If you're going to do it, do it right!!!

If they only had a 2" bar about 2' long hanging out the rear hitch, with springs going up to the fifth wheel's hitch, - garage door springs able to pull with about 400 pounds, then it would bring up the rear bumper of this Blazer, and put more of that weight on the trailer's axles. Much like a weight distribution hitch!Funny that someone else saved this picture!

The 'ole tow dolly is making its rounds again...Neat concept, bad application. They've dealt with the effect of pin/hitch weight, but what about tow weight? If the TV has a hitch rated at, say, 10K lbs, then you're still exceeding the rating of your equipment.
