 2015 Mazda 2
  • The Curt Hitch part # C11073 that you referenced has been confirmed to fit your 2015 Mazda 2 so I would recommend it for you. If you plan to carry a bike rack or cargo carrier you will also need the stabilizer strap part # 18050. The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle is the Swagman XTC2 Bike Rack part # S64670. This rack has a ton of positive reviews from our customers who have tried it. Check out the review video I attached for more info.

  • Parts Needed to Install 7-Way and Brake Controller on 2008 Lincoln Mark LT
  • While the 7-way kit part # 118272 looks similar to the square connectors you have on your 2008 Lincoln Mark LT it does not fit your truck so you'd have to go a different route. If you have a 4-way currently all you'd need to convert it to a 7-way would be the part # 37185 if the trailer doesn't have brakes. If the trailer does have brakes you'd need to instead go with the part # ETBC7 and a brake controller like the Brake EVN part # TK63VR.

  • Can 1,500 lb Trailer Axle be Swapped for 3,500 lb Axle
  • What you are looking to do is very possible. It would just be a matter of picking out the 3,500 lb capacity trailer axle that matches the dimensions your trailer needs. Also, the welder you spoke with is spot-on with recommending buying an axle with the flange already installed as they are actually harder than you'd think to weld on since it requires special jigs so that the alignment is right. So to pick out an axle the two important dimensions you need is the distance from hub face to...

  • Towing Mirror Recommendation for a 2006 Lincoln Mark LT
  • I have a solution for towing mirrors for your 2006 Lincoln Mark LT, but there are no custom fit mirrors that will fit your vehicle. You will need to go with a universal towing mirror. The benefit is that universal mirrors are more economical and you can move them to most any other vehicle if you need to. The K-Source universal towing mirror, # KS3891, are designed to fit as many different mirror styles as possible. As long as the factory mirror on your 2006 Lincoln Mark LT has a lip...

  • Rain Guards for 2006 Lincoln Mark LT Windows
  • Thanks for reaching out! The correct rain guards for your 2006 Lincoln Mark LT comes from WeatherTech with their kit # WT82343 - this includes both the front and rear guards. For just rear guards you need part # WT81343 instead. I checked with Putco and they only offer the Front Rain Guards # P580018 which are black and not chrome, which is why I recommend the WeatherTech instead so all your rain guards are matching. Attached is a review video for you to check out.

  • Brake Controller Showing Overload Error Code
  • The OL or overload error code indicates a short in the brake output circuit. Start by examining the trailer connector. Make sure that the pins on the vehicle side of the connection and the sockets on the trailer side are not damaged or corroded. If you can see green corrosion on the pins or the sockets, there is a possibility that the corrosion may have spread to the interior of the connector itself, causing a short. Trace the output circuit back from the connector to the trailer brake...

  • Suspension Enhancement Comparison for 2006 Lincoln Mark LT, Timbrens or Air Bags
  • For your 2006 Lincoln Mark LT the Timbren kit part # TFR150D is a confirmed fit that will work well to provide additional suspension support. The advantage this kit has over air bags is that once you install it you basically don't have to worry or think about it again. Unlike air bags which require you to keep track of air pressure depending on how much suspension support is needed. The advantage to air bags though is that you do get to fine-tune the amount of support needed whereas Timbrens...

  • How to Determine How Much Air Pressure to Install in Firestone Ride Rite Bags
  • The Ride Rite Kit you would have installed on your 2006 Lincoln Mark LT would be our part # F2350. The amount of air pressure you will need will require you to do a bit of trial and error. I would recommend you load truck up and then keep inflating the bags till the suspension sits as level as it does when unloaded. That will be the ideal pressure for all situations. You always want to keep a minimum of 5 psi in the bags to prevent them from prematurely wearing out. This ensure the bags...

  • Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver for a 2006 Lincoln Mark LT
  • The installation instructions for Curt front mount receiver # 31352, see link, do not specify any vehicle modification for installation on your 2006 Lincoln Mark LT. But it is always possible that some trimming of an air dam or fascia may be needed on some models. We also have Draw-Tite hitch # 65043 which should not require any modification. The receiver will sit below the front fascia. I have linked videos and instructions for both hitches for you.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2007 Lincoln Mark LT Behind an RV After Disconnect Drive Shafts
  • I checked the owner's manual for your 2007 Lincoln Mark LT and you can flat tow it but the front (on 4x4s) and rear drive shafts must be disconnected. And of course they recommend a Ford/Lincoln dealership disconnect and reconnect the drive shafts for you. If this will work for you then there are several parts you will need to flat tow the truck: base plates, tow bar, safety cables, lights, and supplemental braking. For base plates you can use # 495-1A. They will fit 4x4 models with...

  • Brake Controller Harness Connection Port Location on a 2006 Lincoln Mark LT
  • If your 2006 Lincoln Mark LT is equipped with a factory 4-Way or 7-Way trailer wiring then the location of the brake controller connection port will be underneath the dash, left of the steering column, near the emergency brake pedal, or above the diagnostic port under the dash, see video link. This is where you would install the # 3035-P wiring harness adapter. If your Mark LT did not come with factory trailer wiring then you will need to hard wire the P3 brake controller, # 90195. The...

  • Recommended Towing Mirror Extensions for 2007 Lincoln Navigator
  • For your 2007 Lincoln Navigator, I recommend the K-Source Universal Dual Lens Towing Mirrors - Clip On - Pair # KS3990. These mirrors have a really nice and clean looking plastic housing that won't rust or corrode. The dual mirrors allow you to customize your view to reduce any blind spots. They attach with ratcheting straps that are made of heavy duty rubber to protect your factory mirror housing and reduce vibration. They have a quick release button for quick installation and removal.
