It's very easy to install the Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution part # RE94FR, it just takes a bit of time to go through the initial setup but then it will be much easier each time after. The hitch ball is already torqued down so all you really need to do is figure out where the frame brackets will mount on the trailer frame and what hitch head height settings to use.

I have attached a copy of the installation instructions below as well so you can see the full write-up.
