We have the instructions for you to review (see link). You will just need to take along the appropriate tools for the installation. Remember to park the truck and trailer on a fairly level surface and get the ball mount height right, 3/4 to 1 inch higher than level coupler height, and you will not have any problems.

The tools needed will be a drill to install the frame plate mounts for the dual cam sway control. The drill bit size needed will be 7/16 inch, tube style frame, or 17/32 inch, c-channel frame. Wrenches needed will be 1-1/2 inches, 1-1/4 inches, 1-1/8 inch, 1 inch, 3/4 inch, 9/16 inch and 1/2 inch. I would also recommend an adjustable wrench for the square headed bolts.

You may want to get some grease, item # 11748, to lubricate the spring bars and ball on your new system. I have attached a video of the installation for you to review.
