Hi, could you do these links once more, they did not work, like to go that route. I have
3/8 tempered S hooks presently. At speed I doubt the chains would hold either.
I just did a new drop hitch, got a 10,000 lb extension with a 4" drop, 1 1/4 inch ball shaft,
and a sway control plate. Bolted the whole thing together and had a neighbor spot weld all the
nuts. With air booster springs I am not using a load equiliser hitch. Pros and Cons on it were
50/50 Took advice on here and installed ball in hitch, tried to wiggle it in all directions,
appears very tight. Then with a mirror inspected the interior of the hitch, and cleaned it.
Find out tomorrow, off to Tucson on the interstate for 100 Miles.
