STEP 13 - RE-ENGAGE LATCH PIN HANDLE
Retract the latch pin by pulling the handle all the way out until it stops and then rotate it clockwise. Place the 2-5/16” Ball in the
hitch receiver. Engage the latch pin by rotating the handle counterclockwise. Be certain the latch pin passes through the holes in
the 2-5/16” Ball and fully engages through the hitch receiver. Remove and grease the square base of the 2-5/16” Ball.
STEP 11 – INSTALL SAFETY CHAIN U-BOLTS
To install the safety chain U-bolts it is necessary to drill four ½” holes
through the truck bed floor. Drill the holes from beneath the truck,
through the two holes located on each side and closest to the round
receiver tube in the center section. This will locate the safety chain
U-bolt in the lowest point of the floor corrugation. After you drill the
four holes clean the burrs from around the holes in the top of the bed
then drop a U-bolt through each pair of holes. Place a spring and lock
nut on each of the four legs. Tighten the nuts until flush with the bot-
tom of the U-bolts.
STEP 12 – RE-ATTACH EXHAUST
On 2005 to present pickups equipped with a diesel engine, the exhaust will have to be lowered to allow clearance for the Turnover-
ball™ Hitch.
Attach the supplied extension bracket to
the existing tail pipe bracket.
Attach the new bracket to the frame. If more clearance is needed, pry between
muffler and hanger to increase the dis-
tance between the two.
Remove the nuts holding the exhaust brack-
et to the frame cross member just in front of
the axle. Next thread the standoff bolts onto
the bolts that are pressed into the bracket
until the standoffs “bottom out.” The two
standoffs must be equal distance from the
top of the bracket. Secure bracket to cross
member with standoffs and factory nuts.
Attach the supplied extension bracket to
the existing tail pipe bracket.
Attach the supplied extension bracket
to the frame, using the same hole used
by the factory bracket, as shown. If
additional clearance is needed, mount
the bracket to the frame using alternate
mounting hole in the supplied bracket as
shown.
2008 to Present
2005 to 2007 Model Trucks On 2005 through 2007 Ford Super Duty Trucks with a diesel engine, the exhaust will have to
be lowered at the rear exhaust bracket to allow clearance for the Turnoverball™ Gooseneck
Hitch. See Diagrams 12A, 12B and 12C.
On 2008 and newer Ford Super Duty Trucks with a diesel engine, the exhaust will have to be lowered at the rear
exhaust bracket and can be lowered at the front exhaust bracket if needed to ease installation, allow adequate
clearance for the exhaust and improve ground clearance at the end of the tail pipe. See Diagrams 12D, 12E, 12F.
STEP 14 - Reinstall the spare tire heat shield and spare tire.
