The Reese Safety Chain Kit with Clevis Hooks - 44" Long - 20,000lbs - Qty 2 Item # RP49151 do have the protective zinc coating to prevent rust and corrosion.
You may have seen a more silvered color chain like the Buyers Products 3/8" x 42" Class 4 Trailer Safety Chain with 1 Clevis Hook - 43 Proof # 337BSC3842, but even this chain has a zinc coating. view full answer...
I reached out to my contact at Fulton who said he wasn't able to find a specific rating for the hook part of the Safety Chain with Clevis Hook # FCHA0050324, but he said that they do make sure that the hook meets or exceeds the grade of the chains links so since the chain links are a grade 70 you can be confident that the hook will be just as strong, if not stronger. view full answer...

The 35" Long Safety Chain with Clevis Slip Hook, 5,400 lbs. part # 1483-535-04 I do show as being made/manufacturer in the USA which would apply to both the chain and hook. That said, it does not look like there are any origin markings on the hook. view full answer...
The Reese Replacement Ball # RP19311 is a Reese product even though it doesn't have their name stamped on the product. Reese does make this product in China.
For a Made In The USA product the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit # BWGNXA2062 is the one I recommend. This will also give you the safety chain mounts as well as a carry case to keep everything together. view full answer...
The cross cables on the Glacier Cable Snow Tire Chains, # PW2045C, are clamped to the side cables with steel fasteners that will not move on the side cables. This ensures that the cables will remain evenly spaced when traveling with the chains installed on tires. The cross cables are not welded to the side cables. They are clamped to the side cables, similar to the way a ferrule is clamped to a safety cable in a garage door application. I produced a short video showing how the cables are... view full answer...
The B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit # BWGNXA2061 should last the life of the truck if not longer.
The ball is going to have a 30,000 pound rating so its tough. It might get some scratches or dings over time but unless metal is being scraped away, diminishing the diameter of the ball, there is nothing to worry about. view full answer...

I spoke with my contact at Rackem about the information you requested for the Double Barrel Trailer Tailgate Assist, # RA-27C. The chain that attaches to the tailgate bracket is chrome plated steel. The internal chain and spring are not plated because they are stored in the tailgate assist housing and will not be exposed to the elements very much and the main housing is painted steel, not baked enamel.
The only lubrication that Rackem recommends is occasionally applying an oil style lubricant... view full answer...
The factory prep packages help you make use of a gooseneck hitch or 5th wheel both easy to install and also remove if you need access to your full bed. For this reason they can be a real asset if you plan on using your truck for a variety of towing now and to provide flexibility if you decide to do more later.
There are 5 holes, 4 at the corners with one in the middle for the gooseneck. The 5th wheel hitches designed for factory prep packages can drop into the 4 corners per the included... view full answer...
Most of the gooseneck hitches we have available, like the B&W # BWGNRK1104 or the Draw-Tite # 9465-37 are constructed of steel, but not stainless steel because it's strength relative to higher grades of steel. To my knowledge there is not a hitch that is made with 100% stainless steel components on the market, but most of the hitches do have some stainless steel components like the hitch ball or the safety chain loops.
When it comes to the best available gooseneck hitch on the market,... view full answer...
The Provider ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire # TTWTRTM2057515C referenced in your question, along with the vast majority of trailer tires, are made in China or elsewhere offshore.

I did a little digging and found that the Rear View Safety Wireless Side Camera # RVS-775W as a whole carries an IP68 rating. The 6 indicates that it is dust tight meaning dust cannot get in. The 8 indicates continuous immersion in water at a depth of 1 to 3 meters for a given amount of time. So what all that means is that rain or washing the RV will not cause water to get inside the unit and it will function properly. Unless the camera is submerged deep under water and/or underwater for... view full answer...
The Trailer Valet XL Trailer Dolly with Chain Drive - 2-5/16" Hitch Ball - 1,000 lbs TW # TVXL25 uses pneumatic tires. There is not a version that has solid wheels. My contact at trailer valet said they have no plans of making a version with solid wheels because it wouldn't allow the traction for movement and braking needed and the weight capacity would be greatly reduced.
The issues that some have had with the pneumatic tires is operator error. The unit has to be in motion to turn... view full answer...
The bars on weight distribution systems like the Fastway E2 # FA94-00-0800 are made of flexible steel and work with either clamps or via chains connected to the trailer frame to help distribute weight more evenly across the axles in the tow setup. The bars come in 2 different shapes- Trunnion or round bars, depending on the system. I've attached the help article from our site on weight distribution that you may also find helpful. view full answer...

These tires are produced on the same type of manufacturing equipment used here by domestic manufacturers and the tires have to meet all of the very same safety standards and D.O.T. specifications. view full answer...
The Dexstar # AM20259 13 x 4-1/2 Directional Trailer Wheel you referenced is made in the USA, but the # AM10210 ST175/80R-13 Karrier Radial Trailer Tire is manufactured in Taiwan or Mainland China. Though it's manufactured overseas, the tire meets all Department of Transportation safety standards. These days, you'd be pretty hard pressed to find a trailer tire that isn't manufactured overseas. view full answer...
