Why in the HE11 should one have to put a stall Matt under the hitch to keep it from damaging the bed???
I know two people that sell the Andersen, they BOTH have bed damage from the ANDERSEN ULTIMATE. One went to a Matt he other just deals with it.
ANDERSEN could cure this by providing shims. Instead they tell customers to buy a thick Matt for the bed.
Sad!

You know one from the diesel forum, not personally, and he did not set it up right in the first place, again lets get ALL the facts out. He was warned about the possibility, and he ignored it, and then went to some preventative measures. Fact Ron ,Facts .
You ask why, same reason B&W had to go to shims to prevent bed damage ,again the facts. I agree 100% Andersen should provide shims, but it still doesn't change the fact that bed deflection CAN be prevented. The one thing it would do for sure is quiet down these kind of threads , It could also be quieted down if just the facts were put out there instead of just a blanket statement like you did above. There is no reason not too. Then let someone decide.
Ron come on, just put all the facts out there instead of just discrediting something that you have read about or seen. I don't like the gooseneck attachment hitch that Andersen has, don't like the one point attachment at all, B&W or Andersen . IMO four point attachment is the only way to go, the rail mount Andersen is an excellent hitch. But regardless many of those Andersen gooseneck attached hitches are out there, and many are happy with them .
