3-4 .
With your trailer coupler locked and secured to the ball, extend your jack and RAISE THE TRAILER an inch or two
above the bumper height measurement (D) taken in installation step 2-3. This ensures that the coupler is pulling up on the
ball (which will also raise the WD rack and the back of your vehicle). Leave the trailer in this raised position while you
continue with the following steps.
SECTION 3: ATTACHING THE TENSION PLATE AND CHAINS
3-1 .
Raise the trailer up so there is almost no weight on the ball.
Next, place the two nuts onto the ball housing adjustment bolts and
tighten to approximately 150 ft-lbs of torque using two 1-1/8″ sockets
or wrenches. This will squeeze the sides of the adjustable rack around
the Ball Housing. Then, use the coupler latch to lock the trailer coupler
onto the ball.
IMPORTANT! For this part of the installation, make sure there is ALMOST NO WEIGHT
being placed on the ball when you lock the trailer coupler in place on the ball.
3-5 . A
ttach the chain shackles to the Tension (Triangle) Plate by
threading the shackle pin through the hole on the plate (everything

3-2 .
Attach the Tension Plate to the bottom of the Ball Housing by
securing it in place using the pin and clip provided (see left). If you
want to, you can use our locking receiver pin (Part #3429) for this
purpose as well.
3-3 .
Look at a bird’s-eye-view of the Tension Plate (see below) to make
sure that the Tension Plate is close to perpendicular to the trailer frame
(fig. 3-1). If not, raise the trailer jack off the ground and use the tow
vehicle to move the Trailer forward or backward at an angle until the
plate is close to perpendicular to the trailer frame (fig. 3-3). NOTE: The
plate does NOT need to be perfectly perpendicular, a little off of
perpendicular is fine.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT USE A HAMMER TO TRY AND LINE THE PLATE UP.
