INITIAL SETUP
•Line up the tow vehicle and trailer on level pavement, in straight-ahead position, uncoupled.
•Select a hitch ball with a diameter that matches the trailer coupler size. The three most common
sizes are 1-7/8", 2", and 2-5/16". Select a ball with an 1-1/4" or 1" threaded shank that is V-5
rated equal to or greater than the trailer gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR).
WARNING: Raised balls usually have reduced load ratings. Ball rating MUST be equal to
or exceed the trailer GVWR.
•Attach hitch ball to the ball mount (A) shown in Fig. 1. Standard height hitch balls with 1-1/4"
shanks are typically supplied with lock washers and nuts. If a 1" shank ball is used, use reducer
bushing (B) to reduce hole size in the ball mount to 1". If using an 1-1/4" shank ball on 600 or
800 lb kits, the supplied 1-1/4" flat washer (AC) may be used between the ball and the ball mount
to space the ball upward slightly to prevent trunnion interference during a sharp turn. Always use
a lock washer and place the washer between the nut and ball mount. Unless otherwise specified
by the ball manufacturer, torque ball nut to 450 ft*lbs for 1-1/4" nuts and 250 ft*lbs for 1" nuts.
