Out with the 20k Superhitch, in with the new 30k w/ Talons
So, had to find a new home to post pics before i could do this little write up. If you can't see the pics, can you please IM me.
I had one of the very original TorkLift Superhitch 20k hitches with a 4 foot SuperTruss. Has worked absolutely great, but I felt with my fancy new Shotwagon, I mean, trailer, I should up my hitch. Didn't need to, the 20k can handle it, just felt the need to go bigger. And since Torklift of course makes an integrated set of their new aluminum Talon tie downs to go with it, I stepped up to the plate.
Since I wasn't replacing a factory hitch, this was pretty straight forward.
"Old" 20k Superhitch--
Very heavy - not to be done without the assistance of a friend or a jack--
Here is the parts for the new Talons - very beefy, thick aluminum tubes and brackets.
used my floor jack to nicely lower the old, as well as lift the new
Very well packed - not one scratch or nick on any of the parts n peices
Very complete package of goodies - actually over done, since it included a set of bolts for factory swap as well as non-factory hitch swap. I now have extra nuts n bolts!
Also took this opportunity to wipe down and throw 2 coats of flat black on everything under there.
30K - Ya Baby!!
