Thanks to all for the warm welcome and compliments !
I'll have to work on a better load balanced hitch next time.
I'll admit that with the short 'leverage rod' (~10 inches), I cop out and only put the last link of the ~9 link chain on the hook.
Maybe I need a longer leverage rod?
I've heard that as long as I have 5 links showing, it's a matter of finesse.
???
The bars don't quite sit parallel with the A frame, but it's close. I generally crank up the tongue jack (manually) to level out the truck/trailer combination before attaching the load balancing arms.
I have a Barker VIP 3500 electric jack arriving tomorrow via FedEx, so that part should be easier here out.
Any suggestions appreciated !
thanks again.
