Re: Hitch jack fully extended: Should I be nervous?
Chris Bryant wrote: If it’s there for a while, lower the hitch on to a jack stand, crank up the jack and add more wood. Reverse to hook back up. Or put the front stab jacks down- on blocks. I have a farm jack that I would use to hold the tounge up and raise the jack to put more wood underneath.471Views0likes0CommentsRe: Hitch jack fully extended: Should I be nervous?
I would add more wood so less of the jack is out. When we had our TT I had to use 4 treated 6x6 inch post pieces that I stacked like a pyramid. I also put two pieces stacked under the front stabilizer jacks to add more stability.114Views0likes0CommentsRe: Andersen Ultimate #2 or just the Ultimate
I have the steel version that pins in my rails in the bed. To me it just seems more secure being pinned in four spots instead of just one with the goose ball. I don’t have to worry about dents or deflection of the bed floor. If I had the pucks I’d buy the adapter to pin the steel hitch in.368Views0likes0CommentsRe: Anderson ultimate 5th wheel hitch
I have the rail mount Andersen and love it. It’s easy in and out of the truck. No chucking or clunking. I bought the rail mount not because I don’t have the gooseneck setup in my truck but because it looked sturdier when pinned into the truck. Probably not a big deal but I like having four points of contact with the truck, not just one with the ball mount. The small handful of failures I’ve heard of were the ball mount Andersen.409Views0likes0Comments
