I have ordered the Reese Strait Line dual cam, trunnion bar. I got a ball with a one inch rise to offset the reduced clearance. Also shank and ball grease, but forgot the receiver pin. :facepalm:
Thanks for the comment about tires. The TV (new to us) currently has oversized, high load tires. I don't remember the exact numbers off the top of my head but we are currently at just half the load capacity of the tires. Tires need replacing anyway and we were debating between going back to OEM size 18 or 17 inch wheels vs keeping the 22s currently on there. I figure changing the rims would also buy us about 135 pounds of payload capacity. Right now our plan is to load up and head out for our maiden weekend, visit a scale somewhere along the way, and then decide about the wheels.
