WARNING
Never exceed the vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity. The ratings of
the mount system are intended to represent the capability of the product and in no way
reflect the ratings or capacity of the towing system it is being used with. The consumer
or operator are strongly advised to learn the ratings of the various components of the
towing system and never exceed the limits of the lowest rated component being used.
Use of any pin other than that of the mount system manufacturer
could be a serious safety hazard and will void the warranty.
Check for proper clearance of the trailer coupler to the tongue of the Rebellion™XD when
latched on the ball. Some couplers may require a 1" rise ball to add clearance for maneuvering.
Do not use in rise position.
Never hook up trailer safety chains to the mount system. Ensure the safety
chains operate freely around the mount system and do not become entangled.
DANGER
Cannot be used in the rise position.

Step 2 - Determine Required Ball Height
Determine the proper ball height by leveling the trailer and measuring
from the bottom of the trailer tongue to the ground, see below.
Find the hole closest to that measurement on the adjustable shank (#1).
The trailer ball platform (#2) will be centered on that hole.
WARNING
The Rebellion™XD can only be used in the
drop position. Do not use in the rise position.

BALL HEIGHT
Step 3 - Attach the Tongue
Based on the determined ball height, slide the tongue
onto the shank and align with the proper hole locations.
Angle the tongue slightly upwards and press in toward the shank.
Insert a pin (#3) into the top tongue hole first. To pin the bottom
tongue hole, apply downward force to the tongue, and slide
the second pin into place.
Note: The highest mounting position will require the bottom
pin to be installed first with the tongue angled downward.
Then, apply force upwards to install the second pin.
Secure all pins with the included clips (#4).
WARNING
The provided pins are specifically engineered for this system.
If replacement pins are needed, they must be replaced
with original factory mount pins (CURT# 45959).
Before you Begin
The Rebellion™XD has a built-in anti-rattle feature located in the
trailer ball platform channel to keep your towing system quiet. See
the recommended assembly instructions for optimal performance.
Step 1 - Insert into the Trailer Hitch
Begin by installing the shank (#1) into the trailer hitch receiver
and secure it with a hitch pin & clip (sold separately).
