    Measure the distance between the front of your trailer and the back of your sleeper. And then add some of you have a sliding fifth wheel. And if you don't have a slider. It's time to buy one. Pulling open deck you need the ability to over hang the front a foot or so or it will limit you on loads.

    I don't know. I haven't bought one from him. Just call and ask. For a standard rack with 2 chain hangars and a tray, i wouldn't spend more than 250 or 300. His prices vary a lot on stuff. Some days he is very reasonable, and others he quotes new prices. On those days i usually respond worth something like, dude i can get it new from raneys for xxx, and he comes back with a much better price.

    Woodys. He is in ocala just off 326. You will be coming down 301 to 326 to get to 75 right? About 1 mile before the interstate at a redlight there is a carquest on the left corner( pretty sure itd the 1st light once you get on 326). Make a right there. Down on the right in a couple miles. Can't miss him. Sometimes his front lot is packed up so look before you turn in.

    Just googled his number. 352 671 3406
    8985 nw Gainesville rd, ocala fl 34475

    To be clear, i am not endorsing him or anything like that. Just saying i have bought parts there before and he has sold a few pieces of equipment for me on consignment, and always see a bunch of racks up front for sale.

    Folks post them on Craigslist from time to time. Look at Ebay? We got ours from someone who had upgraded theirs.

    Works fine. Takes a bit getting used to for those of us stuck in our ways. Old guys don't like change. But after a few weeks of getting used to there hasn't been a glitch for me.
