02sled Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Helped a guy who had one of that style for his RV on his truck. The reason I had to help is we were having a heck of a time getting it to release the tension and drop the bars. The bars with chains work so why mess with something that works well. Someone is always working to build a better mouse trap and catch buyers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDK what you are pulling, but if its a large travel trailer, get a hitch with sway control for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skidude600 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I've used an Equalizer brand wt distribution hitch in the past and it worked quite well. Same basic premise with the bars. As stated already use your jack to take the weight off, then remove the bars. Easy peasy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had the electric tongue jack and the bars still didn't want to release. Mine looks like It comes with a round pipe that goes over the pin circled in red. Drop the chain link over the hook below, put the bar on the pin and lift tightening as much as you need. Drop the lock pin in and you're done. To take it off is just as easy.

Rw06GT Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 What are you towing? I'd go with airbags before a wd setup unless you are towing heavy. Before I purchased, I read lots on ramforumz.com and bags seem to be the go to setup for that truck. Cheap and easy to install. I went with the air suspension so no worries about staying level. I also don't tow more than 5-6k lbs. Have you taken any tie down lessons recently? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
02sled Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I only have the WD hitch for the RV which weighs in at about 9,500 lbs. I don't need it for the 5000 lb boat, the horse trailer or the sled trailer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the max amount would be about 7k GTW. I also have a two place covered snowmobile trailer but thats peanuts. Tie downs are for cheaters!!!!
