The Ramp Gate Seal Kit for Enclosed Trailer Ramp # SR35FR can be installed in either location. Personally, I would keep it off the ramp door since you're more likely to damage it as you walk or move things across the ramp. Inside the frame enclosure would be the way to go.

There is no reason why you could not turn the jack at a 90 degree angle to gain more clearance. Due to the configuration of the holes in the mounting flange, you might need to drill new holes in your trailer tongue to mount the jack in that…

I do have an option for you but the handles included with the Cam-Action Lockable Door Latch Kits like part #PLR658-SSP must be welded to the pole as there are no other options to attach them. If you can get away with a 55" long pipe then you…

When used correctly all of the reflectors we carry are DOT approved. I attached a link that shows all of the ones we carry. If you look on the product pictures you will see DOT printed on the reflectors.

As long as you're just jacking up one corner of your 2019 GMC Sierra 1500, I don't see any reason why you couldn't use the #PTW1605 to complete this task. The Performance Tool 4,000 lb Aluminum Floor Jack with Stands jack has a…

For a great jack to change a spare tire, I recommend the Powerbuilt Bottle Jack #ALL647501. This jack comes with a massive 24,000 pound weight capacity, so you don't have to worry about exceeding that limit. As far as lift height, it extends from…
