  • Can Air Lift Air Bag Kit for 2017 Nissan Titan be Used with Weight Distribution
  • The Air Lift LoadLifter part # AL57331 that you referenced is a fit for your 2017 Nissan Titan 4WD crew cab and will offer you additional support when towing the travel trailer you mentioned. It can be used with an Equal-i-zer as well but you'll need to first decide how much air pressure you are going to use and then set up the Equal-i-zer again as you'll need less spring bar tension.

  • Do I Need To Remove the Harness From Vehicle When Storing the Tekonsha P-3 Trailer Brake Controller
  • You can just unplug the wiring harness from the Tekonsha P-3 Trailer Brake Controller, item # 90195, when storing the unit. Be sure that when the wire is disconnected that the wire is not hanging in the way of any moving parts, such as the gas or brake pedal, and that it will not interfere with the operation of any of the vehicles necessary controls. The instructions state to connect the harness into the unit first and then the truck so that you will see exactly how the connector latches....

  • Do 1980 Bearing Buddies Insert or Thread Into Trailer Hub
  • The Stainless Steel Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors - Model 1980A-SS w/ Auto Check # BB1980A-SS just seats into the hub. If you're needing the style that threads into the hub then you need the kit # BB1980T-SS instead.

  • Compression Rate of the Timbren Vehicle Suspension Enhancement System # TGMRC10A on a 1972 GMC C10
  • There is no way to determine the amount of compression of the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System, item # TGMC10A, because the condition of your vehicles suspension, the actual weight of the load placed on the trailer tongue and the weight of any items in the bed of your truck would contribute to more or less compression. I can tell you that the Timbren systems work very well, I have a similar system on my truck, and that the rubber springs compress progressively less and more weight...

  • How do I Setup my Reese 49912 Weight Distribution System with Rear Air Bags on my 1996 Chevy Tahoe
  • Both great questions! To the first yes you should re set your Reese Weight Distribution System w Shank part # RE94FR after installing the air bags like the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs part # F2101. As for the second question you should hook up the camper to the vehicle and level it with the air bags. Then hook up your weight distribution system. This will help to aid in your air bags and the weight distribution system working together really well and not over doing the effect.

  • Exhaust Has to Be Lowered for Hitch Installation on a 2009 Subaru Forester
  • Temporary lowering of the exhaust is the first step for installation of Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, # 75650, and for all of the available hitches for the 2009 Subaru Forester. I have included link to the installation instructions and an installation video for this trailer hitch below. If you plan on doing some towing with this hitch, the recommended ball mount is # C45010.

  • Hitch & Wiring for 2017 Toyota Sienna Towing Boat Trailer
  • All versions of the 2017 Toyota Sienna have a towing capacity of 3500-lbs so your new vehicle is up to towing your 3000-lb boat and trailer. Do note that all auto makers recommend not towing anything for the first few hundred miles on the car to allow for proper break-in without putting extra stress on the vehicle. Draw-Tite Class III hitch # 75237 is an excellent choice since it offers a 4500-lb capacity, providing a healthy safety margin. For a wiring harness part # 118498 is a fine...

  • How To Find the Right Brake Switch Wire to Install a Brake Controller on a 1999 GMC Yukon
  • If we ever have a 1999 GMC Yukon in to install a brake controller, rest assured that we will most definitely point out which is the brake switch wire to connect to. But in the meantime, I can tell you exactly how to find it. Like it says in the supporting documents for installation kit # ETBC7, you will need to use a circuit tester such as # PTW2993 to aid in finding the correct wire. You will probe the brake switch wires, located above the brake pedal, until you find the one that has...

  • Installing a Brake Controller on a 2005 Toyota Tacoma Without Brake or 12 Volt Power Wire
  • I am surprised to hear your 2005 Toyota Tacoma came with the factory brake controller harness, but the 7-way trailer connector was not wired for brakes or 12 volt power. If you were not the original owner, it may be possible that the previous owner had the 7-way connector installed, but only had the light functions wired. There is really no telling where Toyota stopped the power wire and brake wire from the brake controller harness under the dash. Unfortunately there is not a specific...

  • Installation of Auxillary Trailer Lighting On a 16 Foot Landscape Trailer, Behind a 2006 Ford F-150
  • If you have installed a separate battery for the LED lights that you installed then you will need to use a inline fuse to protect the LED lights and battery from shorting out. I would recommend the Modulite Installation Wiring Kit, item # 118151, which has the inline fuse needed and wire for wiring the power to the lights. You will need to ground the trailer battery to the trailer frame and the lights can then be grounded to the trailer frame. I would use a 6 gauge or larger wire and...

  • How Does the Bulldog Bearing Replacement Kit Install on a 2,000 lb Bulldog Jack
  • I spoke with my contact at Bull Dog and he said the install is pretty easy for the Bulldog Replacement Bearing kit part # BD500251. First you need to remove the jack handle and remove your old bearing/washers. You need to put a washer down first on the screw, put the bearing on top of that facing down (this prevents water from accumulating in the bearing) and then put the washers on top so that your handle is at the original height.

  • Can Tow Wiring Harness And 4-Way T-One Harness Both Be Installed At The Same Time
  • You should have no problem installing both the Hopkins Custom Taillight Wiring Kit, part # HM56204, and the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness, part # 118554 at the same time. It should make no difference which one is installed first, but you will want to make sure you have plenty of room behind the taillight for both harness connectors, and make sure you test the first installation with a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 before wiring the second harness. This way you will know all of the...

  • Should the Trailer Hitch or Trailer Wiring be Installed First on a 2014 Dodge Journey
  • Installing the wiring harness # 118536 first on your 2014 Dodge Journey could make it easier. This is because you will need to route a connector from the left side of the vehicle to the right side. The hitch could potentially get in the way. Take a look at the video I have linked showing installation of the wiring on a Journey. Notice that the hitch is installed in this video and it wasn't really in the way. Ultimately I don't think it is going to matter which you install first. You could...

  • How Does The Hopkins Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit Get Installed On A 2017 Jeep Wrangler?
  • To install the Hopkins Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles # HM56200 on your 2017 Jeep Wrangler, you'll plug the female end of the harness into the existing male connector from your taillight, and then the other male end of # HM56200 will get plugged into the taillight. So since you have a 4-way that uses the same plug, then it does not matter which one goes first or second. I have included an installation video on a 2018 Jeep Wrangler for you to check out as well.
