a gen y hitch would make that thing loom like a toy, you can get a 2.5 inch shank hitch rated at 32k pounds in any length adjustable you want, my personal hitch is a 12 inch drop and weighs 76 pounds , the problem withy the one you bought is all of the tongue weight and the pull force is supported only by those 2 pins there's no steel surrounding it to take the brunt force, making it weaker and also have more slop
i see what you mean by the gen y's but the pull force on those is still all on the pin and its only 1 pin. these have 2. the gen y is just a hitch within a hitch so yes the down force would be improved and not rock but if you're running that much tongue weight then you're towing wrong. id assume these 2 5/8 pins would take more than 56-84k to break them and even then, being steel they will just bend, not snap like hardened metal will.
Why buy a cheap hitch to tow your setup (truck/trailer) is worth $50k-$100k?
@@ThriftyGarage cause it wasn’t cheap and is rated higher than what I tow and it’s sold steel and as a sometime welder I can see what I’m looking at.

You sure it’s for no slop and not anti raddle ?
couldnt that be one in the same? if they were CNC id say no on slop but because they are cast its pretty loose.
