In using the Andersen ultimate hitch adapter I put loads on the pin box that it wasn't designed to handle.
I believe I covered that issue earlier in the thread. 1000's in use and not having issues when used as designed. Chris
You did indeed, and in several ways, similar observations have been made by many for quite some time. At the same time, many are quite pleased with there Ultimate hitch, and with luck things will remain that way for them.
I'm actually quite pleased with my new setup of a 5th airborne and B&W hitch. So far I've only driven it 2500 miles, much of it freeway which really doesn't count but it tows a lot smoother than before due to the airbag/shock and the hitch is quicker and easier to use. I'm quite pleased with how smooth, quiet and solid my new hitch is. If anything, it's overbuilt. The only downside, other than a pain to install due to the weight is that while I was about 2 inches higher in the nose than the tail before, now it's about 5 inches of difference. I have the pin box adjusted as far up as it can go, and the hitch set as low as it can go. I have about 8 inches clearance on the bed rails so if I have some room to play with there if I had a little more adjustment available. As you know, the bighorns themselves set fairly high up, and there isn't much I could do to raise the trailer itself easily.
