It seems like this setup would require safety chains like those required for a goose neck trailer? I didn't see any mention of this in the etrailer.com information.
This has been discussed up-down, side-side so many times... Bottom line is each state is different in terms of how their regulations are stated. Andersen offers an optional chain kit for those that need it.

In my opinion this is because of a wording gap in the regs..
the trailer does not have a GN hitch head, but a FW hitch head.
the connection is not to the ball at the bed.
so....
anyhow, Anderson sells an optional chain kit.

There is no need to lube. I unscrewed the coupling pin from the block to make sure the pin was releasing, that didn't help. I looked through the coupling pin hole to try to look at the ball for damage, couldn't see any. But the space where the coupling pin goes in, it doesn't even look like it would the pin would be under the curve of the ball. It's almost like the wrong ball. But I am sure they would use the ball that came with the hitch.
Wow, that must really be an ultimate hitch if you don't need to lube a metal to metal contact supporting between 1,200# to maybe 3,000#!
It's not metal to metal. From the pictures it looks like there is a polymer cap for the ball inserted in the adapter. I suppose it works like the lube plate many use for their traditional hitches.

Good news, the bed was lifting up because of the weight coming off the truck. I was just being overly cautious. The hitch works great
Was just fixin to ask if you had raised it enough,don't ask how I know about a trailer not coming off ball.
You will really like this REAL hitch.I wouldn't go bac to a regular 5er hitch.
