Lube plates
How many of us have had hitching issues using lube plates? The thickness of mine causes a problem. Curly

Have you tried the Hensley 1/8" thick plate?
Yes I did discuss the issue with Hensley. I purchased the thinner lube plate. I still could not get hitch to latch. I gave up and just used
a product called sip plate to keep plate slippery and reduce friction.
Slip plate seem to do the trick in lieu of a lube plate.
Honestly this was all about 4 years ago when my 5'er was new.
I recently had my fiver raised in the rear to create more clearance at the tail gate. Since then I've noticed the hitch latches a little differently. Inspired by this thread I am going to revisit this issue.
