Since we may have hit critical mass in trying to understand the Blue Ox principal, I went back to look at the prior generation.
It had a hitch head that had tilt, trunnion sockets that had a bolt on the bottom I do believe where you could increase the trunnion socket friction and it had different snap up brackets. The spring bars are different in profile.
See here from one of my older pics
The bottom of the hitch head
The top, used and adjusting screw for the tilt system
The WD bars,
It seems the concept of this vintage had some things similar than the new one, but other areas different.
I have tried to find a pic of new or old one installed on a truck. Found one but did not want to link here not knowing the person. I think they are even an RV net member.
Many who have used them state they work well. And not dis-doubting them as their rig may be stable like it should be.
The WD part hands down works. At this point it is not clear the level of how effective is the anti sway portion as compared to other brands in the high friction category.
