Depends on how much tension your setup needs from your trunnion bars
It is different from setup to setup.
Just about everything affects it
- Bar ratings vs tongue weight
- How high the WD head is vs coupler in an unloaded condition
- How high the TV is in an unloaded, static condition
- What your TV manual says in regards to the front axle condition when fully setup with the WD
- etc
Glad to hear that they now have a friction pad option. Was not a fan hearing of advisors to grease/lube the friction area (notice friction area and adding anti-friction lube oxymoron). But that kind of noise doesn't bother me (don't have one of these WD setups, but have towed buddies setup)
His motorized trailer tongue jack stopped working and helped him resolve it without having to purchase a replacement. Just lubed the thing really good with moly rich grease and made up a bottle jack setup
4 ton bottle jack bolted to a stack of 12"x12" plywood as the foot and welded a 'U' saddle for the bottle jack top, that cradles his hitch shank
Had to make sure it was almost fool proof, as his mechanical abilities are limited...
