California Residents: Prop 65 Warning
This product is exactly what I needed to solve the problem I had with a new square nose Bloomer trailer. In conjunction with a short bed Dodge Mega cab there wasn’t enough swing clearance with the corners of the “bull nose” gooseneck platform. The nine inch setback this new hitch providers appears to have solved that problem! Also the hitch is a marvel of serious engineering and very high quality components! The only complaint/comment I have is the grease zerk is a bit hard to get to with a rigid grease fitting and I haven’t figured out how to adapt the square head of the jam bolt to a torque wrench to get the required 125 ft lbs of torque.
