Hey Scott, we do have winches that ratchet in and out like you are looking for like with the Dutton Lainson part # DL15721. This will let you feed the winch out slowly like you are wanting when letting the boat down the ramp. view full answer...
Hey Shawn, so for wood bunks we have vertical bunks like the part # HP52FR which would attach to the crossmembers of the trailer frame. view full answer...
Thanks for all of the details Henry!
I recommend picking up the Hopkins # 37185 and the Curt No-Drill Bracket # C57202 to get the reverse signal from your Expedition to your boat trailer. All you have to do is plug in the 4-Way to your currently 4-Way, connect the ground, and then connect the purple wire to your reverse signal.
The Hopkins connector is one of my favorites because it upgrades your 4-Way to a 4-Way and a 7-Way so you don't have to remove the adapter when you need to tow... view full answer...
Hey Ken, thanks for reaching out!
The MORryde ALLTREK 4000 Shock Absorbing Equalizers, 33" Wheelbase # MR89DR or 35" Wheelbase # MR29DR, are a good upgrade to a standard leaf spring suspension and will help to provide a better ride quality for your trailer and boat.
There are definitely better suspension upgrades like the Roadmaster Comfort Ride Leaf Spring Suspension Kit w/ Shock Absorbers # RM-2460-2570, but this is a really big suspension upgrade so it is priced accordingly.

Hey Moran,
The Loadstar ST185/80D13 Bias Trailer Tire with 13" Galvanized Wheel # AM3S334 you were already looking at is going to be the best option for your boat trailer if you go boating in salt water. For fresh water you'll want to go with a painted wheel like the # AM3S331 instead. view full answer...
Hello Darren. It sounds like you are looking for a shock absorbing ball mount for towing your boat trailer. For your setup you will want something at least 12K rated. I recommend the Gen-Y Torsion 2-Ball Mount # 325-GH-1224. This ball mount uses torsion rubber to absorb shock. This is great because you get noticeable results with zero maintenance. It features 4 stacked receivers for height adjustment and it comes with both a 2" and a 2-5/16" ball. This particular model is rated for16,000... view full answer...
Hello Charles, I can definitely point you in the right direction. The 3,250 lb axles SHOULD use the same bearings and seals as a 3,500 lb axle. It does kind of depend on when the trailer was made though. Some older trailers may not necessarily use the same standard bearing sizing, and unfortunately, I cannot confirm your bearing sizes just by knowing the weight capacity and make or trailer.
Your best bet will be to remove a hub and inspect the bearings. Each bearing should have a number... view full answer...
For your Loadrite Boat Trailer with ST205/75/R14 tires, I recommend checking out the Kenda Karrier ST205/75R14 Radial Tire # AM34659.
This is a tire and wheel combination that has a 5 on 4 1/2" bolt pattern, ST205/75R14 tires, and has a ply rating of 8 with a 2,200-lb maximum load at 75 PSI.
For an upgraded lug nut Americana Trailer Wheel Lug Nut # AM26NR.
These lug nuts will fit on a 1/2-20 wheel bolt, measures 1 1/2" long, and is made of stainless steel to help resist rust and corrosion. view full answer...
Good afternoon Liz, there sure is! I highly recommend checking out the etrailer Ball Mount w/ Pre-Torqued # e99DR; it is rated at 10k lbs and has a drop of 2" which sounds perfect for your application. The ball is pre-torqued for you and the ball and hardware are coated in black nickel, which holds up to corrosion better than standard chrome balls (48hr salt rating vs 72hr salt rating). You won't have to worry about the water eating away at your ball mount when dropping your boat in the water. view full answer...
To install the Brake Mounting Flange # 4-34 on your 2,000 lb axle you'll need to have an experienced welder/trailer shop do the installation for you as they would know the best placement for the flange. We don't do that kind of installation so I don't have any info regarding the placement of the flange.
You can definitely get a new axle with a flange pre-installed but that's something you'll need to talk with a trailer shop about as the dimensions you took aren't standard.

Hey Mike! The closest amber LED light I have to what you're looking for is the Peterson Clearance or Side Marker Trailer Light w/ Reflector item # M116A. It has mounting holes that are 3-1/8" on center. Most of our amber LED clearance lights have 3" on center mounting holes. This is the closest one to 3-1/2". view full answer...
Thanks for the question Clayton, and definitely go with stainless steel U-bolts over galvanized for saltwater. Stainless steel is going to last longer than galvanized in that environment so it's the better option. Here are the options for stainless steel U-bolts depending on the size you need:
- 3" Long x 3-1/8" Wide: CE Smith U-Bolt - Stainless Steel # CE15502A
- 3" Long x 4-1/8" Wide: CE Smith U-Bolt - Stainless Steel # CE15504A
- 4" Long x 3-1/8" Wide: CE Smith U-Bolt - Stainless... view full answer...
Hey Thomas,
Yes, the RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit # RAS3611-HD would help with the loads you're hauling around in your 2005 F-250. This attaches to the leaf springs so it'll be compatible even though you have a 6" lift. The best part of this upgrade is that it requires no maintenance and won't affect your unloaded ride quality like other enhancements can.
This will help reduce sagging which will keep your F-250 closer to level which allows for better handling... view full answer...
Hey Spencer, so I would go with the Optronics brand as they're really solid so for that size you'd want the part # AL90AB for amber and part # AL90RB for red. view full answer...
Hey Scott, thanks for reaching out!
A common misconception is that bigger tires/wheels means they are better. While bigger tires can generally handle more weight, as long as a tire isn't being overloaded or the max speed is exceeded then the tire will be perfectly safe to use.
We've actually had instances where using a larger tire/wheel just causes a bigger headache because then you might have to deal with a different bolt pattern, larger hub size, or even the tire being too wide for... view full answer...
Hello Lindsay. We definitely should have some options for replacing the bunks on your trailer. That said, I do not have a way to know what size bunks you will need based off of the VIN. How long are the current bunks? Let me know in the comments below and I am happy to make a recommendation.
I have also included a link below that will show you our full selection of Bunk Boards. The 5' long bunks like part # CE27820 are quite common. Please do confirm the length you need and we can take... view full answer...
Hey Will, so we don't have an air bag kit that fits your 2011 GMC Yukon XL 2500 but we do have a really great solution with the Roadactive suspension kit part # RAS4611 which I would have recommended over an air bag kit anyway as it's an easier install, easier to maintain, and also improves ride quality and handling unlike all other options. view full answer...
I'm sorry to hear about your trouble and I would be happy to help you get your boat where it needs to go. For a hitch that fits your 2017 Tucson and won't need to be returned I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e54AR you were looking at. This has a bolt-on installation and a matte black finish.
The hitch also has a concealed cross tube so only the receiver will be visible at the back of your vehicle, giving it a nice clean look. The 2" receiver makes it a better choice over... view full answer...
Hey Neil thanks for your question. I will start by saying that we should be able to determine exactly what size tires you can or can't use and we can avoid the need for a return. I have linked our return policy for you below if you want to read it over.
As far as upgrading the rims on you boat trailer, it will completely depend on what kind of clearance you have in the wheel well/fender area. Our rule of thumb is that you want 3" between the tire and the fender on all sides, and at least... view full answer...
I'd be more than happy to help you out, Herb!
A common light kit for boat trailers is the Optronics Fleet LED Trailer Tail Lights w/ Grommets # TLL12RK which measure 6-1/2" long x 2-5/16" tall for the light face and are submersible. It's best to make your wiring connections with something like the Deka Heat Shrink Butt Connector Kit # DW05744-10 because they seal up the connections better than standard butt connectors.
If these lights don't match the dimensions of what you currently have... view full answer...
