Install habits

Use the kit that matches your puck or rail system. Seat the ball fully, install safety pins or locks the design calls for, and torque to the chart. Do not guess on under-bed bracket hardware.

After install

Check ball wear and nut torque each season. Keep the coupler greased if allowed. Recheck under-bed bolts after washboard miles. Canadian gravel roads loosen bed kits.
