    Torsion hitch?

    Has anyone or is anyone using a torsion hitch? Seems like my Ranger is tugging back a bit more than it should and considering a Gen Y or something like that.

    Is the trailer level when hitched up? Brakes could be hanging up.

    I have a "convertiball" hitch that has a slot where the pin goes, and a semi dense runnder inside with some metal and such to pin it snug to the truck. Works real well, moves with my boat about a half inch total

    I like that option too.

    No way that should be needed for towing a bass boat.

    If you own a Bass Boat over a Jon boat than it really isn't about need.

    The shock absorber inside the hitch housing is probably needing replaced.

    Don't need a torsion hitch.
