How to Acquire Three Rackem Ladder Rack Part # RA-28 Crossbars

Question

Question:

looking to purchase ladder rack for my enclosed trailer. I interested in the RA-28 that fits all. Kit comes with 2 racks, but what if I need 3 racks? Would you sell me 3? or do I have to purchase 2 separate sets/kits?

In order to receive three crossbars you would need to purchase two sets of the Rack'em Fitz-All Enclosed Trailer Ladder Rack part # RA-28. We also have the Pack'Em Ladder Rack Bracket Kit for Enclosed Trailers part # PK-28B which will allow you to create your own ladder rack with 2x4's but you would also need to purchase two sets in order to receive three crossbars. This option will however be more economical if that is of a concern to you.

I have attached an install and review video on the above options for you as well.

Hey Kevin thanks for your question. There is not much downside to going with the 5,000 lb springs instead of the 3,500 lb. A higher rated spring may make the ride a bit more "chunky" at times, since the spring would not flex as easily.…
