Next attach the rear bar to the side plate flange threading a ½” by 1 ½” bolt into the
bar and tighten both the front and rear flanges at this time to 80 ft pounds.
Install the ½-inch x 8 ¼-inch U-bolt from inside the frame through the holes in the
sideplate above and below the frame, use a lock washer and nut on each end of the U-
bolt. Repeat this procedure on the passenger side of the truck with the other sideplate.
Install the ¾-inch by 2 ½-inch bolt through the lower rear hole in the sideplate. The
hole in the frame is a slotted hole, and B&W provides an insert for the slotted frame
hole to convert it to a ¾” round hole. This insert is installed to the inside of the truck
frame, and it can be positioned in three different positions; the center position is on
one side of the insert, and the offset position is on the
other side, and can be offset either forward or rear ward.
Look at the position of the sideplate hole relative to the
frame slot to select the appropriate position for the frame
insert. Install the insert over the ¾-inch bolt and into the
frame, and install the flat washer, lock washer, and nut.
When completed, make certain the hitch is square with
the frame. Tighten remaining hardware in this order:
Tighten the ¾” side plate bolts to 120 ft pounds. Tighten
the frame clamping U-bolts slowly, alternating between
the top and bottom legs of the U-bolt until equally tight-
ened to 60 ft pounds. 5. Tighten the two carriage bolts to 60 ft pounds.
STEP SEVEN - INSTALL LATCH PIN RELEASE HANDLE
WARNING: LATCH PIN WILL NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY IF HANDLE IS NOT INSTALLED
CORRECTLY.
Install the handle from underneath the truck by inserting it through the slot in the end of the center section
toward the driver’s side rear tire as shown. Attach the handle to the latch pin as shown with the handle on the
“cab side” of the square tab welded to the pin. The head of the bolt must be on the handle side, and the lock nut
must be on the tab side. The tab is welded to the pin in an offset position so that the handle will be lined up over
the center of the pin. If the handle is fastened to the other side of the tab, the handle will not function properly.
When installed correctly
the latch pin may be
disengaged from the
ball by pulling on the
handle from the driver’s
side wheel well and
rotating the handle
clockwise.
STEP EIGHT - INSTALL SAFETY CHAIN BRACKETS
To install the safety chain brackets (8) it is necessary to drill four 1/2” holes through the
truck bed floor. Drill the holes from beneath the truck, through the two holes located
on each side of the round receiver tube in the center section. This will locate the safety
chain brackets (8) in the lowest point of the floor corrugation. Drop a U-bolt through
each pair of holes from the topside of the truck bed floor. Place a spring and lock nut on
each of the four legs. Tighten the lock nuts until flush with the bottom of the U-bolts.
STEP NINE - ENGAGE LATCH PIN
Retract the latch pin by pulling the handle all the way out until it stops and then rotating
it clockwise. Place the 2-5/16” ball (10) in the hitch receiver. Engage the latch pin by rotating the handle counter
clockwise. Be certain the latch pin passes through the holes in the 2-5/16” ball and fully engages through the
hitch receiver. Finally, remove and lightly grease the four corners on the square base of the 2-5/16” ball.
