Hensley Hitch Helper Installation

Need help attaching Hensley Hitch Helper. Can it be a DIY project?

Welcome to the forums.
Are you talking about the device that sits on the ground, the jack post rests on it, and you run the jack side-to-side to line up with the stinger?
If you are, I certainly hope it's a DIY project.

I got one of those with my Hensley. The rear camera on the truck makes it unnecessary.

I use my back up camera, and when I am close to the hitch I lower my TV to easy entry level and back just a hair more and then raise TV to normal ride height and if I am under hitch I raise to off road level two. This allows me to complete hooking up chains and install stabilizers bars. When I purchased this Ram I really did not know the air ride was part of the limited package,but I am so glad it was on my truck.
My wife can now finish her check list inside the trailer and stay out of any bad weather. This falls under the old saying “ if Nana isn’t happy no one is going to be happy.
