Any horror stories with a Blue Ox Sway Pro, new design....
with the none adjustable head tilt, and rotary brackets??
I'm almost ready to buy but read of one horror story but owner may of had the nose high on the trailer when setting up.
My Reese Strait-Line (High Performance Dual Cam) is 8.5 years old and I've had issues of getting it adjusted correctly. Initially the bars were hitting the cam lobe brackets on my 19BH 22' TT but I just paid attention not to turn to sharp.
When put on my my 26BH 29' trailer, they hit the cam lobe bracket or the threads of the ball, and broke the head. Dealer adjusted it poorly. I did have to use larger spring bars for the heavier tongue weight. Went from 800 lbs to 1200 lbs, no 1000 lbs option unfortunately.
Dealer replaced head and readjusted it to have the bars swing lower as not to hit the cam lobe brackets but then I have the head tilted toward the trailer at a steep angle and only have had 2 spare links on the chain. That was with my 2010 and 2012 F150s (same truck basically, just different engine).
I really don't want to deal with adjusting this thing again for the new truck. I really don't trust it all that much.
So I've heard great things about the blue ox sway pro and I'm pretty much ready to buy, but still a little hesitant.
I just want to know if anyone had some really bad issues with the "NEW" designed head and rotary bracket.
Thanks everyone.
