The Shocker Hitch Air Equalizer is easy to install. Below you can find downloadable PDF files and videos to help guide you.
Quick Install: Bolt your existing equalizer/weight distribution head to the air equalizer and insert it into your pickup receiver. When installing, ensure there is no air in the airbag. Take out the valve core so the air is removed. Then hook up your load bars/weight distribution bars, attach them to the tow vehicle, and air up the air equalizer airbag until forward washers free up (washers closest to the truck) and/or until the main frame touches the bump cushions closest to the trailer.
