On the other hand, why not pull a $35k trailer with a $400 hitch? You know, the ones that are lighter, easier to install and adjust, easier to hitch/unhitch, etc., etc....
I started out with a basic Husky hitch with friction sway bar, moved up to an Equil-i-zer and then finally a Hensley. Out of the 3 I find the Hensley the easiest to use and adjust. Yes, it is heavy and cumbersome but once it is installed you only have to deal with the stinger, which is lighter than a typical WD hitch head. Installation is no more difficult than any other hitch either.
Adjustability with the screw jacks is easier and more precise than chains or L brackets and requires no tilting of hitch heads. It is also cleaner in that everything stays attached to the tt. Only thing I touch is the stinger which needs no grease. Hitching needs a little more precision but once you're used to it it's easy, especially with a backup cam.
