Finally had a chance to get the new blue ox and shank hooked up and set. Still 3/4" nose high, but if I get the next longer shank, my Ram will turn into a trencher. Here's hoping my family weight drops the nose of that thing a bit more
26' 5500lbs wet. Really pulls strong, Happy for now. Next truck will be an HD for sure so we can move up because this little rascal puts me over my GVWR by a good chunk.
Fender measurements before hookup F: 38.5", R: 41.5"
After hookup with no tension on bars F: 39", R: 40"
After hookup with 8 loose links F: 38.75", R: 40.75"
After hookup with 9 loose links F: 38.5", R: 41"
It still seemed to wiggle around quite a bit with 8 loose links. Gaining one more tension link seemed to clean that up quite a bit, but I only got going as fast as 80KM/h on the service road and I was bucking a 55km/h wind- so my perception may be skewed.
