    Set up your Impact™ or Impact Max™ receiver hitch

    Start with the right hitch

    Note: Towing capacity is limited by lowest rated component. Never exceed the lowest applicable gross trailer weight (GTW) or tongue weight (TW) limit of the vehicle, receiver, hitch base, attachment, ball or trailer. A higher-rated attachment does not increase the hitch base rating. Follow the labels on your actual equipment.

    Install and set the height

    1. Choose the correct connection. Match the receiver size, attachment and trailer coupler. Measure the drop or rise needed with the vehicle and trailer on level ground.
    2. Install the hitch base. Insert the shank into the vehicle receiver and secure it with a 5/8-inch hitch pin (not included). The base can be upright for more drop or flipped for more rise.
    3. Set the attachment height. Use the seven adjustment holes to position the attachment. Install the attachment pins and retaining clips, connect the trailer and check that the trailer is level.
    Impact Max hitch upright for more drop and flipped for more rise
    Impact™ and Impact Max™ can be installed upright or flipped. Available drop and rise depend on the attachment.

    Seven height positions

    Remove the retaining clips and attachment pins to change the attachment or height, then reinstall the pins and clips.

    Factory-set top jam nut

    Do not tighten the top jam-nut bolt. It is factory-set; overtightening can make the hitch ride more stiffly.

    Measure for a level trailer

    On level ground, level the trailer. Measure A from the ground to the top of the receiver opening, and B to the bottom of the trailer coupler.

    • A > B: drop needed. 23 − 19 = 4-inch drop.
    • A < B: rise needed. 20 − 22 = 2-inch rise.
    • A = B: level connection.

    Connect the trailer, then recheck and adjust for a level trailer. See the drop/rise measuring guide.

    Anti-rattle kit: included with both 2-inch models

    Included anti-rattle U-bolt and plate installed on a 2-inch Impact receiver hitch
    Impact kit shown. Use the supplied kit for your model; these instructions cover the 2-inch Impact™ and 2-inch Impact Max™.

    The anti-rattle kit is included with both current 2-inch Impact™ and 2-inch Impact Max™ models.

    1. Slide the hitch to the furthest shank adjustment hole.
    2. Place the U-bolt over the top of the shank.
    3. Align the bottom plate, install the two nuts and tighten.

    Care and maintenance

    Grease the coupler ball to reduce ball/coupler wear. Grease the hitch regularly through the grease zerk on the pivot bolt; frequency depends on use. Do not modify the hitch; modifications void the warranty and are at your own risk.

    Optional Shocker Sway kit upgrade

    Friction sway arm bar kits require an attachment with sway bar mounting tabs, such as the combo ball with sway tabs, drop ball with sway tabs or raised ball with sway tabs.

    Kits and sway-tab attachments are sold separately. The standard attachments pictured above do not have sway mounting tabs.

    Do not use with trailer surge brakes. Never lubricate the friction slide bar. Follow the separate manual for installation, adjustment, slippery-condition precautions and backing clearance.

    1. Rated 5 out of 5

      Solid fit with great welds and finish. I tow a 2400 lb, 17ft Casita travel trailer with no weight distribution and this hitch took much of the bounce and jarring out of the ride of our RAM 1500 pickup. Great purchase and great savings on the refurbished model. Looks like new.

      – Paul Whatley
