Gooseneck Hitch Installation Instructions

BEFORE INSTALLING

OVERHEAD LIFTING DEVICE

An overhead-lifting device, such as chain falls, engine hoist, or cable come-a-long, can

be used to lift the center section of the hitch in place. Lower a loop of rope or chain

through the 4” hole in the truck bed floor and attach it to the latch pin in the round hitch

receiver tube in the center section. Use the lifting device to raise the center section

until the round hitch receiver tube that protrudes from the center section fits in the 4”

hole in the truck bed floor. Maintaining upward pressure may facilitate fastening the

crossmember to the center section, especially if the truck bed floor has been distorted

downward from heavy use. If you use an overhead-lifting device, it should be discon-

nected before squaring the center section across the frame, installing the sideplates

and torquing fasteners.
