    Andersen anti-sway/WD hitch price break

    Just an FYI for anyone about to buy an Andersen anti-sway/WD hitch.

So once I decided on the Andersen I called a couple of distributors but no one would come...

    As I was hitching up today, I noticed a change in the wear patterns where the sway control bars hit the hold down brackets. See photos. The wear used to be relatively even on the lower brackets, but now it is definitely biased toward the front (see the newly shiny areas indicated by the red...
