  • Recommended 5th Wheel Base Rails for a 2021 Ford F-150 W/ 5.5' Bed
  • The Curt Universal Fifth Wheel Base Rails with Installation Kitt # C16200 is not going to work with your 2021 Ford F-150, unfortunately. Instead, I recommend going with the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit # C38ZV which is a custom fit kit that will work with your F-150, includes the mounting brackets, install hardware, and is made in the USA.

  • Will The Curt 5TH Wheel Rail Kit Allow For Reese Sliding 5TH Wheel 30051 pm 2015 Ford F-150?
  • Since the Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch 30051 fits into industry standard rails which is the same pattern Curt uses for their rail kits you are able to use them Andre. For your 2015 Ford F-150 you would need the Fifth Wheel Installation Kit # C38ZV which includes the above bed rails and custom fit below bed mounting brackets. The Hopkins Wiring # 41157 will allow you to tee into the bumper 7-way and add another 7-way connector in your bed. This protects both the trailer wiring and bumper...

  • Replacement Base Rail Hardware For A 2004 Dodge Ram 3500 DRW With Valley Base Rails
  • Hey Gary, Base rail components unfortunately aren't cross compatible between brands so you'll likely have a hard time finding new hardware unless you're just referring to the nuts and bolts. If the under bed mounting brackets are also worn you'll need a complete replacement. If it's just the nuts and bolt's you're needing then you can measure the bolt length, diameter, and grade and then thread size and just get replacements at your local hardware store. For a complete replacement you'll...

  • Recommended Sliding 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch For A 2024 Ford F-350 With An Inclined Wraparound Drivew
  • The Curt Q-Series fifth wheel hitches, like the Q-20 # C16530-16020 you were looking at, have been known to have compatibility issues with certain pin boxes that ends up wearing the head out too quickly. Depending on the severity of the grading you could be placing a lot of stress on the head which will eventually wear down the bushings and require complete replacement of the head unit. It's a great hitch but with it being known to wear quicker and this being your main concern I recommend...

  • What Parts Are Needed To Add Hydrastar Disc Brakes to 2020 Grand Design 310GKR With Dexter 7K Axles
  • You will need the Hydrastar Disc Brake Kit # HSE7K-T1 along with 4 Grease Caps # F001526 for your 2020 Grand Design 310GKR. The kit contains the correct hub/rotors, calipers, brackets, hardware, lines and actuator you will need. The 2020 and newer GM trucks will not require an Adapter Module # HBA-CAM but you will need to make sure the truck is up to date on the controller software and it is switched to electric over hydraulic mode.

  • Replacement Pin Box For 5TH Wheel With Lippert 1116 Pin Box To Connect To Gooseneck Hitch Ball
  • The best option is to use the Reese Goose Box # RP94716-61301 as this is currently the only replacement pin box approved by Lippert to not void the frame warranty on your 5th wheel camper. Do understand that this pin box does have a maximum trailer capacity of 16,000lbs so it will only slightly reduce your maximum loaded capacity. You will need the Safety Chain Kit # RP49151 since you are switching to a ball connection and all ball connections require safety chains by law.

  • Is The B&W Custom Installation Kit BW39FR A Complete Install Kit
  • Hello Chris. The B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # BW39FR is indeed a comprehensive, complete install kit. So, you will get everything you need to install your Reese 16K hitch in your truck - frame brackets, hardware and rails. I recommend these B&W kits as often as possible since they are generally priced much lower than other brands. B&W is made here in the USA too. As long as you don't mind the rails being gray instead of black this will definitely...

  • Lift Kit Options For A 2004 Keystone Cougar 5th Wheel Trailer
  • Hey Cody, We do offer replacement suspension components but to increase your trailer's height you'll want to go with an over-under conversion kit like Dexter's # K71-384-00 (2-3/8" diameter axles) or # K71-385-00 (3" diameter axles). You'll need to first measure the diameter of your axle tubes and check if you're suspension underslung or overslung. You'll need an underslung suspension in order to use these kits. These are designed to "flip" the leaf springs to the top of the axle (overslung)...

  • Availability Of Bracket/Hardware Kit For Reinstalling Used Air Bags On A 2001 Ram 2500
  • Hello Clifford, we can definitely set you up with air bags for your 2001 Ram 2500. Unfortunately, we do not offer a bracket or hardware kit that will allow you to transfer the air bags from your 2020 F-150. Even if we did, we generally do not recommend reinstalling a used set of air bags. Your best option will be to get a new air bag kit for the 2001 Ram 2500. For that you can use the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL57215. Just keep in mind that this kit is not compatible...

  • Why Would A Trailer Tire Sit Crooked After Towing
  • Hey Allen, Bearing fitment is precise down to ten thousandth of an inch so it you have the incorrect bearings installed in your hub there will be play on the spindle, which can cause the bearings to overheat and either explode out inside the hub or melt to the spindle. Play in the bearings will also cause the wheel to sit crooked but so can a bent axle. I would scrap what you have and start fresh by measuring the spindle with a digital caliper # PTW80157 at points B, C, and D on the...

You can choose from the following based on the width of your doorway: -23-3/4" to 24-1/4" Wide Doorways - 3 Steps # MR45RR -23-3/4" to 24-1/4" Wide Doorways - 4 Steps # MR75RR -27-3/4" to 28-1/4" Wide Doorways - 3 Steps # MR65RR -27-3/4" to 28-1/4" Wide Doorways - 4 Steps # MR85RR

  • Lubricating Instructions for the Reese 69220 Sidewinder
  • I did some research and it looks like all Reese provides instruction wise for the Reese Sidewinder 5th Wheel King Pin with Rotating Turret # RP34FR is: 1. Lubricate wedge screw with white lithium grease, working the wedge through it’s entire travel will extend the longevity of your product. 2. Use lithium grease to lubricate the pivot shaft, to allow for smooth function of the turret. 3. Some towing setups may require a castle nut torque higher than the listed 80 ft-lbs due to vehicle/trailer...
