Are abandoning your Andersen?

I am indeed abandoning my Andersen, and will detail the issues I've had with it in a posting with pictures later on. I'm still waiting to hear anything from Andersen regarding my issues, but didn't have time to wait on them as I'm doing another moderately long road trip in a few days. Basically, I've had trouble with the adapter a couple times with the dealers equipment damaging it. (Replaced), the bed of my truck isn't tough enough for the Andersen, especially backing uphill, trying to back over a curb etc. It also trashed my pin box being the Lippert 1621 box bottom plate isn't strong enough for all the pin weight to be carried totally on the two set screws closest to the ball. The other two don't actually carry any weight when you think about it. I liked the light weight, but straight up I don't feel the hitch capable of handling a 15.5k 5er for any real distance, or on anything but flat smooth roads with no bumps, panic stops etc.
