It ships with U-bolts and four lug nuts, accepts common 4- or 5-lug wheel patterns (including 5-to-4-1\/2 adapters), and uses a twin-nut locking design to reduce the chance of loosening on the road. Before ordering, measure your trailer frame width and spare wheel bolt pattern to ensure a proper fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this mount attach to different trailer frames?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Liamoy mount uses a U-bolt clamping system that wraps around the trailer throat and tightens against the bracket plate, so no drilling or welding is required for most applications.
