I agree with Huntindog above. The hitch head should have been tilted rearward more to add more tension to the WD bars when they are drawn up with the straps or chains.
Unfortunately neither you nor
Huntindog have any idea what you're talking about. :R First, the Reese trunnion bar system I'm running uses no washers for head adjustment, as
Huntindog referred to and which you agreed to. Secondly, although changing the head angle
will increase spring bar tension it will
not solve the problem of the bars not running parallel with the A frame, as they should in any well adjusted WD system. Third, I don't really care what anyone else thinks, I only replied to the OP's initial question which was -
"anybody have experience with Lippert Straptek system?" - my answer being yes, I tried it and didn't care for it, not because it wears the Lippert name but because the frame brackets force the spring bars to sit much lower than they should without significant effort to correct this problem. Simple. :p
