I have a solution for you but the SaltDogg Electric Hitch-Mount Salt Spreader item # 337TGSUV1B can only be used with dry-bagged #1 free-flowing rock salt or refined sodium chloride. I verified this information with the manufacturer. The weight of the sand compared to the weight of the salt is the limiting issue. If you use sand and have a failure your warranty will be voided.

The SaltDogg Electric Hitch-Mount Salt Spreader item # 337TGSUV1B can be mounted to both 1-1/4" and 2" hitches. The in-cab control switch lets you turn the spinner on and off.

Instead I recommend using the SaltDogg Electric Tailgate Salt Spreader for 2" Hitch item # 337TGS07 which can use both salt and sand. The only disadvantage is this one has to mount inside of a truck bed not on a hitch.

I have linked review videos for both products below. Feel free to email me back if you have any further questions.

In order to determine the torque rating for the lug nuts on your trailer you will need to know check out the chart I attached that shows all of the torque specs for all the trailer lugs available based on stud size, wheel material and wheel size.

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…

You do not have to use a sliding 5th wheel hitch in a short bed truck. In many cases, truck beds shorter than 8 ft do not have enough clearance between the trailer and truck to execute sharp turns. This is why sliding hitches were invented. Due to…

Thanks for providing that information it really makes this simple. To find the right Gen-Y we need to calculate your tongue weight using the formula GVWR x 0.22 = TW. The Z2900 has a GVWR of 14,495 lbs so the TW is 3,189 lbs. Based on this…

Answer 10

Gen-Y's calculation for pin weight is a safe guess, but isn't the most accurate so the only way you'll get the correct capacity Gen-Y 5th Wheel Pin Box is to fully load the trailer and go to a commercial scale to measure the pin weight.…
