I'm no expert, but the tilt on that hitch really gives me the creeps. Any hitch I have seen or used does not change the angle of the receiver. The shank on the hitch stays straight with the rest of the truck. The only angle that changes is the head that is intentionally adjustable. Something looks bent to me.
Part of that is the angle, and the truck is not totally level. Also that photo was with too much tension causing the front too low. And again the shank has slop inside the receiver tube. It is pretty normal at least now compared to in the past. The tube has just as much slop as my 2500HD OEM had and the Curt XD I replaced it with. It appears to be the new norm. I remember when there was much less in the receiver tubes.
I will post some photos when we take it to a level parking lot, and I am sure it will not look as bad as this shot.
