I don't disagree that air bags might be the way to go but if I am within the cargo weight limits of my truck and within the weight limit of the hitch (say 1200 lbs assuming 1/2 of the ATV weight is behind the rear axle)shouldn't I just be able to buy the 1200lb hitch and adjust it so the truck is level with the load (whether I have the ATV on board or not)?
Am I thinking of this wrong?
