Use a 3/8" x 2" bolt, thin nut and regular nut to attach the heim assembly to the Swing Away. Do not
tighten at this time.

The bolt that attaches the heim to the swing away
also acts as a lock for the 1.25" bolt on the tire
carrier. It should be tightened down first, tight
enough to lock off the 1.25" bolt. The nut installed
on the bolt below the heim sould be used to tighten
the heim up to the mounting bracket.
See Figure 9

The heim assembly is the primary adjuster for the function of the swing away. The rubber bump stops allow
additional fine tuning for function and to adjust out any rattles. The heim assembly ties the swing away to the
door so that when the door handle opens the tailgate, the swing away will open with only one hand.
The heim should be adjusted so the swing away is parallel to the rear bumper and pulls snug against the
rubber pad on the stop mounted to the top of the bumper (See Figure 10). Use the adjustment on the bump
stop on the bumper to fine tune as needed.
Adjust the overall distance from the tailgate by tightening or loosening the ends of the heim assembly. Use the
secondary jam nuts to tighten off the ends of the heims after final adjustment.
NOTE: be sure there is sufficient thread engagement from the threaded rod inside each end of the heims.
