This section of instructions refers to installing the 9465 or 9475 head only.
Always make sure the ball is fully locked before towing.
Keep the ball and ball sleeve well lubricated.
Periodically re-torque all the hitch fasteners.
Check ball, hitch coupler, safety chains and other connections for proper operation every time you tow.
Warning:
The tow vehicle manufacturers recommended towing capacities should
Check for adequate clearance between the gooseneck trailer and the rear of the cab and the rear of the truck box before installing hitch.
All trucks have fuel lines, brake lines and electrical wiring located along the vehicle frame where the rail kit installs. Carefully examine the
location of fuel lines, brake lines and electrical wires before installation and be certain not to damage these when positioning the hitch
components. Be careful when drilling holes, cutting sheet metal and tightening fasteners as to not limit the integrity of these systems.
Hide-A-Goose Installation Instructions
When installing the 9465/9475 Hide-A-Goose hitch, a hole must be drilled in the bed of the truck. Mark and drill
a 1/4 inch hole 43-1/8 inches (5'-6" ,6' – 6", or 8' box) from the rear of the bed and centered between the
wheel wells. Using a hole saw, enlarge the pilot hole to the final diameter. Refer to the 9465/9475 Hide-A-
Goose hitch instruction sheet for hole size. Prime and paint raw metal edges.
1.
Slide the forward and rearward cross members between the frame rail and the bed of the vehicle as shown
in Figure 2. The forward cross member has (2) additional holes centered between the long slots.
2.
From underneath the vehicle, insert carriage bolts into the top square holes of the cross members. Apply
isolator tape to the top side of cross member and bolt heads. Cut tape to length of cross member.
3.
Loosely install 9465/9475 head to position the rails (refer to 9465/9475 instruction sheet for head mounting
and installation). Sometimes it may be easier to do Step 6 & 7 first then install 9465/9475.
Center spacer - install 5/8-11 x 1.25 bolts, lock washer and nuts (item 7,8,and 10) in frame bracket as
4.
shown. When installed on truck, the head of this bolt will be next to the frame and act like a spacer
between frame and bracket. Caution, this will now make the brackets right-hand and left-hand.
5.
Install the hitch frame brackets by aligning the threaded studs on the ends of cross members to the inner
slots of the brackets. Loosely install the 5/8" flat washers, lock washers, and hex nuts to the threaded studs.
6.
Frame mounting – One side at a time, slide block (item 3) in place and use the pull wires to insert the 1/2"
carriage bolt and blocks into the mounting bracket location through the large slot on the inside of the
frame. Take special note on orientation of the round block of the front frame mount. There is a hole on the
inside of the frame that will allow you to check for proper placement of the block. Loosely install the 1/2"
conical tooth lock washer and hex nuts to the frame bracket.
7.
Align the sleeve of the Hide-A-Goose hitch with the hole drilled in the vehicle bed, and torque the hitch
fasteners to the cross members to 212 ft.-lb. (287 N-m).
8. Torque the 5/8-11 GR5 fasteners that attach the cross members to the brackets to 150 ft.-lb. (203 N-m).
9. Torque the 1/2-13 GR5 fasteners that attach the brackets to the frame rail to 75 ft.-lb. (102 N-m).
10. Refer to 9465/9475 instructions to finish installation.
