Expert Reply:

After you have your hub and bearings on your spindle you will then put on the washer, then the nut, and then the nut retainer (yellow piece) from the Nut Kit # RG05-100. The nut retainer helps to keep the nut from backing off and, ultimately, your hub.

You can see this process being performed at the 4:25 mark in the attached installation video.

Answer 4

The P in the tire size part p175/80-13 that you referenced indicates that it is for a passenger vehicle and should not be used on a trailer. For a trailer you want to go with a size that starts with ST which stands for specialty trailer. For an ST…

Answer 5

The clip that goes around 3 of the leaves of the 5-Leaf Spring part #e34SR that you referenced can go either in front of the axle or behind it. Either way would be perfectly fine. I attached an FAQ on trailer suspension for you to check out as well.

Answer 6

If there is a tiny bit of play in suspension components that are designed to move you would be fine. 1/16 of an inch isn't very much, and as long as you torqued everything down to spec you would be good to go. Ideally we just don't want it…

I believe I found the video you are referring to and have attached it below. You will want to fast forward to the 4:45 mark to see the spindle castle nut procedure. As you mentioned you will basically just want to tighten the nut until it stops by…

Answer 10

Part #168233, appears to be a close match to your existing grease seal with 2-5/16" (2.3125) OD and 1-11/16" (1.6875) ID. It has an ID of 1.688", OD of 2.332" and a thickness of 0.38". Although I wasn't able to cross…

Answer 12

You should not need any extra fuses. Trucks like the Dodge Ram 2500 are built for towing and should have enough power on those circuits. First I would wire the lights to the trailer and worry about the 6-Way last. I would wire the lights with the…
