Any Hensley Owners with an extra stinger?

4" (most likely) or possibly a 2"? Hoping to find one that someone has in the corner of their garage or something.

Getting my dad set up with his craigslist Hensely. :-)

    How do you do a nationwide search on Craigslist? Other than going in manually city by city?
  • Do a nationwide search on Craigslist (searchtempest) that's where I found mine.
  • They are out on the website. I have spoken with Sean and he says they won't go back into production until possibly this fall due to high demand for the ProPride hitch.

    I've been waiting forever for ProPride to make more adjustable brackets. About ready to give up on them.


    I bought an adjustable stinger from Sean Woodruff at PP a few months back. Nicely made. Are you saying that he isn't accepting orders? We had a sort of group buy over at AIR (Airstream).
  • Still holding out, specifically for a 2" drop stinger. Anyone have one? Propride hasn't made any more yet...
  • Thanks, guys. The used hitch that I got came with an 8", and my dad will definitely need a 4" or 2". Haven't physically installed the hitch yet, but I am positive that will be the case.

    No lifetime warranty for me, although I can pay $500 for a lifetime warranty since I got the hitch second hand.

    ProPride is not looking good for the adjustable, as noted above. I talked to them last week and they are behind on regular production and the guy couldn't even give me a time frame they would produce the adjustable stinger. Said they were trying to fulfill existing orders at the moment.

  • I carry spare everything for the Hensley, except a spare stinger....

    What you can do after you install the hitch, level the trailer and measure from the ground to the bottom of the stinger opening on the Hensley. Add 1/2" to this measurement (the opening is 3" square, the stinger is 2"). Then measure from the ground to the bottom of the receiver on the truck. Subtract 1/2" from this measurement to allow for some squatting when hitched up. That should get you pretty close as to whether you want a 2" or a 4".
  • Hard to find, they have a exchange program if you have the life time warranty, you may want to give them a call. Did you do the math to compute the correct drop? I just noticed you have a Hensely so you more than like already know all this, good luck.
