I agree with this because it can be directly inferred from what I said a few posts back.
But, a corollary to this is --
if the receiver assembly
does not require more travel than the WD Hitch system can provide...there
will be enough WD imparted.
This contradicts your previous statement about transfer of weight to the front axle.
So, perhaps the exchange between Barney and me has done some good.
So far, we've seen no evidence that
Renojack's receiver assembly requires more travel than his WD hitch system can provide.
IMO, it's a bit premature to tell him he needs to replace the receiver in order to get more load transfer.
And, of course, his WD hitch system has no "WD spring bars" or lift chains or rearward tilt.
It seems to me that, with the Andersen hitch,
IF you need to compensate for receiver rotation (a.k.a. "twist"}, you just move the frame brackets farther to the rear and/or further tighten the nuts against the bushings.
