Expert Reply:

Brackets such as # C16448 do not mount to the base of your Curt R16 Round Tube Slider # C16560 so there is no correlation between the two parts.

Instead, you need brackets that fit your truck and for a 2004 Chevy Silverado the correct brackets are the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Bracket Kit for Chevy/GMC # C16418. To add base rails that your R16 will mount in you can get a kit with the brackets and rails included, the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Chevy/GMC # C16418-204, which fits so long as you have a 6-1/2 or 8 foot bed on your Silverado.

On a single axle trailer you will want to have a hanger spacing of around 22-3/4 inches when using the 23-1/8 inch long Double-Eye Spring #e59SR. This will allow that rear shackle to correctly lean away from the axle for proper suspension travel.

Answer 3

On single axle trailers typically you put the hanger spacing right at 1/4 of an inch shorter than the leaf spring length from eye to eye center. So if you were using the leaf spring part #e54SR that you referenced which measures 25-1/8 inches long…

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.…

Seal 171255UC has an inner diameter of 1.719 inches and outer diameter of 2.565 inches. A seal that has those dimensions would actually be #58846. I've added a link to a video review of this seal for you to take a look at.

The trick here is to get as close as possible. If you are talking about less than 2 inches or so, there is nothing to worry about. Having the trailer tongue a bit too high is preferable to it being too low. You may be a good candidate for an…

The length of wire desired depends on your vehicle connection and your personal preference. You want enough slack for turning, but not so much for dragging as you mentioned. A little extra slack isn't a problem and not enough could lead to stress…

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…

Installing the Union Tee #AL21838 with your #AL57575 will tie the pressure of the two air bags together. So yes, a shift in a very heavy load like a truck camper will potentially result in air being forced from one into the other. The reason I say…

Answer 11

An oil seal like Redline part #9103309 installs in the back side of the hub (the side nearest the trailer's frame) with the sides or "legs" of the seal inserted into the hub's bore. This means that the flat metal surface of the seal…

Answer 12

Sometimes just use of new spring bars can update a weight distribution hitch to match the tongue weight (TW) of a new trailer, but in the case of your Equal-I-zer system, part #EQ37140ET, the highest-rated bars are the 1400-lb set #EQ90-01-1499 that…
