NOTE: Extended bumper guards, truck
campers, or rear mounted spare tires can
limit turning radius and may lead to a
collision between tow vehicle and trailer
in a tight turn unless a longer shank is
used. If you are not able to turn tightly
with the standard length shank, consult
with your dealer about purchasing a lon-
ger specialty shank.

Step 4 - Sway Bracket Assembly Set Up:
Measure from the center of the coupler
along the outside of the trailer frame, and
place a mark at 32” on both sides. This is the
center mark for the sway bracket assembly.
Check around the trailer frame and make
sure that there are no gas lines, brake lines, or
electrical wiring that could be affected by the in-
stallation of the link plates. If so, make sure these
are re-routed or avoided and will not be disrupt-
ed or damaged by the link plate installation.
In some cases where there is an obstruction at 32” that cannot be avoid-
ed, the link plates may be moved forward up to a minimum distance of 29”
from the center of the coupler. See Figure 6.
Identify the coupler style that most closely matches your trailer. See Fig-
ure 7. If yours resembles style B, an under frame coupler, skip to the section
marked Style B on page 15.
Style A: If your coupler
matches style A, place your
link plates so that the single
hole is above the frame, and
the L-bracket studs are toward
the top of the frame. See Figure 7a.
