Need Pull-Rite hitch advice.
hopefully one of y'all out there actualy own one these hitches and can give me your opinion.
So I finaly installed my $200 Pullrite hitch found on craigslist and when I hitched it up to get the lower roller to have firm contact with the rail it took every bit of oomph I had and that was with the back of the truck lifted up as well, my question is this normal for the chains to be that tight with this style of hitch?
I attached a pic of the rig hitched up and you can see the bow in the bars.
All that aside I did go for a test tow and all I can say is it's kind of eariee the way it tows, what I mean is it feels better than a fifth wheel, with a fifth wheel you always get a little bit of chucking at the hitch but with this thing you get nothing, nada, zero feedback from the trailer transmitted to the truck no sway no push no pull I had to look in the mirror to make sure it was still there.
Obviously I love this hitch i just need to verify if this thing needs to be this tight.
