The inner leg that actual raises and lowers the Trailer Valet 5X Swivel Jack and Trailer Mover - Item # STC-V211 has 15 inches of travel. The bracket height when fully extended is 24 inches measured from the center of where the jack pivots to the bottoms of the tires. When fully retracted it is 9 inches. So wherever the center of the pipe the jack pivots on ends up being relative to the frame it will raise it up 15 inches at most.

You can try using a trailer dolly like the Rack'Em #RA20 rated for 500 lbs Tongue Weight (TW) but 3,400 lbs is quite a lot to move by hand. I recommend using a Trailer Valet to assist you in moving the trailer which makes it much easier. The 5X…

You wouldn't want to try and move a trailer up an incline with the MT70881. The dolly itself would be fine but you would most likely not be able to pull that heavy of a trailer up an incline. And then if you somehow did get it going up the…

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…

Hey Antoine, so the two kits you mentioned are actually really similar and honestly I would go with the part #ETBC7 if I were you. The #ETBC7L is basically the same thing minus a couple wires and breakers so you may as well get the kit that has…

I would use a protractor, see photo, place the protractor on the edge of the inside of one side of the trailer frame and the other inside edge of the trailer frame should be parallel with the 50 degree line on the protractor. Another way to verify…

Answer 9

The 8-14.5 tires are an older metric size no longer used today. Therefore, you would need to replace these along with the wheels in order to update them. In order to see if we have any options for you, we'd first need to determine the bolt…

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…

I definitely understand how safety chain capacities and determining exactly what chain rating you need for your trailer can be a bit confusing. To keep it as simple as possible, safety chain requirements state that the breaking strength of EACH…
