  • Will Diversi-Tech Aluminum Ball Mount Fit a 2004 Ford F-250 Super Duty
  • The Diversi-Tech Aluminum Ball Mount, part # DTBM5200, is designed to fit in 2 inch receiver hitches. To my knowledge, none of the 2004 F-250 models were built with the larger 2-1/2 inch receivers. Just to be sure, measure your hitch and make sure it is a 2 inch by 2 inch square receiver opening.

  • Will SumoSprings Help 2014 Ford F-350 w/ 4WD From Bottoming Out When Towing Trailer
  • SumoSprings will absolutely help your 4-wheel drive 2014 Ford F-350 from bottoming out when you are towing your large gooseneck trailer. The way these springs work is that they act as a buffer for your factory suspension, so when you are towing and the back end of your truck sags, they will take the brunt of that weight, and when going over bumps, the springs will engage even more, compressing to reduce the stress put on your F-350's leaf springs. The best option for your 4WD 2014 F-350,...

  • Will Superglide #4400 5th Wheel Frame Brackets Work with Other Brands of Fixed Mount Hitches
  • We do not recommend mixing component parts from different manufacturers even though it may be possible to do so. The reason is that neither the manufacturer of your under-bed brackets (Superglide) nor the manufacturer of any other fixed 5th wheel hitch and base rails will have tested their components with those from the other company. The result of this would be a combined system of unconfirmed capacity. For this reason we cannot recommend combining towing components not designed for use...

  • Rear Anti-Sway Bar For 2000 Ford F-250 Super Duty 2WD
  • While we have a good option for an anti-sway that will help with overall control of your 2000 Ford F-250 2WD, a steering stabilizer won't fit. The reason why isn't that they are too long or big, it's simply that the stabilizer won't physically fit because it installs in place of the steering damper which is there on 4WD options but not your 2WD. So the best option that will help keep your F-250 steady is a rear anti-sway bar, which does fit your 2WD 2000 Ford F-250: - Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway...

  • Recommendations for Towing a 5th Wheel with a Lifted 2012 Ford F-250
  • I have good news, there is no standard height for towing with your truck. It all is specific to the trailer's needs that you are wanting to tow. I recommend finding some level ground to take a few measurements. The first measurement would be from the ground to the bottom of the truck bed floor, this will give you A. The second is from the ground to the bottom of the pin box on the trailer, this will give you B. The difference between A and B is the height you will need when looking...

  • Rear Mud Flaps for a 2001 Ford F-350 with Single Real Wheels
  • We show Husky Liners mud flaps # HL57401 as a fit for the 2001 Ford F-350, non-dually, without add-on fender flares. If the truck does have add-on fender flares then you would need to use a ball mount-mounted system such as # RM-4400 or # ERT00108 for a 2 inch trailer hitch or # ERT00110 for a 2-1/2 inch trailer hitch.

  • Will the Wesin Fey Diamonstep # 20002 Fit a 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty?
  • I have an answer for you. I talked with my contact at Westin and he said that, unfortunately, the Westin Fey Diamondstep Rear Bumper - Silver Powder Coated Steel # 20002 are designed to fit Ford F-250s up to 1998. We unfortunately do not offer any bumpers for your Ford F-250 at this time.

  • Can Air Lift Air Bags be Installed on a 2005 Ford Super Duty with Reese Custom 5th Wheel Rail Kit
  • Yes, you can use the Air Lift air bag helper springs # AL89398 on your 2005 Ford Super Duty with the Reese custom 5th wheel kit installed. But there are some things to keep in mind. It looks like the custom Reese kits for your truck include a bolt that goes through the center of each bracket and a block on the inboard side of the frame. This air bag kit uses the same hole and it is permissible to have both installed at the same time since the air bag brackets will be on the opposite side...

  • Is there a Equalizer for Tandem Axle RV to Gain Two Inches Height from Current TREQ310?
  • There is not an equalizer that will give you that height in the center. The # TREQ310 you already have are the tallest standard equalizer with the 4 inch center to center height. If you need to add 2 inches to your system, you will either need to replace that center hanger or you can use the Lippert Components Center Point by Trailair Air-Ride Suspension Upgrade - Tandem Axle # LC1565391 which will raise that center by 2 inches based on the mounting design. I've linked the page to all...

  • The Curt X5 5th Wheel Base Rail Adapter part # C16210 is designed to work with the Curt Double Lock, Flip and Store Underbed Gooseneck Hitches.

  • Will the Timbren Front Suspension Enhancement System Fit a Lifted 2004 Ford F-250
  • Yes, you should be able to install the Timbren Front Suspension Enhancement System part # TFF350SD4 on your 2004 Ford F-250 with Old Man Emu ARB Leaf Springs. However, if the distance between the bottom of the frame and top of the leaf spring pack has changed which I can only assume it has then you will need spacers to fill the gap until you have around 1/2" - 1" from the bottom of the Timbren and top of the leaf spring pack. The Timbren spring and bracket will measure 4" tall therefore...

  • Will B and W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch Fit 2002 Ford F-250 with Firestone Air Bags
  • Yes, you can install a B and W Gooseneck Hitch part # BWGNRK1108 in your 2002 Ford F-250 that has the Firestone air bag kit as long as the kit you have is part # F2550 installed as this Firestone kit was designed to allow in-bed hitches like this to fit. If instead you had the # F2071 you'd need to replace it with the # F2550 as that kit is not designed for use with in bed hitches. If you are unsure which kit you have look at where the air bags are relative to the trailer frame. If they...

  • Compatibility of Tekonsha 90195 P3 Brake Controller With Electric/Hydraulic Trailer Braking Systems
  • The Tekonsha P3, you mentioned, part # 90195 is compatible right out of the box with electric over hydraulic brake actuators like the Hydrastar # HBA-12 you referred to. You will need the # 3035-P brake controller wiring harness to install the controller. The harness would plug into the existing connector located under the dash as shown in the linked video. The procedure for setting the controller is mentioned on page 4 of the owner's manual, which I've linked for you.

  • Replacement 7-Way Connector for 2006 Ford F-350 Super Duty
  • We do have replacement 7-way connectors for your 2006 Ford F-350 Super Duty, though I'm not 100 percent certain what are are referring to in terms of also wanting a pigtail. What I recommend is replacing your 7-way with the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package - 7-Way and 4-Pole Flat Connectors # C55774. This will plug into your tow package harness and give you a brand new 7-way with the ability to also plug in a 4-way if needed. Since you mentioned having a...

  • Lift Kit for 1,500 lb #9 Torfllex Dexter Axle
  • My contact at Dexter confirmed that the Torflex Lift Kit # K71-723-01 will work for your 1,500 lb #9 Torflex axle. That being said, based on your serial number 122265412, I was able to confirm you have a top mounted axle. So in order to install the lift kit, you'll need to replace the existing top mount hangers with a side mount hanger kit, Dexter part number A/P-165-00. You'll need to source that locally though, as we do not carry it.

  • Custom Fit Heavy Duty Grille Guard for 2012 Ford F-350
  • I do have an option for you, however, the Westin HDX Grille Guard with Punch Plate # 57-2365 is not a fit for your truck. The compatible Westin HDX Grille Guard for your 2012 Ford F-350 is item # 57-92375. For your year truck, there is a winch mount built in to the HDX grill guard as well, as seen in the attached video at the bottom of the page. The # 57-2365 you referenced is only confirmed to fit the following vehicles: 2008 - 2010 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty 2008 - 2010 Ford F-350,...

  • Clearance Concerns For Fifth Wheel On 2015 Ford F-350 Super-Duty With 8 Ft Bed
  • I don't think you are going to have an issue with your new 2015 Ford F-350. Since you have a fifth-wheel hitch already installed in your 2006 F-250, the above bed rails will normally sit about 2 inches above the bed of the truck. The adapter I recommend, part # RP30156, measures about 3 inches to the top of the adapter when installed in the pucks on your new truck. That would be a difference of about an inch. This adapter has a weight capacity of 20,000 lbs, and can work with standard...
