hey john got the brackets installed, think i did a good job, ill post a bunch of pics below and you can see if you can spot anything. used 8 links and trailer jacked up just so i could hand snap the chains and take some pics for you guys.
first thing is you said max turn of 77 degrees or so, i can go plus of 90 degrees turning forwards with my truck without hitting trailer. i took a few pictures just to show you below. now is this going to be a problem with the wd setup? also my driveway is super sloped and curves with slopes. how does the wd work with steep incline changes, im talking downhill then uphill creating a giant "U" and dont forget to throw the sharp turn in there? will i risk breaking the hitch?
i tried to mount the dual sway and snap ups, symmetrically to ball center, dont know if this is proper but made sense to me for either side of the frame to be "torqued" on in the same spots.
i tried to get the chains installed as vertical as possible pretty much touching the LP tanks. oh well should work.
dual cam brackets got pretty flush to bottom of frame with 2 washers per bolt thanks for the recommendation
in this picture you can see the u-bolt it has some give and seems as if there was more pressure down on the bar it would pull out seems a little mickey mouse again to me, is this proper or should it be changed?
one more question is this the way the dual cam should seat i took the hanger chain off to get a better picture, seems as center as i can make it?
im going to be off to a flat parking lot here in a few hours, the one i found was alright but not perfect and had a bit of a side incline, im hoping i can find better, it seems its very hard to find perfectly level parking lots these days. i guess i have to adjust head tilt, and get my heights today see if its even going to work.
thanks for your help, steve
