Curt Spectrum Trailer Brake Controller Installation - 2021 Chevrolet Colorado Video

You're right, the mounting bracket is unique (in a good way) for the Curt TriFlex NEXT Trailer Brake Controller #C24VV. The bracket is smaller and all you do is put the included adhesive tape on the bracket and stick it wherever you like…

The TruRyde Spindle Nut #165686 has an outer measurement of 1.45 inches. You will use a 1-1/2 inch socket on this castle nut or we usually use a channel lock for these installations. I've attached a video of an installation of a hub to…

Hey John, so the correct amount of spring bar tension will be based on the trailer's tongue weight and how it affects the suspension of your Nissan Frontier. Every WD system is a little different but what it comes down to typically is…
