Expert Answers about Off Road Lights

• Comparing Titan Chains With and Without Cams
• You are correct that cams are not generally made for off-road-use chains as the rough terrain increases the likelihood that they can come undone. When comparing the two Titan chains for your 265/75R16 tires, part # TC2828 and part # TC2828CAM, they are both great chains that have almost all of the same qualities (save for the cams). If you plan on travelling off-road, then go with the # TC2828. If you don't, then go with the # TC2828CAM since the cams make it much easier to get a tight...

• Comparing Timbren Axle-Less Suspension Kits for Regular Tires vs. Off-Road Tires
• The 3500-lb Timbren axle-less suspension kits # ASR3500S06 (regular tires) and # ASR35HDS01 (off-road tires) differ in that the kit for wider off-road tires provides a 2-inch greater distance from the mounting point on the trailer frame to the hub face. This 8-inch distance versus the 6-inches for the regular tire kit means wider off-road tires will have the necessary clearance to avoid contacting the trailer frame. The linked image for off-road kit # ASR35HDS01 shows the wider 8-inch...

• Selecting Correct ST235/80-16 Special Trailer Tires
• When putting new tires on a trailer the most important things are to ensure you select special trailer type tires (the ST type) in a compatible size and with the weight load range needed to handle the weight of the fully-loaded trailer. Special trailer tires are available in both bias ply and radial designs. Radial trailer tires like the Provider # PRG80235 that you referenced are better for highway driving since their sidewalls have more flex and since they are rated for up to 81-mph....

• Comparing Benefits of LT Light Truck vs. ST Special Trailer Tires
• In some applications a light truck tire, the LT type, will be preferable to the special trailer ST type tire. If driving off-road the stiffer sidewall of a bias ply LT tire may hold up better while the greater flex of a radial ST tire will work better for highway driving, especially at higher interstate driving speeds. The main reason any trailer tire fails is excess heat. Excess heat builds up in a tire for three main reasons: incorrect pressure, overloading and driving faster than the...

• Comparing SumoSprings and Timbren Off-Road Bump Stops for 2023 Toyota 4Runner
• The Timbren Active Off-Road Bumpstops part # TABSTORSEQ which are a fit for a 2023 Toyota 4Runner are pretty similar to the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs like part # SS68DR. The Timbrens provide more support but the SumoSprings ride smoother. Therefore, it all comes down to preference and how you'll be using them. I personally prefer the SumoSprings as they offer the best of both worlds, ride quality and support. The only difference between the SumoSprings part # SS68DR and part...

• Comparing Timbren Axle-Less 2K Trailer Suspension Systems with 4" Lift
• Great question! The Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System # ASR2KHDS04 has a standard size spindle which is why it is for regular tires. The Timbren Systems # ASR2KHDS03 and # ASR1THDS03 have longer spindles which can accommodate wider tires and the only difference between them is the slightly higher weight rating of the part # ASR1THDS03 (also known as the 1 Tonne by Timbren). All 3 kits are great options for off-road use because of the 4" lift, so it really boils down to what...

• Is the Ark Off-Road Coupler Better than The Lock N Roll Coupler?
• I like the compatibility of the Ark Articulating Off-Road Coupler item # AR44FR over the Lock N Roll Articulating Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler item # 336TS528. The Ark is compatible with any vehicle utilizing a standard 2" ball. The maximum capacity of the Ark 5,000 lbs is lower than the Lock N Roll 6,000 lbs but it still meets your weight capacity needs. Both require modification of your trailer for use. You will need the Buyers Products Black Receiver Tube item # 337RT25806B to mount...

• What is the Difference Between Bias Tires and Radial Tires
• When you are comparing a Bias tire, like part # AM3S450, and a Radial tire, like part # TR20514, the deciding factor on which one to use really comes down to the trailer that the tire will be on and what the trailer is used for. You are right that the Bias tires do have a stiffer sidewall, but that doesn't mean that they are stronger. The strength of a tire comes from the Load Range that it has. The stiffness of the Bias tire makes it better suited for off-road applications like farming....

• Selecting The Correct Timbren Jounce Springs For a 2022 Ford Maverick
• We have 2 sets of Timbren Jounce springs for your 2022 Ford Maverick. The 8,600LB Springs # T25MR and the 4,800LB Springs # T85MR.

• Thule Spare Me Spare Tire Mounted Bike Racks for 2014 Jeep Wrangler
• If I personally had to choose a rack, I would choose the Thule Spare Me, part # TH963PRO. The rack is economical, lightweight, and it includes it includes locks that both secure the rack to the vehicle and the bike to the rack, and it has great ground clearance. The rack is centered on the rear of the vehicle, so the weight of the bike won't apply as much torque to the tube that connects the bike rack to the spare tire mounting plate. The Spare Me will fit vehicle spare tires up to 10 inches...

• Can I use RoadActive Suspension with Timbren SES on 2010 Ford F-150 Raptor?
• Using these two products together is going to be a little bit of overkill, but I spoke with RoadActive Suspension and they mentioned that as long as your current bump stop (which would be replaced by a Timbren system) sits inboard towards the center of the vehicle from the U Bolts and Leaf Springs by about 1/4"-1/2", there shouldn't be any interference with the two components. If you've measured for clearance and have the room, and still wanted to add something like the Timbren SES # TFR1504R...

• Comparing Redarc Tow-Pro Elite and Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Trailer Brake Controller
• The main difference between the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite part # RED44FR and Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty part # RED24FR is that the Elite has a user controller mode geared towards off-road use. If you don't see yourself towing off-road often then the better buy is the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty. I have attached a review video on the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty below.

• What Type of Tires to Use on Home-Built Off-Road Trailer
• The term regular tires when used in the context of Timbren axle-less suspension systems like # A20RS545 distinguishes this kit from one that can be used with off-road trailer wheels/tires, such as kit # ASR1THDS03. Do please note that for a fabricated trailer you will want to use only trailer wheels and special trailer tires. Passenger vehicle wheels and tires are built differently and are not suitable for use on a trailer. Trailer wheels usually have different offset (the distance they...

• Which Would have Brighter Lights the Smoked or Non-Smoked Version of the Pacer Cab Truck Lights
• Between the Pacer Performance Hi-Five LED Truck Cab Lights # PP20-265 and the # PP20-265S the non-smoked version would give off a brighter light. Any time you put tinting on a lights lens you end up reducing the brightness of the lights behind them. This is especially true for LEDs as they do not handle tint as well as incandescent bulbs.

• Comparing The Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System To The FlexiRide Half Torsion Axle System
• For an off road overland trailer, I recommend you go with the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System with Hubs - 5 on 4-1/2 - Off-Road Tires - 1,200 lbs # A12WS545 and not just because we carry them...as I know seems like a conflict of interest. The Flexiride system even with a 1,400 lb capacity is not made for off road and the suspension is a torsion system with rubber cartridge on each side. The Timbren system uses more of a jounce style bumper that the company is known for regarding...
