HELP! With RT Trailer Hitch

[meancj7]

Anyone out there still have the installation instructions from installing there hitch. I have made the mistake of losing mine while going to get the 1 5/16" step drill set.nojokeSeemed to be pretty simple job but now I don't have the torques and need info on finding the wiring hookup. Alot of people throw this stuff away but I keep this stuff and hope someone else did too. No dealer help yet so am trying the truly experienced spyderlovers on this site. PM me if you might have these, bought the kit last week.:banghead::banghead::banghead:
