eaz-lift hitch - do they wear out?
I have an Eaz-Lift hitch (1,200 lb. tongue weight) that was included with a used 1998 trailer that I purchased 7 years ago. I'm not sure how old the hitch is but it might have been new with the trail...

Wow. Some really great information.
I'll check out how "round" or "oval" the hitch openings are and also the round bars that go in the hitch. This should give me an idea if I will need to replace it soon.
I can get it distribute the weight pretty well, but that requires all the washers for my current setup.
How about adding more washers than the hitch came with? Is that something that is possible if needed to distribute enough weight while keeping the bars level? I would need "case hardened" washers of the right size of course. I'm just thinking ahead to possibly needing to do this with a different trailer - and if so, is it safe to do so.
Thanks,
Ed
