Andersen Ultimate not working for me
I went from a Reese 16K slider to the Andersen ultimate. My trailer was very stable with the Reese, with the Andersen the trailer is constantly moveing around. It is bad enough that can feel it and it...

Cut and paste the dimensions of the unit.
Per Dave of Anderson customer service: "The pin box coupler block can be rotated 180 degrees to eliminate the extra 4" offset that it creates. We do not like to see the pyramid base itself rotated as most vehicles has a cross member to the frame we are trying to keep the pressure over." This was as of 1/25/16, I doubt much has changed since then.
Just an FYI, flipping the pin box coupler actually moves the connection point 8" as the center to center of the king pin to ball location is 4". But either way, front or rear, it would be 4" offset from the king pin.
And again (LOL) when you figure the geometry of the load going rearward (acceleration or hills) or forward (deceleration, braking) on the hitch how do you figure this law of physics only applies to the Anderson? You have the same physical action with a Reese, go up a hill the force on the hitch goes rearward. Hit the brakes the force goes forward. And statically they will all be the same. The weight is spread out over the base.
