pulling to nite in seneca mo... 30 inch hitch and blocked rear..... hopen to pull front off ground... runnen around 550hp.. maybe 575hp with water.... should bring up the front... ill have a vid soon tomarrow....
instead of using solid stock for the verticle member, think you could use a piece of 6" channel on either side, then bolt the d-ring to the channel. Probably loose some of your adjustability (looks like that one can adjust to 1/2"), but it should keep the height a little bit better than your current one.
Looks like a gusset at the point where the vertical piece attaches is in order.
And dale aint jokin we were talkin about exactally that.... creepy....:doh:

if u need help we can build a hitch for u that won't bend
IMO you really need to find a way for the hook point to not be so far away from where the hitch goes in the receiver. Jack the ass end up 6 more inches, or at least as high as you can before it starts picking the tires up off the ground, then put the susp. blocks in. That should almost ensure that you'd be packing a front tire or two also. :rockwoot:
true.. but on the other hand it increase its strenght due haveign less leverageExcuse me if I am wrong but a hitch mounted farther back on a 2 wheel drive truck would give more front end lift with more traction to the rear tires. I see the advantage of the hitch being mounted forward in a 4x4 to prevent front lift.
dont want the hitch too far backwards or all you will do is just pull the front and not go anywereOf course the hitch still has to overcome the bending forces. Sorry I now think I follow what you are saying. You are saying to raise the hitch point by raising the rear suspension to allow less height in the adjustable hitch.
when you hooking again lynn?
Lynn made his best run of 09 last night. We started at 4pm yesterday evening with no cam, tappets, push rods, rocker arms, oil pan, radiator, intercooler, core support, or a front bumper. By 7:30pm the truck was running and we were loading it on the trailer. BIG BIG THANKS to Dale on this one!!!
