Wouldn't it be nice to have a air driven wrench. You would pre-drive the pins on the high side, slide the wire up to the pin and put 3 turns on it, bend the other end of the wire around the hitch pin and bring it up to the pin, measure and turn it in. In the factory they do something like this don't they? Once you got the measuring right you only have to measure one side.
