I have a sprayed in bedliner, using a torque wrench set to 50 lbs before hook up and after hook up. It takes significant torque to bring mine back to 50 lbs after hooking up.
How far can u turn after hooking? 1/4,1/2. full turn?? What is your pin weight?
It's odd some are having to re-torque while other like myself don't.
Bed Flex?? :h

I have a rubber mat under mine.

I'm going to give this new installation and torque sequence a try.
reviving a sleeping thread, but just had to update ... experienced the same CLUNK with an ATV trailer behind the truck this weekend, so it is NOT an issue with the Andersen. Still investigating.

I use the Anderson hitch with my Mobile Suite and Ram truck and have for 2 1/2 years. I use a rubber bed mat. I have never had any trouble like the op refers to. The hitch is above several frame cross members and I dont see the sheet metal flexing.
How would you know if the bed is flexing with a rubber mat in the bed?

How about removable bed rails?
You could pin this to the Demco Hijacker 6099 picture frame that I bought and the load is then on the frame of a RAM truck via the pucks.

I'm liking my bed rails more and more...since I don't care or need a flat bed when the hitch is removed. I used the Curt custom brackes with a heavy plate bolted to the frame on each side with 3 large bolts. Then the plates meet under the bed rails and support the rails with the spacers so the bed doesn't crush. Very robust design.
underneath the bed rail pictures. If you look closely you can see the top spacers
Very nice! And if you get one of These and you can haul a gooseneck trailer if you ever need one.
I like the idea of a flat bed... but my friends and my dad who haul fivers use the bed rails. We have used their trucks for many different things... The rails have NEVER got in the way or prevented us from loading something.
Plus they are really handy tie off points.
Thanks!
