Trailer hitch slop

You could always take the wdh bars off on your last leg up to your property. WDH would certainly help during the basic towing and hwy travel.

I’m looking at new 2.5in hitches now, so many just unsure of brand.
appreciate the heads up, I didn’t know about them wearing out but it makes sense if it’s flopping all over the place. Sounds like it’s more of the sleeves causing the issue.
yea, just my road. It’s 12 percent grade at its steepest (according to the off road thing in my dash) up to the top and down to the river on the other side. About 2 miles of one lane gravel with 4 hairpin turns.

11 degrees as shown is actually closer to 20% (19.4)

Just for general information the angle on the dash is in degrees not percent.

Interested to see if the WDH helped. On the other hand, how often are you going to encounter that sort of wind? IMHO, WDH just add a whole hassle factor that in a lot of cases simply isn't warranted. Some people have successfully used shims on their receiver tubes but often times they end up falling out.
