5. Position inner ⑭ and outer frame brackets ⑮ 27.5" from the center of trailer coupler with bolt ⑫ through the top bolts as shown. Snug nut ⑬
to the back of the inner frame bracket ⑭. Insert lower bolt ⑫ with serrated washer ⑯ through inner frame bracket ⑭ as close to the
underside of the trailer frame as possible, and snug bolt. Torque both bolts to 130 ft-lbs. Note that brackets can be positioned up to 3" towards
truck from nominal to clear objects on frame, but this may interfere with mounting for a friction sway bar.
6. Orient L-bracket ⑪ so that the bottom portion of the bracket is ~3" above the unloaded spring bar. Secure the L-bracket ⑪ to outer frame
bracket ⑮ using 2 bolts ⑰ and lock washers ⑯. Bolts should be spaced with either 1 or 2 open holes between them (do not put both bolts
next directly next to each other). Be mindful to not use the threaded hole that bolt ⑫ has used. Torque bolts ⑰ to 80 ft-lbs.
7. Installing and removing spring bars onto L-brackets: extend trailer jack until spring bar ends are above the L-brackets. Adding a 6" x 6" block
or support under the jack will make extension and raising the trailer faster and protect the jack from being extended to max travel. The higher
you raise the trailer the easier to install or remove spring bars from L-brackets. Swing spring bars on to L-brackets as close to trailer frame as
possible. Secure the spring bars by dropping in covers ⑱. Then secure the covers ⑱ using the pins ⑲ as shown below.
LIFTING HANDLE USE
1. It is recommended that you use the trailer jack to raise and lower the trailer for application and removal of spring bars. If there is an issue,
the lifting handle ⑳ included can be used to pry spring bars on to the L-brackets or off again. Caution should be used that the spring bars do
not hit people or property. Stand clear of lift bar and spring bars. Caution: do not use lifting handle for any other use.

8. Retract the jack. Re-measure front wheel well reference point. The front wheel well height should be equal to or lower than the original
measurement. If the front wheel well height is higher than originally measured, increase the load on the spring bars by either raising the L
bracket ⑪ position or adding spacer washers ⑨. If the front wheel well is lower than originally measured, reduce the load on the spring
bars by either lowering the L bracket ⑪ position or removing spacer washers ⑨ then recheck the wheel well measurement. If the original
wheel well height is not achievable, it is preferred that the wheel well height is lower after the spring bars are loaded. Adjusting height of the
ball mount on the hitch bar may be necessary when adjusting the number of spacer washers.
LUBRICATION
1. MAINTENANCE: Use heavy lubrication such as fiber type wheel bearing grease on hitch ball and on spring bars. Recommended every day.
Keep hitch painted to prevent rust and check tightness of bolts regularly. Clean out old grease, do not let it harden inside of the Ball Mount.
SURGE BRAKES
1. Some surge brakes will not work with weight distributing hitches. CHECK TRAILER AND/OR SURGE BRAKE OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS FOR ANY SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS REGARDING WEIGHT DISTRIBUTING HITCHES.
Do not use sway control with surge brakes.
