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...

If you can get the washers on the pin it is ok to use more. It is usually possible to put around 8 washers on. I have not found that they needed to be hardened however.
One tip. There is a "jam" bolt on the very bottom of the hitch head, under the ball. This bolt keeps the hitch head from pivoting and tight up against the washers. It has a tendency to loosen up so should be checked before every towing session. I used to carry a small adjustable wrench and just give it a tug each day.
