Hi David; the SwingKing Bolt-On Swing Tongue Kit # TD28FR is technically designed for steel tongue trailers. It is possible to use it on aluminum, but I would contact the trailer manufacturer for guidance and to see if they approve it before installation. You will probably have to reinforce the tongue as well. If the manufacturer doesn't approve it, and you still want a swing away tongue, you could swap the tongue out for steel.
What kind of trailer do you have?
