Thanks all for your reply's and yes I realize I got a great steal of a price. I have been cruising the internet adds for some time looking for one of these. I traveled 1000km return to go get thisso even including $180 of gas it's still a great deal. The last prices I saw for one were about $1800 CDN Looking forward to getting itall up under the truck. I think I will relocate my truck spare to under the TT along with the TT spare (I hate the Spare way out back on the bumper) Truck onlu gets usd to pull the TT and boat anyway. I`ll take my chances the odd time I do something else with the truck (not often)
Ron, thanks for the equasion for the forces. I had not thought about the forexerted by the WD bars down on the hitch ball but yes that would be true. From what I have read in the owners manual for the hitch (yes I did get everything the owner had from the time of purchase even a sales broshure) I will need to adjust the WD bars untill there is just a slight force on the lower bearings. I`ll need to take some time to set everything up but I don't mind. I will try to document everything for all to read. I am looking forward to a trip to the scale also to see any differences that will result.
I`ll keep you all posted
