Here is a pic of the draw bar style hitch on my open stock gas truck. Thought that maybe some people would like to see how some of these are setup.

MrsTNRGreene 06-17-2009, 01:30 PM It's got to be waaay up under there:D DmaxLover 07-03-2009, 02:38 PM Has anyone ever done a comparison with the supporting or adjustment point connected at either the rear of the frame or the rear axle? Ideally if your hitch angle matches the angle of the sled chain, there should be little load on the support/adjustment point. 6.0superduty 07-03-2009, 05:25 PM why is there a bar going to your diff cover? DmaxLover 07-03-2009, 08:58 PM The other end is attached to the drawbar, and it's threaded on both ends for up and down adjustability. 6.0superduty 07-03-2009, 09:42 PM doesnt that put a lot of load on the diff cover? DmaxLover 07-03-2009, 10:39 PM It's not a stock cover. It has a 1/2" thick flange, and the rest is 1/4" thick plate. TNRGreene 07-03-2009, 10:58 PM What class can you pull with that. Here we can use that but everywhere else I go says reese style & horizontal DmaxLover 07-03-2009, 11:08 PM BTPA and BSTP here in WI. TNRGreene 07-03-2009, 11:16 PM BTPA and BSTP here in WI. Got ya Did you ever see freighttrain when it was up that way? He had version 1 of our hitch, I have version 3 on my truck. From videos mine seems to work just a little better then V1 DmaxLover 07-03-2009, 11:19 PM Unfortunately no. The guy that bought it stayed to the brush pulls due to him liking to run N20. Post some pic up. Curious to see what you guys came up with. JIMDMAX 08-19-2009, 12:46 PM Heres mine just finshed it fordt 08-20-2009, 11:22 AM How much pressure do you think the rear cover gets put on it? bubba2400 08-20-2009, 11:36 AM Looks good Jim. Hopefully you guys will get to pull tonight. Rain just stopped now and the sun is out. JIMDMAX 08-20-2009, 03:04 PM How much pressure do you think the rear cover gets put on it? Like John said the angle of the sled chain and the drawbar angle should take most of the load. But this cover is very stout It's not a stock cover. It has a 1/2" thick flange, and the rest is 1/4" thick plate. DmaxLover 08-20-2009, 06:25 PM If the hitch angle was close to 30 degrees, the diff cover shouldn't see much load at all. If the angle is 15 degrees, I would say the diff is seeing about 50% of what the draw bar pull is. Chris611 06-11-2010, 09:46 PM What's the theory for tucking the pivot bolt way up under the bed above the rear axle? How does it transfer the load differently? Thanks Chris bubba2400 07-06-2010, 04:05 PM What's the theory for tucking the pivot bolt way up under the bed above the rear axle? How does it transfer the load differently? Thanks Chris The idea is to get the load transfered as far forward as you can so that it pulls down on the complete chassis instead of just the rear of the truck. How much it actually helps depends on how you have it setup. dieselbeef 07-06-2010, 09:32 PM hmmm...i got some ideas now | |
