The only lifting is to set it on your tailgate...First raise the trailer high enough to get under the old pin box with your tailgate. Put some wood blocks on it if needed. Raise of lower the front jacks on the trailer to get it close to the truck. Unbolt the old one and remove it. Pull it aside. Set the new pin box on the wooden blocks and slide it into position. Raise or lower the front jacks to get the bolt holes lined up. Bolt it on...Done! I bet the dummies at CW haven't figured this out yet either. I've had mine on and off twice by myself using this method...Piece of cake...
OP back, just got off the phone with CW service, less than two hours is their estimate at $110 an hour. Will have it done this Friday...
The way I figure it I would be spending at least that in chiropractor bills if I attempted it myself. At 66 years old I just can't do the things I used to ;-)
Thanks for all the input...I'll come back and let you know how it worked out.
