I know how to adjust the chains so that the tongue weight is distributed toward the rear axel of the tow vehicle. Are there other adjustments?

Yes. The ball mount adjusts vertically to gain the proper tongue height, and there is an angle adjustment to make sure the ball mount is parallel to the trailer tongue as well. It takes an hour or so for initial set up, but once done it's pretty simple to disconnect/reconnect the same load.

Rick If you are experienced using a bumper hitch trailer with several hundred pounds of hitch weight you know how your trailer should feels. If it is not feeling right try moving your chain one link tighter. In other words do a bit of trial and error on a safe flat road. In my case I tighten the hitch chain by one link and it improved the roadability and improved my diesel mpg. Ed

No just get chains as tight as possible.No just get chains as tight as possible.

Lift the truck up by the axel. Remove shock, shock tower and sway bar end link. Raise truck by body then lower the Axel till you can get the spacers in. You may have to compress the coil springs, I did not have to. Reinstall shock tower shock and endlink. Proceed to other side.

For the vehicle that has the hitch installed you will want to hook the chain to the two eyelets. Then hook the the other end of the chain to the vehicle frame, or something that has good contact support.

None, works great. It is not adjustable front to back, it is fixed location as by design of the car's mounting holes. But, I've already hauled things so large they were over the front and rear bumpers, no problems.

I tightened the small handle on the sway bar to be tight. Then after I drove my 28' trailer on the highway, I found it was still swaying, so I had to adjust the hex nut on the lower portion of the sway bar even tighter to bring the swaying under control. I would say you will need to haul your trailer a few times with each time adjusting the lower hex nut a 1/2 of a turn, till you get your preference. Good luck.

I had to adjust the training wheels slightly towards the back of the rear wheel to allow the wheel to connect more with the pavement. The normal placement of the training wheels do not allow the rear wheel to get enough traction for the pedals to work.

I have a heavy I have a heavy RV and only using 40% of the capacity of the air lift system I level out with ease. I'm certain you would appreciate a great improvement in ride and handling. Probably the best towing accessory I've ever bought.

Count the number of teeth on your front cog. Simple as that. But even if it's not the same you can always adjust the chain, all depends on how hard you want to peddle

My son had the same situation, all you have to do is tighten the axel. It gets loose after prolonged use. I hope we were able to help.

I am not sure I understand your question fully. This set up will tow up to 1,000#'s tongue weight so your 250# tongue camper should tow just fine. I have a 25ft 500# tongue camper I pull with a 1990 GMC V-8 350 1/2 ton pickup and it pulls mine fine, slow but sure.

You don't really have to add anything, but if you want your load to ride more stable, then add an anti-wobble device. It will reduce the wobble where the tongue enters the hitch. As well, if your load is large/tall enough that it blocks the tail lights of your vehicle, then add a lighting device, so your brake lights/turn signals can be seen. Don't forget to secure your load.

Well Mike, you ask a question, but don't go into to much detail. So I am going to guess you want to remove the chain and replace it with some kind of belt. The drive gear on the motor is made to accept the chain, but may be jerry rigged to accept a pulley of some kind. Now the question of the guide bar? Will this be part of the modification, because I really don't know what it will work in your modification? If its removed, also the structure of the plastic will be a problem. I'm interested to see what your attempting to do, as a kid I would enjoy repairing things and seeing how to make something do something other then it was made for, so good luck and the words that any modification will void the warranty. Good luck.

A heavy chain works very nicely. I was on mine yesterday adjusting tension on both ends by just hooking into a closer link, evenly on both .dided

On my Jeep Wrangler it was not intuitive and I had to in stall it twice. Install it so the rack will ride vertically, even though th e plate position looks wrong when you do it.

No it can not The receiver is capped off at the tail end. At least it is on our rack. It has to do with the tongue weight restrictions.

Well part of it is hard to say. I don't see why you couldn't re use the hitch and bars and just get new hardware to mount on the trailer. Now the problem is the Tilt adjustment on the hitch. This is a very important setting and affects the weight distribution to the tow vehicle. You may have to experiment and either find a happy compromise. If the weight of the two trailers is very different you may have to get a second hitch. Call Equal-I-zer and see if you can get the trailer hardware. They'll set you up with what you need.

We mounted the brackets onto the trailer, but didn't tighten them down so they could easily slide into position after the next step. We then hooked up the trailer to the hitch on level ground, then put the tension bars in the hitch. From there you will be able to slide the brackets where they need to go to hook up the chains to the brackets. I don't know that there is a better way to do it as it depends on the trailer tongue length and other things to determine where they would go. Remember to tighten them down once in position.
