5. Trucks come in many different configurations. Cequent Towing Products’ hitches are designed for use in light trucks such as the Ford F-Series, the Chevy Silverado and the Dodge Ram. Cequent Towing Products recommends the use of long bed (8ft) light trucks for the best combination in truck - trailer turning clearance.

8. Hitch height determination: With trailer leveled and on level ground measure from the ground to the king pin box (“A” in Figure 7). Secondly measure from the height of the inside of the truck bed (“B” in Figure 7). Determine the amount of clearance over the side rails ( “C” and “D” in Figure 7), as mentioned in Note 7. Hitch Height = A – B + 2” The 2” value is an estimate of suspension compression due to king pin weight of the trailer.

Slide rail assembly as far rearward as possible then using frame bracket as template, and after checking rails are square with each other, drill pilot holes in frame.
