By Auto-Chains, Roadmaster is referring to air-actuated tire chains that deploy from the bottom of the vehicle just inboard and in front of the rear wheels. The chain assembly consists of a central hub with multiple lengths of chain radiating out from the central hub. The chains deploy so they lay on the ground right in front of the tire, and will spin as they pass under the tire. It's pretty ingenious, actually. You can Google 'Automatic Tire Chains' and you'll see what I'm speaking of.... view full answer...
Yes. For a 2020 Land Rover Defender with 255/60r20 tires the # TC2828 will fit those tires and are a good choice. You can get the chains with the cams included with the Titan Chain Snow Tire Chains w/ Cams - Ladder Pattern - V-Bar Link - 1 Pair # TC2828CAM instead of adding the Titan Chain Multi-Arm Rubber Tire Chain Adjuster for Heavy Trucks - 1 Pair # TCMA3.
I've linked a review video of these chains for you to have a look at. view full answer...
Tire chain use on any vehicle is subject to the auto maker's approval.
Some vehicles may be able to use chains of only the low-profile S-Class type; others may be able to use them only with specific (typically smaller) tire sizes; others may be able to use chains only if they do not have certain trim options; and others may be able to use chains only on one axle. The manual for your truck will tell you.
I reviewed an online edition of the owner's manual for the 2005 Ford F-150 and no... view full answer...
Rubber Snow Chain Tensioners such as the Glacier # PW99 that you referenced will often simplify the installation and use of snow chains such as the Glacier Square-Link Snow Tire Chains # PWPLC1146. However, before installing any type of snow chain you should consult your vehicle owners manual (or your local dealership) to confirm whether there are any restrictions regarding use of tire chains on your vehicle. Many passenger vehicles are limited to using low-profile Class S chains, such... view full answer...
If you plan on switching your tires to the 37 x 12.5 x 17 on your 2020 RAM 3500 I would go with The Titan Chain Alloy Snow Chains w/ Cams for Wide Base Tires # TC3235SCAM these would be a little loose on your 35 x 12.5 tires but would still get the job done in an emergency. They will fit perfectly on the 37 x 12.5 x 17 though.
The chains are heavy-duty and will give you extra traction in snow and ice. The small link size contributes to a smooth ride. The chains have a manganese nickel... view full answer...
The Titan Chain # TC2533 will work well on your 2017 Ram 1500 with 275/60R20 tires, and the cam tightener # TCMA1 will definitely make getting connected much easier. These chains are low profile diamond pattern chains so they're not going to be as jarring during travel as ladder pattern chains, so they'll be great on the highway over long distances.
It also sounds like you're looking for a weight distribution system; you'll want to choose that based off of the loaded tongue weight of your... view full answer...
Thanks for the picture! That's a nice set up you have. I'm not sure if the TM-A1A-4 system you referenced is equipped to handle duals because it is an inactive part on our website now. The product has been discontinued by the manufacturer. I have a great option for you that will work with dual tires, has the requested range capabilites, and is expandable to accommodate your 14 tire system. It is the TireMinder A1AS TPMS for RVs and Trailers w/ Signal Booster item # TM79FR. The TPMS monitors... view full answer...
I'd be happy to help you with that. You'll need a tow bar, base plates, safety cables, a taillight wiring harness, a supplemental braking sytem and possibly a high/low adapter.
For a tow bar, I'd recommend the Blue Ox Alpha 2, part # BX7380. The tow bar self aligns and the arms will lock into place without binding up as you drive away. No need to have the vehicle perfectly lined up behind the motorhome. Safety cables are included with the tow bar.
For base plates, I'd go with # BX3759... view full answer...
If by standard boat trailer hubs you mean electric drum brakes, which are more and more commonly supplied on boat trailers as standard equipment, you will need to know the bearings used in the existing setup. A new hub/drum has to use the same bearings in order to properly fit on the spindles. Electric drum brakes are popular as replacements since they often cost less than hydraulic drums and since they are much easier to install and maintain. If you want to install hydraulic drum brakes... view full answer...
According to the owner's manual for your 2005 Ford Explorer, the two wheel drive (2WD) models can be flat-towed with four wheels down but the drive shaft must be disconnected if you exceed 35 mph or travel for more than 50 miles. In order to flat-tow this vehicle you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, flat-tow wiring, a supplemental braking system, and a possible high-low adapter. I have attached my recommendations on the following parts for you.

It does look like the D-ring/Tow Recovery hooks on the Rugged Ridge Arcus Front Bumper connect directly to the frame of your 2020 Jeep Gladiator, which is required in order to be able to flat tow with the D-rings, so you're well equipped with your new Gladiator. To use the Roadmaster Falcon All-Terrain tow bar # RM-522 you'll need to also use the Adapter for Jeep D-Ring Bumper Mounts - 1" Thick # RM-035-1, which will allow you to do adapt the tow bar to connect directly to those tow hooks.... view full answer...
You can definitely swap out your 3,500 lb axles for 5,200 lb axles but there are a number of other things that need to be changed out as well. Your leaf springs can technically stay the same but if you're overloading the axles then you're definitely overloading the leaf springs as well so you need to upgrade there, and even then your trailer frame is rated for a specific weight rating so you can be within your 10,400 lb axle and spring rating but you could be overloading your trailer.

First you will need to decide if you wish to keep everything 12 volt powered or if you also wish to run 120 volt power in your enclosed trailer.
For 12 volt you will need to install Lights # ILL72CB which can be powered by a Light Switch # 37213575. We also have the Viair Heavy Duty Onboard Air Compressor with 2.5 Gallon Tank # VA56WR which will allow you to air up your tires when needed. Depending on the amount of use when disconnected will determine the amount of Batteries # BRW34FR... view full answer...
It sounds like you are heading in the right direction. To decide where your springs seat will be you will need to mock up your trailer as if you were installing all of the equipment on it.
Once you have the suspension part mocked up you will want to measure the distance between the middle of your hangers since that is where the middle of your spring seats will be. If that measures 48 inches, like you believe it will, then you will just need to find what the hub-face dimensions are needed.
