Simple Installation with Standard Tools
If you can measure, cut, drill, and torque, you can install this kit. Engineered for hassle-free installation using tools you already have in your garage or shop.

GUIDE1. Measure and Mark Cut Line

Measure from the center of coupler ball pocket the desired swing length back and mark. Be certain the mark is at least 5” from any obstruction (i.e. winch stand, jack bracket, etc.). Using a square, scribe a line around trailer tongue to indicate cut location.

2. Cut Trailer Tongue

Remove all wiring and brake lines from the trailer tongue so they are not cut or damaged during installation. Cut trailer tongue along scribe line, being certain to follow all safety and operating guidelines of products used. Remove sharp edges or burrs.

3. Install Safety Chains

Measure 4” from cut end of tongue and mark. Measure 1” up from bottom and mark. At line intersections, use centerpunch to mark drill locations for safety chain bolts. Drill to 1/2”. Secure safety chains using two 1/2” bolts and locknuts. Torque to 45 ft-lbs.

4. Mark Drilling Points

Place “male casting” on trailer tongue until tube meets the stops inside the casting making sure it is straight then secure with clamp. Use transfer punch to mark hole locations on trailer tongue, top and bottom. With centerpunch, expand locator marks for drilling.

5. Drill Holes

Remove casting and drill 1/8” holes at centermarks. Be sure to drill square to the trailer tongue, one side at a time. Increase the 1/8” diameter holes to 1/4” holes then 3/8” then final 1/2\" diameter. Carefully remove metal shavings and burrs.

6. Install Hinge Castings

Replace male casting over trailer tongue then loosely attach the special shoulder bolts and flange nuts. Tighten all eight fasteners with 3/4” box end wrench and T55 Torx bit. Torque each shoulder bolt to 75 ft-lbs. Repeat process for swing tongue.

7. Connect Tongue to Trailer

Attach swing tongue to trailer tongue by mating castings together. Apply light grease to 5/8” pivot bolt. Secure through the castings with 5/8” locknut and torque to 50 ft-lbs. Pivot Swing tongue to ensure system works correctly.

8. Insert Locking Pin

Route trailer wiring through the trailer section and into the swing tongue. Reattach any ground wires removed during installation. Close swing tongue and lock into place with hinge pin. Ensure that the hairpin cotter is in place through the hinge pin.
