Ok find a nice flat safe place parking lot etc

Disconnect the trailer chock wheels use A frame jack to level camper measure from frame to ground front and back of camper adjust A frame jack until both ends match

Now measure from ground to top of ball pocket on A frame add 3 inches to that figure set the ball height on the rear of the truck to the final figure

Next measure from the ground to the wheel opening lip on both front and rear record the numbers

Now hitch the truck to the camper and lower A frame jack secure ball latch

Using A frame jack raise rear of truck along with nose of camper until the rear wheel opening lip is 3 inches higher than the recorded number attach torsion bars. Lower the A frame jack and measure front and rear wheel opening lips to the ground both should be within 1 inch of recorded number adjust torsion bars if not within 1 inch of unload

More height with A frame jack gives more tension raising rear of truck / front of camper

Less has the opposite effect
