Is Trailer Ball Included With Curt TruTrack Trunnion Bar Weight Distribution System Torqued

Question:

1. My system came with the ball already attached does that mean the ball is torqued at the right ft. lbs.? 2. When buying a torque wrench should I buy a 1/2 inch or a 3/8 torque wrench? Because the L- bracket both nylock nut #8 needs 25ftlbs and the head fasteners 3/4inch bolts needs 200 ft. lbs.

You won't need to torque the ball, it will already be installed and properly torqued. As far as which size drive to get, typically the larger the drive, the higher torque ratings the wrench can handle. From what I've seen, a 3/8 inch drive torque wrench won't have the necessary capacity to get you to 200 ft lbs.
