well to recap..
I bit the bullet and bought that heavy duty curt hitch unit on Amazon.. Got a good deal $190 with free shipping. Came from overstock .com from Amazon and was here in 2 days.. Amazing..
The bouncing went away and I can now get the nose to go down on the truck with the WD . Wow what a difference..
Before with that bumper mount GM piece of junk with bumper attachment point, I could not get the nose of truck down..
My welding buddy says round tube is actually stronger then square tube. But when I showed him the hitch he said the welds were crappy. Plus the design to use the bumper attachment points were not smart.
The only issue I have now is the chains from the trailer.. The hooks do not fit well.. Im not sure what to do or how to do it..
Also I had to cut off the wire harness bracket from the old hitch. My buddy welded a piece on so I could screw it to the bumper ..










What to do here?
