Yes, 2 of the 27" Long Safety Chain with 7/16" Hook # 2118-605-04 will work for your 7,000lb car trailer. Each chain and hook will have a minimum break strength of 5,000lbs.

To attach the chains to the trailer a Safety Chain U-Loop # 362ChainLoopU can be welded to your trailer frame.

You should not weld the chain directly to the trailer. There is no federal law about weight or size rating on safety chains. You will need to check with your local DMV office for the requirements in your state. If you are needing a mounting point for…

I definitely understand how safety chain capacities and determining exactly what chain rating you need for your trailer can be a bit confusing. To keep it as simple as possible, safety chain requirements state that the breaking strength of EACH…

Hey there Zack, appreciate that info, and we do not offer an axle of that length, and they can be pretty tricky to find. Sometimes people will have to get their axles custom-fabricated at a local fabricator, but I do have an option to consider, which…

For saltwater boat trailer use it is recommended to go with either a galvanized steel rim or a aluminum wheel. For a galvanized option I recommend the Americana Steel Spoke Trailer Wheel part #AM20354. Both these rims have excellent corrosion…

Can you get me the diameter of the axle or the capacity if you can find it? Most likely it's a 2k axle and the kit part #BK1-100 would be the correct kit to use but I'd need to verify that for sure. The correct diameter axle for a 2k axle…

I would recommend bleeding your brakes after installing a new Solenoid Valve, #T4748800. The main brake line must be disconnected from the actuator to install this item and anytime the brake lines are disconnected, there is a chance for air or some…

The Curt #C51180 Echo would indeed be compatible with your 2020 Outback, and of the available controllers it would be the easiest to install. The Echo plugs into a 7-way trailer connector and would use your smartphone (iOS 8.0+ or Android 4.4+) as…
