Hijackers and Weight distribution hitches
Hi, I have installed a set of Gabriel Hijackers on my 98 Yukon and set them up for 150 PSI. I did this when I was using a normal tongue hitch system. I have since gone to a weight distribution hitch ...

What normally was a 3-4 hour trek back to pavement turned into a +3 day ordeal of constantly stuffing logs between the rear axle tube and frame as they came off or pulverized to sawdust. Held in there with bailing wire (why my 4x4 tool box has tons of stuff).
In my 20's and still in college working three part time jobs +odd jobs...so thought I knew EVERYTHING. Dick Cepek told me: "kid, they will blow out out there while 4x4'ing"...put in a proper lift kit (which back then, were not very good)...just about everything Dick warned me...became true...miss that guy a lot
Thanks for the advice. This Yukon never sees 4WD territory. The only time I have used it was in an early November snowstorm up in Yosemite. And yes, in our 20's, we knew everything.
