The negativity posted in your linked thread about the Blue Ox was from all the doubters when they came out with the new design 3 years ago. All written by people who never owned one. You will be hard pressed to find much negativity from people who actually own one. If I recall correctly at least one of the detractors is now a Blue Ox believer and owner.
I was not aware that Blue Ox came out with a new design. That's good to know. What is the change in the new version and has anyone done an analysis on it?
I'm going from memory when I researched them before I bought mine. I'm sure if I get it wrong I'll be corrected. :B They did away with any adjustment with the head tilt, it is fixed.
I think people look at the bars on a static display and think they are just another WD hitch and can't control sway.
When properly installed the bars have a tremendous amount of pressure on them and have a very visible bow to them. That bow in the spring bars is what forces the trailer back in a straight line if it tries to sway. An added benefit of that bow is it absorbs some of the shock between the truck and TT making a smoother ride.
