You will want to measure from the closest portion of your axle or U-bolt which would come into contact with the frame on your horse trailer. For underslung axles it is typically curved portion of the U-bolt which is typically only 1/2" higher than the axle. If your horse trailer has an overslung axle the U-bolts will will stick above the leaf spring and its height will vary based on the axle size, length of U-bolts and the height of the leaf spring.

The Buyer's Products # BP64FR Hook and Keeper would be a great choice for keeping a horse trailer door open, and depending on the size and weight of the door and the strength of the wind, you could even use two of them if need be. The hook and keeper is very durable, and is constructed of zinc plated aluminum, which means it will be very resistant to corrosion.

I have a solution for you.
I recommend the Bauer Products Door Lock for Horse and Utility Trailers - Matte Black - Die Cast Zinc # BA93FR. It is very rigid and sturdy weighing in at 3 pounds.
If you want a lighter version go with the Bauer Products Door Lock for Horse and Utility Trailers - Matte Black - Glass Filled Nylon # BA63FR. This model is not as sturdy as the die cast zinc but it can still take a beating.
Both units have the same cut out specs and reqs.

I recommend a powered drive trailer jack like part # BD500199 that would work great for your horse trailer if the tongue weight of the trailer is less than 4,000-lbs when it is fully-loaded and ready-to-go.
This jack is designed to mount on a standard A-frame trailer. I have attached a link to a product review video you can check out and also a link to a helpful article that explains how to determine tongue weight you can take a look at. view full answer...
To select replacement electric brake assemblies for your 1997 Featherlite horse trailer you'll need to confirm a few details about your trailer set-up.
First you need to confirm the axles' capacity to ensure your new brakes will have the required stopping power. Axles on horse trailers can have many different ratings. There should be a sticker on the axles that indicates the capacity. You also need to match up the size of the brakes, both their diameter and width, and confirm the mounting... view full answer...
Yes, you would be able to install a battery on your horse trailer, and power the lights when the trailer is not connected to the truck.
What you will want to do is run the power wire, typically the Black wire, on the trailer connector and connect it to the positive battery terminal. You will want to ground the battery to the trailer frame, and then run the power wires for the lights to the positive battery terminal. Each light assembly should be grounded to a clean metal surface.

For the Thule Insta-Gater Pro truck bike rack # TH93VR an accessory lock is integrated to allow locking the loaded bike to the rack but this does not secure the rack itself as you noted. To do this I recommend a cost-effective cable lock such as # e98891 that can be routed through the rack tubing and to your truck's tie downs.
You could also use one cable lock to secure the bike to the Insta-Gater, if you prefer not to use Thule's own lock core, and another to secure the rack to the truck's... view full answer...
Since you're not using it extensively, a portable solar array will be perfectly fine and allow your batteries to stay charged for lights and music. A great option would be the Go Power Portable Solar Panel with Digital Solar Controller - 130 Watt Solar Panel # 34282730. view full answer...
We don't have much in the way of ramp parts; of the things you mentioned, the only things we have are ramp springs for a 1-1/2" round shaft. If that's what your trailer has we have the Ramp Spring - 2K Torque for 1-1/2" Round Shaft - Left # RS16933LH and Right # RS16933RH. view full answer...
The best way to find the correct replacement bearings is to get the numbers stamped on the inner and outer bearings that are on the trailer. With those you will be able to find the correct replacement bearings, races, and seals.
A second option is to measure the spindle of your trailer with a caliper like part # PTW80157 to measure the diameter where the seal, inner, and outer bearings ride. I have attached a photo that shows where you can typically find the bearing numbers and where... view full answer...

An auxiliary transmission cooler isn't a necessity to tow with your 2019 Toyota Highlander, but it's absolutely a good idea to add one (your Highlander with a 3.5L V6 already has one so this would be an additional cooler), with the best cooler being from Derale:

To ensure that you will be fine after adding the camera and the 12V fans, you will want to verify the amperage draw on the fuse protecting your vehicle's 12V power wire in the towing package. Then you will want to determine the amp draw of the 12V fans and the camera to make sure that they will not exceed the fuse's amp draw.
Typically vehicle's have a 40 amp fuse protecting their trailer wiring 12 V power wire.
I think you should be fine adding the camera and the fans, but you can... view full answer...
The reason that the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller # RED44FR is not good for the manual override is that when you drive with the controller in proportional braking mode and push the manual override it only allows the trailer brakes to be applied in a light braking scenario. This is often not enough braking force on the trailer brakes if you are relying on them solely. As you are new to trailering and brake controllers I do not see this being an issue for you as it comes more... view full answer...
Blowouts of a trailer tire are typically not caused by a defect in the tire but are due to lack of maintenance of the tire. Tires should be checked before any trip and when cold to maintain the correct air pressure. They are designed to perform better if fully-inflated. If under inflated, the tire can become overheated and fail. If over-inflated the tread will wear more in the center of the tire.

The Aluminum Modular Trailer Wheel - 16" x 7" Rim - 8 on 6-1/2 # LHJM513 has a 4.88" pilot diameter and will work for your horse trailer. Ther pilot diameter does not have to match your old wheel because this wheel fits over the lugs of your hub, and not the pilot hole, so you just need the correct size lug nuts to match your hub.
This wheel is compatible with the Lionshead Trailer Wheel Lug Nut - 9/16"-18 # LHLR110.

There is not a left or right for the Bauer Products Door Lock for Horse and Utility Trailers - Matte Black - Glass Filled Nylon # BA63FR or Die Cast Zinc # BA93FR.
These are meant as replacements so they would work so long as your cutout is the standard 2-3/4" wide x 3-3/4" tall; it also requires a 1-1/4" to 1-1/2" thick door, and since yours is 1-1/2" thick you're set there.
As for the models, I do recommend the Bauer as they consistently make quality parts, and you're right that the... view full answer...
Thank you for sending your photos. While the shafts are very close in size, I did contact the manufacturer who produces both Bulldog and Pro Series products that confirmed the Bulldog Powered-Drive Kit for Single-Speed Jacks # BD1824200100 is not compatible with Pro Series jacks. These products have never been tested together and have some dimension and gear ratio differences.

There should be a label, sticker or metal tag on the axles or the trailer that describes the weight capacity of the axle and trailer you have.
Square axle capacities are hard to determine. Unlike round axles, they do not have specific capacity based on their dimension.

I can tell you how to determine the correct hub and drum for your trailer, though we don't have any way of knowing specifically what you need for a 1995 Trailswest horse trailer. To find the correct hubs for your trailer, you need to know the weight rating of your axle, and also what bearings your current hub has. You will need to take apart your current hub assembly and look at the bearings themselves; wipe away the grease and you should be able to see the part number stamped directly... view full answer...
