If you already have a WD system, put it on. Why take chances. All you need to do is slip the 2 catches over the A-frame and tighten them down. Attach the bars and you're on your way, If you're using your WD hitch to begin with.
Now, if you're using a different system, it might be more difficult.
If your's are the bolt-on type or a different system, then pay the dealer a few bucks to install them. They'll do that. I think the benefit of having them outweighs any reason not to have them, even when towing a lighter tongue weight trailer.
Now, if you have to buy new ones and you don't like what the dealer is selling, then hitch up and drive to the nearest dealer that sell what you want and have it installed.
