BERK 03-11-2008, 07:05 PM I remember reading about a new hitch on the market that has a rubber or urethane insert that stops it from banging and rattling. I can't find any info about it in any catalogs. Does anybody recall seeing something like this? michael nelson 03-11-2008, 07:36 PM did you mean this? EDIT non vendor link z79outlaw 03-13-2008, 06:21 AM This? Cabelas sells them, and right now they even have a 5.95 flat rate shipping fee too, if you have the promotional code. Description: These ball mounts feature two heavy-duty polyurethane cushions in the rear retainer to reduce the slams and bangs associated with trailer towing during starting, stopping and rough highways. Reducing these jolts helps to protect your towing vehicle's driveline, hitch assembly and trailer contents. Fits most underframe receiver hitches with 2" square socket. Class IV rated for 10,000 lb. maximum gross towing weight and 2,000 lb. tongue weight. 1" diameter ball hole. Made in USA. Sizes: 2" drop, 4" drop, 6" drop, 8" drop.

I've got (google Schuck Hitches) schuck model 740 but the slide part is under the receiver, works good w/ 24,000# wagons. so places sell some kind of clamp to keep the hitch from rattling, but it's a truck and I've got more stuff than that rattling around. :D akdiesel 03-13-2008, 12:34 PM You could simply drill a hole for a 3/8 size bolt on top of the sleeve and then tap it for the bolt size. I did this to my class V hitch. when the receiver is in place I tighten down on the bolt and no more rattle with a load or no load. akdiesel 03-13-2008, 12:38 PM Here is a picture of the bolt. | ||
