  • What Size Chain Links Does Titan Chain Repair Pliers for Light Truck Snow Tire Chains # TCRP2 Fit

  • Recommended ST205/75r14 Tires for Rockwood High Wall Camper with 3766-lbs GVWR
  • Yes, upgrading to a Load Range D tire like the Karrier ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range D # AM10235 will certainly give you some added peace of mind and these tires have a 2200-lbs per tire capacity (4400-lbs total), so they're well rated for your 3766-lbs GVWR trailer. I will say that the ST205/75r14 Load Range C # AM10234 have a 1,925-lbs capacity, so they're still rated well for your trailer, but you're not hurting anything by adding a bit beefier tire. With that said,...

  • Can Bias Ply Spare Be Used on Trailer with Radial Tires
  • Yes, as long as the spare tire is the same size, load range (weight rating) and has the matching wheel bolt pattern you can use a bias ply spare to replace a radial main tire for the short distance you'll travel to get the radial repaired or replaced. For example, the 5-on-4-1/2 bias ply # AM31233 can be used as a spare to replace radial # AM31994. You do not want to run the trailer with mixed tires for any substantial distance but to get you to a repair shop it is fine.

  • Will Screen Door and Entry Door Close Normally with SolidSteps in Place?
  • When the Lippert # LC791572 steps are properly installed with the threshold plate firmly against the outside threshold you should have no issues. The only thing we hear from customers is how much they love them! While you have your tools out you might as well take down those old stock rattle-trap steps that came stock on your trailer and install the Lippert # LC664640 locking steel box just made to fit in the spot where the steps were. Great spot for black water supplies, or roadside...

  • Should Complete Repair Kit for Roadmaster Falcon 5250 Tow Bar be Used and Kit Instructions
  • The best option for your Roadmaster Falcon 5250 tow bar is to use the Complete Repair Kit for Roadmaster Falcon Tow Bar 5250 # RM-910003-55 because it will allow you the most service to your tow bar - replacing its shoulder bolts, bushings, washers and end caps. I also want to note that you should check the tow bar's serial number; if it is lower than 23240, you will also need 2 of the # RM-200031-00 replacement bushings for a complete repair. I have added a cut out from the installation...

  • Titan Tire Chain Correct Fitment For a 2006 Toyota Tundra With 265/70-17 Tires
  • You will need the smaller Titan Chain Tire Chains # TC2526 for your 2006 Toyota Tundra with 265/70-17 tires. The Chains # TC2533 are for larger tires and will not fit your Tundra's tires. I recommend picking up a spare Rubber Strap # TCRE-1 since that is the weak point of the chains and can break. This will allow you to repair the chains if they should become damaged while you are using them.

  • Kuat Bike Rack to Carry Fat Bikes with 4 Inch Tires
  • The Kuat Sherpa 2.0, part # SH22G, can carry up to 3 inch tires maximum because the trays are fixed. The Kuat NV 2.0 Base, part # BA12B, can fit up to 4.8 inch tires. The racks are fairly similar other than the maximum tire size and weight capacity. Also, we have the Kuat NV 2.0, part # NV22G, which is also similar with the higher capacities. It also includes a built-in bike repair stand.

  • Will Installing a Trailer Hitch Void the Warranty on a 2011 Dodge Ram 1500
  • Installing a trailer hitch like the Draw-Tite hitch, # 75662, will not void your warranty on your 2011 Dodge Ram 1500. Consumers of aftermarket products are protected by the Federal Magnusson - Moss Warranty Act. The Act states that if something breaks on your vehicle and you take it in for warranty repair, the dealer must honor your warranty unless whatever modifications you have added to your vehicle actually caused the probĀ­lem in question. You do not have to take the truck and hitch...

  • Replacement Cab-Over Camper Jacks For 1973 Aristocrat Camper
  • Congratulations on the new to you truck bed camper. I recommend to use the Brophy Heavy Duty Cable Camper Jacks part # CX74 which will allow you to load and unload your truck camper. The best thing about these camper jacks is you don't have to permanently install them. The lift brackets simply go under the camper and you can crank them to lift. Depending on what kind of lock it is, you may be able to cut it off with a dremel tool if it's a padlock style lock. If it's a round lock cylinder...

  • How To Measure To Replace Damaged Trailer Spindle
  • We do not carry repair sleeves unfortunately. If the damage is severe you may consider replacing the spindle with a new one. I have attached a link of the spindles that we carry. If you follow the chart at the top of the page it easy to figure out the replacement. You will need a digital caliper like part # PTW80157 to measure the spindle. I have attached that diagram to this answer as well. I highly recommend to consider replacing it because a damaged spindle can eventually lead to bearing...

  • Recommended Bike Rack for 2005 Volvo S60
  • There is definitely a bike rack that will work for you, but the first thing you'll need is a hitch if you do not already have one. I recommend the Draw-Tite # 36297, which is a Class II hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver that is confirmed to fit your 2005 Volvo S60. For a 2-bike platform rack that will work with a women's titanium bike and lightweight electric bike I strongly recommend the Kuat NV 2.0 # NV12B. A rack that will be getting a lot of use carrying nice bikes is going to need to...

  • Can an ST225/75D15 Tire be Used as a Temporary Spare for an ST205/75D15 Trailer Tire
  • You can use an ST225/75D15 as a temporary spare (provided the wheel is 6 or 6-1/2 inches wide) but you definitely do not want to have it on for long. I would say that it is fine to use to get you to a place that can repair or replace the 205/75-15. For replacement 205/75-15s we have a load range C, # AM1ST92 that would work great for you. The 225 will be 13/16 inches wider and about 1 inch taller so it will affect how the trailer tracks and put added stress on the 205 side. I have included...

  • Can Radial Load Range C Trailer Tires be Used in Place of Bias Ply Load Range D 215/75-14 Tires
  • First, you do want to make sure the tires are the same type, radial or bias ply. But in the case of a spare, since it is a temporary situation you can mix them as long as you get the tire repaired or replaced as soon as possible. As far as going to a 215/75R14 radial tire, load range C, like # AM10229, as long as the 1,870 pound capacity at 50 psi is enough (total of 3,740 pounds for one axle) then you can absolutely switch to radials. I have included a link to our FAQ article on trailer...

  • How to Determine if a Tire and Wheel Combo Fits a Northern Tool Hub 572061
  • Tire and wheel combo # AM31241 is designed to fit on a hub with a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern. I have included a link to the right that shows how to measure bolt pattern. Also, the center pilot hole is 3.19 inches and it is designed for 1/2"-20 hub studs. We do not carry Northern tool parts so measuring to ensure fit is essential.

  • Can Shasta Trailer Replace 225/75-15 Tires With 205/75-15 Tires
  • Thanks for the photo and it is a great idea to replace your Shasta's 225/75-15 car tires with trailer tires that are size 205/75-15, which will be 1.2" smaller in diameter and 0.8" narrower. It will look great on your trailer and not too small as they are very close in size. For trailer tires that are 205/75-15 and have the right load capacity I recommend the Westlake ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range D # LHWL300 because they have a deep 10/32" tread for continually great traction...

  • Snow Chain Availability For 2008 Pontiac Grand Prix GXP With 255/45R18 Tire Size
  • The Thule CG9 Tire Chains, part # TH2004205104, will fit the 255/45R18 tire size. We may have chains that will fit that tire size but if your owners manual states not to use chains on your 2008 Pontiac Grand Prix GXP, you cannot use chains. If you are driving in an area that requires chains like in the mountains or any area that requires you to have chains on by law, you could use chains that require 0 millimeters of clearance like the Thule K-Summit Tire Chains, part # TH02230K44, just...

  • Can ST235/80R16 Tire Be Used as a Spare on 5th Wheel That Has ST235/85R16 Tires
  • Both of the trailer tire sizes you referenced, ST235/80R16 and ST235/85R16, fit the same wheel sizes. Both will fit 16-inch wheels with widths of 6-, 6-1/2-, 7- and 7-1/2-inches. The dimension that differs between these two tires is their overall diameter when they are inflated to their rated pressures. ST235/80R16 tires will have an overall diameter of approximately 30.9-inches while a fully-inflated ST235/85R16 tire's overall diameter will be approximately 31.6-inches. The other difference...

  • Bike Rack Recommendation for Fat Bike With 4 Inch Tire Width
  • There are bike racks that can accommodate your fat bike with a 4 inch tire including the Thule EasyFold XT # TH903202. I also recommend checking out the Kuat NV 2.0 # NV22B along with the Phat Bike Adapter Kit # APBK, which will allow you to use tires that are up to 4.8" wide on the NV 2.0. This bike rack uses ratcheting hooks to grip your bike by its tires so there is no frame contact, features an integrated foot lever so you can tilt and fold the rack and has sliding ratcheting straps...

  • Compatibility of A-Frame Tool Box with Spare Tire Carrier on 20 Foot Big Tex Tilt Trailer
  • The A-Frame Trailer Tongue Toolbox # 350980 will fit on an A-frame trailer where the frame measures 17-1/2 inches edge to edge and go back from that location 15-1/2 inches along the frame. This will let you know if there is room for your spare if mounted in this location. This is not the only mount option, but is the most common for this box. It can be moved closer to the coupler if space is an issue. If there is not enough room for your current spare, you may want to consider the Fulton...
