The distance between the transom hook and the hook on the trailer is exactly 2 feet. Does that mean I should get the 2 ft one or 4 ft?

You need the 4 footer. The tie-down needs to be at least few inches longer than the distance from boat to trailer to allow you to attach the hooks and pull the strap tight. It doesn't hurt anything to have a longer strap than you need. I fold the extra strap and tuck it under the velcro. You could also cut the extra length and burn the end to prevent it from unraveling. Either way, its better to have more than not enough.

As Tim below answered yesterday, you need a 2" hitch receiver. There are 2 hitch receiver sizes, 1 3/4 " and 2". If you have a 1 3/4 " receiver you can buy an adapter at harbour freight to take it up to 2" but it will elongate the distance that the basket will stick out behind the car.

Every set up will be different, no doubt about it. That said, we pulled a 4000 Lb. Trailer 3000 miles with a 3/4 ton suburban and after returning to Mich. I added a second friction hitch which did improve the handling. At the cost involved, two is better than one in my opinion. Hope this helps you!

The frame distance should be same as 1/2 ton only the frame height is different. The bumper bracket may be different depending if you have a drop bumper but if you have this style than you should have no problem installing it . Mine was a 1/2 ton and installed easy no problem and looks great now..

The distance between mounting holes is exactly 2.0 inches center to center. Hope it helps.

The hooks are about 1-3/4 inches in outside diameter and are rubber coated.The strap, when "latched" in the towing position; looks to be about 26-27" long (maximum); centerline of hook to centerline of hook.

I can't say for sure because the shaft was too short for my Traverse and I no longer have the hitch. But maybe knowing it is a shorter shaft will help you. Also, the further away from your vehicle you can get your trailer, the more clearance you will have, for the most part. I have one now that works but I wish I had gotten a longer one, fyi.

It measures 4" from center of lug hole to center of lug hole across from it. Not being measured on the trailer. Rim off and on the ground is easiest.

I needed a 2" and this guage is fractionaly smaller than the 2" needed-I would contact them and get the correct size--Emmett

If you need to use a custom hitch that is 2", then get the other one. If you 're just moving trailers and towing stuff, then get this one. I keep this one on as my default attachment.

The 4.5 should be sufficient. When you pull the trailer up on the tireaide, the other axle rises to the same height. The only reason I can see for having another inch is if the fender wraps down over the tire pretty far, making it hard to get the tire out from under it.

That depends on the height of the trailer you'll be towing. Go to this site to read about how to figure it out. http://www.etrailer.com/question-14216.html

At the opening of the "horseshoe," it is exactly 3/4". But, as you get to within about 1/8" away from the "cul de sac" or closed end of the horseshoe, the distance starts to narrow. I think that means that the hook will fit around a 3/4" pole, but you might not be able to push the hook completely flush against the pole when it narrows at the very end. Perhaps you could wrap the bungee cord around the pole and secure it to itself by grabbing the cord with the hook.

you should call the vendor to make sure you get the right one. If you are new to 5th wheels I can give you a great piece of advice. When you hookup raise you front feet on the camper about 2 inches. Then pull out slow. if you don't have it hooked well it will only fall 2 inches. if you raise them all the way and pull out it could drop on your truck. From someone who knows. Have fun.

I believe you will have to swap the ball for a 2" as I did for my travel trailer. You will also need a reducer sleeve for the 1" shank that the 2" comes with. The one on this unit is 1 1/4". I cut a piece approximately 1/2" long from a 1" pipe and made a slit down the middle.

The distance from the wall to the center of the third notch is 9". There is sort of a fourth notch, but as you can see from the picture, it is a little bit raised, as the whole thing begins to turn up at that point. The distance to the center of this fourth notch is 11", and the overall length of the hook is 12&1/2". Just FYI, the length to the first notch is 2" and to the second notch is 5&1/2". I own three of these hooks and they are great. They hold a lot of weight. I have 3-6 tools hanging from each.
