The Roadmaster Guardian Rock Guard # RM-4000 is designed to mount on any Roadmaster tow bar that has quick-disconnects. Since this item has not been tested with a Blue Ox tow bar I cannot guarantee compatibility. It might work but modifying it will void your warranty.

I recommend using a Blue Ox product like their KarGard Towed Vehicle Protector # BX8870. This will work with Blue Ox tow bars, excluding the Acclaim. It is also not compatible with the Blue Ox AutoStop braking systems. An installation video is linked for you.

I did some checking and the hub/drum we offer that will work for you is the part #8-430-5UC3. This uses the same bearings as the 8-415 and will be an exact fit aside from the fact this is a non-ABS setup and the 8-415 came in an ABS setup and non-ABS…

Since you have a wheelbase/axle spacing of 38 inches the correct hanger kit for slipper springs would be the part #HAP-105-205-01. And then for a 7k trailer axle the u-bolt kit you'd want would be the part #APUBR-8. I attached the diagram to use…

What you're going to need is two of the transfer switches in that case. I have attached a diagram from Furrion that shows you how you're going to need to hook the two transfer switches #F30ATS up: -one to the other, then one branching off to…

I have a solution for you, but we do not carry Glo-Brite lights, so replacing it with the same brand will not be something I can offer you. Instead, to replace your Glo-Brite 9852-88, I recommend using the Optronics LED Trailer Tail Light #STL72RB.…
