Best hitch (non-slider)
I have been using the Superglide for about 10 yrs and have lost touch with the non-sliders. I am going to a long bed dually and would like to install the best hitch available. Any suggestions?

Now Cummins, doggone it you've stumped me again! When you say you "hit the inner edge" to tighten the slip plate, do you mean aimed your hammer inside the donut hole of the lube plate? To flare the inside diameter up (perpindicular to the plate) to create a lip? Or do you mean you smashed it in the same pancaked plane, but the distortion from the hits reduced the inside diameter of the donut hole enough to create friction around the king pin?
Hey I never claimed to be an English Major! HA
Yes by hitting the edge of the hole in the disk it makes the hole smaller so it stays tight on the Kingpin!
It was loose and would start to slide down. I backed up to hitch and the plate slid down some and it bound and kinked it. Now it is all good.
Just want people to know they may need to "tighten the hole" with a Hensley 1/8" slip plate.
