Thank you for the photos; based on what you showed, you would want oval LED lights that are in the 6-1/2" x 2" range, though you would need exact dimensions to ensure the right fit. For example, # STL72RB is a red oval light that measures 6-7/16" x 2-5/16" x 1-3/4" deep while # STL70RB is another red oval light but with dimensions of 6-1/2" x 2-1/4" x 1-1/8" deep. The same will apply for your white oval lights, such as the 6-1/2" L x 2-1/8" W x 1" # BUL72CB.

The other lights look to be rectangular, and while the dimensions seem a bit clearer in the 5" x 3" range, you would still need to make sure they are exact. For red lights you could use the 5-5/16" x 3-7/16" x 2-5/16" # STL35RB or # STL33RB which is 5-5/16" x 3-7/16" x 1-15/16", while for white lights you have options such as # BUL35CB with dimensions of 5-5/16" x 3-7/16" x 2-5/16".

I have added links to pages that have selected oval and rectangular lights for you should the above options not be the exact dimensions you need.

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…

The difference between an load range C and load range D tire in the same size is the capacity and psi rating. The two tires will still have the same dimensions and fit on the same wheel. The D rated tire has a higher capacity. For a ST175/80D13 like…

Answer 7

The ideal height will actually have to do with how tall the coupler of the trailer is from the ground. The Draw-Tite #76020 will sit at 13 1/2 inches from the ground to the top of the hitch when installed on a 2016 Mazda CX-9. From what I could find…

The UFP H-1377 correlates to a Dexter #84 spindle, which is for a 3,500 pound axle. This will utilize an inner bearing #L68149 and an outer bearing #L44649. As this is being used on a boat trailer, I highly suggest going with the etrailer.com…

Answer 12

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…
