I picked it up right away because that tape is so easy to see.
Even though I’m confident I always do a pull test.
Sorry for them that just hurts.
Peace
The tape idea is fine but the FACT is if a B&W is high hitched you will have a minimum of 1.5" of gap between the hitch head and the pin box bottom plate. Reason so much gap is the THICK 1" jaws.
