good report pieman on the install...

look forward to more road reports, as the miles are added.

and i'm glad woodedareas has worked out the drop bar issue.
it will be interesting to read how the install goes and more importantly...

how the 'towing experience' compares to your previous (unhappy) report with another hitch brand...

brow324...

good pictures! glad you figured out how to post'em.

the 'white marker' is a good idea.

8 inch drop? wow! that 4x4 is a hiboy...

2 observations...
-i don't see any grease oozing from the spring bar heads
- the hitch pins (hair, spring, cotter) on the strut bars and jacks...
i usually put 'em on the inside and push ALL the way into the 'loop' away from curious fingers, like your front pin....
some folks replace them with a more permanent pin but at least push them on farther...

glad to read your towing is pleasant...

the manual is pretty vague about hole position for the struts, mine are in the 3rd hole too...

anyone else have an opinion?

cheers all
