I will mostly tow on a 16' trailer I bought but may occasionally tow with bar only on short trips to racetrack, festivals and drag strip around here. The "green light" clicked for me too. He also added...make sure the hitch ball itself is heavy duty with large shank, as this is the weak link under that "hard breaking" condition.
Yes Sir. All's well that ends well. I went with a 6.25" rise. It's perfectly level. The truck weighs 3020 without me in it so I got a 6k ball for the rise. Twice the truck's weight, so hoping I'm good there. Shank is a tight fit in the riser's bore so couldn't go bigger if I wanted to.

Just one R&C? Maybe, if the glass is this big


Thanks again.
