Expert Answers about Heavy Duty Receiver Hitch


  • Are Replacement Keys Available for DeadBolt Trailer Hitch Receiver Locks
  • Unfortunately replacement keys are not available. Your best option would be to completely replace the lock. Since your lock has a 2.5 inch span, you most likely have our etrailer.com Hitch Receiver Lock for 2 Inch Receivers, part # e98882. Part # e98881 was designed for 2-1/2 inch receivers that are commonly found on heavy-duty trucks. If your vehicle has a 2 inch trailer hitch receiver, you will want part # e98882. When you order these, you can get multiple keys.

  • How Can I Get More Clearance Between My Hitch and Trailer Coupler?
  • I had a couple of our couplers measured, but the Bulldog Cast Head Coupler w/ Wedge Latch - 2-5/16" Ball - Adjustable Channel - 14,000 lbs # BDA256C0317 ended up being the longest one we currently carry. We do have the Brophy Hitch Reducer and Extender - 2-1/2" to 2" Trailer Hitch - 7" Long # HR26, but the use of extenders like this will reduce your tongue weight, up to 1/3 in this case. If you need something longer, you could also go with the Brophy Hitch Extender for 2" Trailer Hitches...

  • How to Determine the Correct Replacement Shock Absorber for a 2008 Mastercraft Trailer
  • Unfortunately, just based off of your trailer we are not going to know what the correct replacement shock absorber is. What I am going to need rather is the axle capacity on your trailer and the length of the shock absorber you're replacing. For instance, if your shock absorber measured 13-1/2" extended, and your axle had a capacity between 3,500-lbs to 7,000-lbs, then the Lippert Heavy-Duty Replacement Shock # LC283280 would work great. Let me know what you have and I'd be happy to...

  • Will These Mud Flaps Fit My 2020 Jayco Redhawk 24B on the 2019 Ford E450 Chassis.
  • Yes, the 20" Wide x 18" Tall Truck Mud Flaps, # 337B2018LSP can be used as a replacement but this is the mud flap only, no hanger or hardware is included nor do we have available separately. For a complete set-up for mud flaps including the hangers etc. I suggest the Rock Tamers Heavy-Duty, Adjustable Mud Flap System for 2" Hitches, # ERT00108. The heavy-duty rubber flaps slide onto your ball mount or tow bar, and they adjust horizontally and vertically for a custom fit on your Ford...

  • Does 2018 Ram 2500 Need Weight Distribution Towing 4k Camper
  • Your truck is heavy duty enough that a weight distribution system is not as needed. Would it help to some extent? Sure, but for as big of a truck you have and for how light weight your RV you'll be just fine without a WD system. Also, they do not make aluminum or lighterweight options either. Some suspension enhancement like the SumoSpring kit part # SSR-312-54 would give you additional support to get rid of any possible sag as well as improve handling so that would be one solution that...

  • Replacing The Moveable Parts Of A Collar-Lok Coupler With High Profile Latch
  • I'm not sure what part you are referring to as the movable half. If you are talking about the sleeve and spring loaded clamp that fit around the hitch ball, you will need to replace the coupler.

  • 1-1/4 inch to 2 inch Hitch Adapter Recommendation for Curt Hitch # C11363
  • The Curt hitch part # C11363 is designed for lighter duty vehicles like your 2013 Fiat 500 which is why it has the smaller hitch size of 1-1/4 inches. Your bike rack is designed for the larger hitch size of 2 inch which we have the adapter # HT5R for. But you should note that when you use an adapter like this you cut the capacity of the hitch by 50 percent. So you'd be left with 100 lbs tongue weight capacity and limited to only carrying 2 bikes.

  • Is There a Way to Help Lift Weight Distribution System Head
  • Weight distribution system heads are HEAVY. The only solution out there that can help somewhat is the HitchGrip Carrying Tool for Weight Distribution Head Assembly # 303-HG-712 which basically grabs the ball and gives an easier handle to grab onto. It looks like in your picture I can see you have already tried this though since I see packaging for it. I know space is typically a premium when camping but maybe a small wagon could help you get the head around and then you could use the...

  • Are There Replacement Parts for the A-Frame Trailer Coupler w/ Round Jack Hole CA-5280-RB
  • I do have weld-on, a-frame trailer couplers in which replacement parts are available but the A-Frame Trailer Coupler w/ Round Jack Hole part # CA-5280-RB is not one of them. The Demco 50-Degree A-Frame Trailer Coupler part # 12660-97SP and Bulldog Heavy-Duty Cast Head Coupler part # BD44150W0317 both have replacement coupler repair kits, the Demco Composite eZ-Latch Repair Kit part # DM6008 and the Repair Kit Fulton Wedge-Latch Cast Head Coupler part # F670801.

  • Fifth Wheel Rail Kit Recommendation for 2017 GMC Sierra 1500 5-1/2 foot Bed
  • The Trailboss fifth wheel hitch you have is designed to fit industry standard fifth wheel rails so for a rail kit that is compatible with it and your 2017 GMC 1500 5-1/2 foot bed you'd want the # RP50064-58 which is a custom install kit. Custom kits are much easier to install as they minimize drilling and install time. Since you have such a short bed you will need to replace your current pin box with a Sidewinder so that you can make tight turns without interference. You will need to...
