The Demco A-Frame Trailer Coupler # DM14793-97 will require six 1/2" grade 5 bolts with correct washers and nuts to ensure a secure installation. The length of the bolt will be determined by the size of the frame rail that you are mounting to. I have included a video linked below for a similar coupler being installed that will help you through the installation process.

These bolts and the rest of the hardware needed can be purchased at a local hardware store.

I recommend having the Demco A-Frame Trailer Coupler #DM14791-97 welded on in place of the Sleeve-Lock #CA-5196-B style coupler that you currently have. This Demco coupler uses a 2" hitch ball the same as your current coupler and is rated for up…
