Tailgate room with Hensley?
For the of you with a Hensley arrow, I was wondering if I can lower my tailgate while hooked up? Towing w 2500HD , and not sure about the clearance for dropping the tailgate.?

When we switched from an Equalizer to a Hensley, one benefit was the ability to fully drop the tailgate of our then tow vehicle a 2010 F-150. We can still drop the tailgate of our Ram 2500 with the Hensley.
Opening the tailgate while hitched is nice...

Hensley gives me lots of room with my 86 Excella and 2014 Tundra. It also gives more room for tight turns when backing up.

I am able to fully open the tailgate on my Tundra with an Equal-i-zer hitch.
I'm sure I could open the tailgate with a Hensley or ProPride, too.
Seems like I could not open the tailgate fully with the EazLift.
