If you don't want to spend money on a new hitch and would rather spend it on diesel, I'm totally with you. I use one of those trashy round bar hitches with the friction bar that is so antique. I pull my 36' 10000 lb trailer about 10000 miles a year and it has served me well. I'm sure the other hitches are better but this works for me. Point is, what you have will work fine and two friction bars are needed for that length. I have yet to remove the bars for backing up and have yet to damage one. Maybe I'm just lucky. Any WD will give a better towing experience than nothing at all.
Yep, I'm a huge fan of those trashy standard WD hitches (adjusted correctly) and dual friction bars. Thousands of miles towed by me....never a problem with my standard Hitch and bars. I didn't remove the bars backing up either unless I was really jack knifing the truck and trailer.
Thanks!
