Does Ready Brake / Ball Mount Slop need gussett chains
First let me say I have never flat towed my Jeep except around the block the other day. Maybe someone with a ready brake can advise me.
I have found that with my Ready Brake installed and a 13" ball mount (hole to hole, that is about 5" longer than standard, I have plenty of cornering clearance.
With this assembly though I have 1 1/8 in to the left and about 3/4 to the right worth of slop, so I'm wandering if this is acceptable or do I need gusset chains to keep it centered. I'm sure this sounds ghetto but, looks to me I could eliminate a lot of the slop by installing shims in the female tubes.
Btw, the extension is needed to get out from underneath my truck camper, when hauling the four wheelers on a trailer I use an 18" extension and that slop doesn't seem to affect anything.
thanks for any help on this
