Building Harbor freights $990 trailer

What happens here

Attach the trailer tongue, which includes the hitch receiver, to the front of the main frame. Then, install the jack stand onto the trailer tongue, which will allow for easy height adjustment and leveling when the trailer is not hitched to a vehicle. Finally, attach the safety chains to the appropriate points on the tongue for secure towing.

Goal: Attach the front hitch components for towing and support
