The most common lug nut socket sizes for trailers are as follows; 13/16", 7/8", 17mm, and 19mm. I would be willing to bet you need a 13/16" socket but in order to be sure you get the correct size you should consider the Telescoping Lug Wrench w/ Reversible Sockets part # LW405 as this will surely contain what you need to remove/install the lug nuts on your trailer. Unfortunately, there is no way for me to accurately tell you what size socket your lug nuts require.

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…
