    I used the Husky Centerline on my last trailer for about 20K miles. Was very happy with it, and never had any issues, even in some pretty interesting crosswinds. They are a bit noisy on sharp turns, but normal driving, you really have to listen for the noise.

    My brackets are too wide, I measured the other day when someone in a FB group recommended them. I agree with you though, the control comes from the weight transfer from the tension and that doesn't change because it has a pad under it.

    Thanks, Joseph. Went smoother than I imagined it would. No slider pads for this one and have been advised that the noise is part of it doing it's job.

    BillinTexas Nice level set up with your truck and trailer, "picture perfect". Amazing what we see on the road sometimes. Hope your new hitch works out for you, enjoy.

    After a year, new hitch

    I made the switch from chain bars (Husky brand) to a Husky Centerline. The test ride went well but we will be headed out soon on our longest excursion yet very soon. That will be where the rubber meets the road, literally. Nine days and 544 miles total one way.
