Frequently Asked Questions

 We know trailer problems can slow you down. Below, we’ve answered the most common questions people search for—helping you understand when to get service, what to expect, and how to stay safe on the road. 

  •  How do I know when my trailer tires need replacing?
  • How long do trailer tires last?
  • Why do my trailer tires keep going flat?
  • Can I use car tires on my trailer?
  • How much does it cost to replace trailer tires?
  • What are the best trailer tires for heavy loads?
  • Where can I get trailer tires installed near me?


Trailer tires wear out faster than car tires because they carry heavier loads and often sit unused for long periods. Even if they look fine, they should be replaced every 3–5 years to avoid blowouts. If you notice cracks in the sidewalls, uneven tread wear, frequent flats, or bulging areas, it’s time for new tires.


Choosing the right trailer tire depends on your load weight, road conditions, and trailer type. Using car tires on a trailer is not recommended, as they are designed differently and may not support the weight properly.


We stock heavy-duty, all-terrain, and off-road trailer tires and offer professional installation to keep you rolling safely. 


  •  Why aren’t my trailer brakes working?
  • How often should I replace my trailer brakes?
  • Why does my trailer pull to one side when braking?
  • Do I need a breakaway system for my trailer?
  • What’s the difference between electric and hydraulic trailer brakes?
  • Where can I get trailer brakes serviced in Denver?


If your trailer brakes feel weak, grab too hard, or make noise, it’s likely due to worn brake pads, failing magnets (for electric brakes), or hydraulic issues (for surge brakes). Trailer brakes should be inspected every 6 months and replaced every 12,000–15,000 miles to maintain stopping power.


If your trailer pulls to one side, your brake system may be unevenly adjusted or have a failing component. A breakaway system is legally required on most trailers with brakes and prevents runaway accidents if your trailer detaches.


We handle brake pad replacements, system adjustments, and breakaway kit installations to keep your trailer stopping safely. 


  •  How do I know if my trailer axle is bad?
  • What are the signs of a bent trailer axle?
  • Can I upgrade my trailer axle for more weight capacity?
  • How much does it cost to replace a trailer axle?
  • Where can I get a trailer axle replaced near me?


Your trailer’s axle takes a beating, supporting heavy loads and absorbing shocks from the road. Over time, axles can bend, crack, or wear out, leading to uneven tire wear, a sagging trailer, or difficulty towing straight.


If your tires wear unevenly, your trailer leans, or you hear unusual noises while towing, it may be time for a replacement or upgrade. We install standard, heavy-duty, and reinforced axles to match your trailer’s weight and performance needs. 


  •  Can a cracked trailer frame be repaired?
  • Is welding a trailer frame safe?
  • How much does trailer frame welding cost?
  • What type of welding is best for trailer frames?
  • Where can I get trailer frame welding in Denver?


 Frame cracks and structural damage can be repaired safely—but only by an experienced welder. If your trailer has visible cracks, rusted-out sections, or weakened joints, it must be reinforced before it becomes a safety hazard.


We specialize in professional welding for goosenecks, tongue reinforcements, frame repairs, and custom modifications. Our welds are designed for strength, durability, and compliance with industry standards. 


  •  What size hitch ball do I need for my trailer?
  • Do I need a weight distribution hitch?
  • Can I upgrade from a 2” hitch to a 2 5/16” hitch?
  • What’s the best hitch for towing a heavy trailer?
  • Where can I get a hitch installed in Denver?


The right hitch depends on your trailer’s weight and towing setup. Most trailers use a 2” or 2 5/16” hitch ball, but heavier loads may require a gooseneck or 5th wheel setup. If your trailer sags, sways, or puts excessive strain on your truck’s suspension, a weight distribution hitch can improve towing stability and control.


We offer hitch ball conversions, weight-rated couplers, and professional hitch installations to match your exact towing needs. 


 

  • Why aren’t my trailer lights working?
  • What’s causing my trailer brake lights to flicker?
  • Can I upgrade my trailer lights to LEDs?
  • Where can I get trailer wiring repaired?


If your brake lights, turn signals, or running lights aren’t working, the problem is often:
✔ Blown bulbs or fuses
✔ Loose, corroded, or frayed wiring
✔ A faulty trailer plug or ground wire


We offer full electrical diagnostics, wiring repairs, and LED upgrades. LED trailer lights are brighter, longer-lasting, and more energy-efficient than standard bulbs.
