The only difference is the color. The part # LA-401 is silver in color and part # LA-401BA is black.

I would also recommend LaSalle Bristol XTRM Butyl Tape - 60 L x 3/4 W - Qty 1 Item # 344270341410-1. Butyl tape goes between the wall and the mounting bracket on the leg and covers the srew holes. The screw will grab onto the butyl tape and pull it into the hole to help seal it from water getting into the wall.

The Dexter Trailer Axle item #8327826-EB is a 6,000 lbs capacity axle. The Dexter Trailer Axle item #8327816-EB is only rated up to 5,200 lbs. This won't matter because they both come with hubs and brakes but the item #8327826-EB uses a outer…
