    Likewise, I have a gh-624 and I don’t know if it’s possible for this thing to fail. I bought it with too much drop but this one should be named bulletproof. weights close to 75 lbs! I will NEVER worry about my hitch failing!

    I did the same thing for my equalizer. It cost me about 3 bucks in steel and I made it. Only I need to move the stinger out 2" to prevent from losing tail lights on a tight knife turn

    Has any one thought about putting stabilizing bars on there drop hitches back to the frame, my drop hitch is about 12” to make my weight distribution hitch work.

    I know where your going. The weight stabilizers work with leverage. The geometry makes the hitch mount for max leverage. Running stabilizers to the chassis won't do anything.

    The only problem I see with that 14" is twisting potential of the frame. That's an awful lot of leverage being transmitted to the frame. I've been saying for years to should not significantly lift the truck and tow. Us ungineers know something sometimes.

    my truck is not lifted I need the drop to make my weight distribution hitch work it’s a older husky and from the top of the ball to the bottom hole on the part that gos on the drop is like 6”s hope that makes sense so that’s why I need such a drop. What I meant was run bars that can be tightened from the drop to the frame that would get rid of the side to side motion on the drop.

    yes, I thought about buying there setup and modifying the part that goes on the hitch, I welded the 2 1/2 hitch adaptor to the drop hitch and that took some of the slope out.
