If they had a longer shank, they could use less forces to do the WD, but then
that would reduce the ground clearance when the bottom plate goes down.
Stuck with the height of the coupler vs levelness of the trailer, that is not
changeable unless the coupler is changed out
By going to a longer shank, the WD moment (lever arm) is increased
With the Andersen WD Hitch system, there is NO un-weighting and over-weighting
in whop-d-doos/etc. The coupler and ball take that as just a pivoting motion
and the spring rates remain constant, as I see it now...have to noodle that some
more later...just finished my big pot of chili, got the sausages ready for the
grill, made the corn bread, cold pizza from last nite, etc in ready for the big
game...
Torn...rooting for the home town boy (Brady) or my Niner's league...
