- First, thanks for the kind words! And even with the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SSR-114-47 on your 2016 Ford F-250, you can still absolutely use the SuperSway Stops on your truck, with their part number being the following:
- SuperSprings SuperSway Stops # SS65GR
It's important that you noted the overload spring currently has little to no engagement, because these stops are going to fix that issue. Without them, part of your F-250's suspension, the springs, really isn't being...

- In regards to a sliding fifth wheel hitch like the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # BWRVK3370, you can't tow with the hitch slide back away from the cab, this is only used for slow speed turning maneuvers. It would honestly ride horrible with the king pin this far from the rear axle anyhow. If you see yourself making frequent tight turns you might just want to go with the Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch part # DM8550024 since the slide feature is automatic so there's no...
view full answer... - Comparing Curt and Draw-Tite Front Mount Hitch Receivers for a 2018 Ford F-250 Super Duty
- It looks like the hitch pin hole on the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # C31078 will stick behind and/or below the fascia while the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 65076 will stick out far enough to easily reach the hitch pin hole.
The ultimate deciding factor is how you want it to look though. If you'd rather have more of a hidden receiver and you don't mind possibly having to reach behind the fascia to secure accessories then the Curt is the way to go, but if...

view full answer... - Should Air Bags Be Filled Before Or After The Truck has Been Loaded?
- That is a great question. The air bags like the # AL88289 should be kept at the minimum of 5 PSI at all times, even when you are not towing. You will then load the truck or hook up your camper first. Once that is done you will inflate the bags to the appropriate PSI. The idea is that you want the truck to be level. So you will load it down, then inflate the air bags until the truck is back to level. You can verify this by measuring the distance between the tire and the fender. Inflate the...

- Absolutely!
When the Curt Echo Wireless Brake Controller # C51180 was first announced I was a little skeptical of the Bluetooth connection myself. The release actually went fairly smoothly and while they've had a few issues since then, I'm confident in promoting this controller as Curt has been able to iron out any bugs with their app.
Once you have all of the settings in place the controller works on it's own, and the only thing you need the phone/app for is the manual override, but...

- Installing the # F2703 on your 2012 F-250 will require moving the block in your picture. However, I'm not sure if it can be moved to the top of the jounce stop since we don't have any information on it and neither did Firestone. I recommend checking with the manufacturer before attempting to move it to the top. The other option is to completely remove it.
If you are able to swap it with the jounce stop you can measure to see if a spacer will be required. You will need to measure the distance...

- If you don't have a port to plug in the wiring harness for your Advent Air RV Air Conditioner # ACM135 then you would need to get a new controller and air distribution box. Cutting the connector off would void your warranty and the instruction manual doesn't list the wire functions of the connector so it would be a guess as to where each wire would need to be connected to your current controller.
If you want your controls to be located up on the air distribution box then you'll want part...

- You cannot put RV batteries, marine batteries, and other deep cycle batteries away and forget about them when you’re not using them in the winter. All batteries can freeze if it gets cold enough, but AGM batteries can work at temperatures well below freezing. Although AGM batteries are maintenance-free and work well in cold weather, they still need to be checked and maintained during the winter months in storage.
All batteries have a natural state of self-discharge, and the worst thing...

- The Curt Custom Underbed OEM-Style Gooseneck Trailer Hitch - 30,000lbs # C60700 is going to install directly over the rear axle of your 2022 Ford F-250 Super Duty. This best allows the hitch weight of the trailer to be evenly distributed across the rear suspension giving you the best support.

view full answer... - Can The Buyers 337RT255812 Combo Bar Be Used As A Hitch Extension For A 2-1/2" Hitch?
- As the Buyers Products Plain Receiver Tube 2-1/2" I.D. x 12" Long # 337RT255812 is a fabrication part, the tongue weight capacity will depend on the other parts used and what it will be installed on. Due to this, it does not carry a specific tongue weight load capacity. However, this is rated to tow up to 20,000 pounds, when properly assembled with other heavy duty components, so it should meet or exceed most Class IV and possibly Class V hitches as well.
With all that being said, the...

- The Reese Weight Distribution Shank - 16,000 lbs # RP54998 is typically used for a weight distribution system. It can, however, be used as a ball mount.
