well I had an exciting drive today

[Yetti]

I was returning one pool ladder and going to get another from Viscount in Canton and hit a bump...not just any bump. I hit a bump that was made from a drainage culvert under Geddes road just before Michigan ave(Michigan roads suck anyways). I was going along and when I hit this bump it forced my trailer off the hitch ball. it then landed on the road and tried to change lanes, as it jerked around behind the H2 I managed to stop it without any damage to the trailer or the truck...http://www.greatlakes4x4.com/images/smilies/woot.gif http://www.greatlakes4x4.com/images/smilies/woot.gif

anyways the damn thing scared my wife pretty bad and she was worried about it all the way home. when I got here I adjusted the tension nut under the latch and took five truns out of it before it was snug to the ball again.

just a tip for everyone, make sure your balls are snug or you may unwanted problems trailing behind you http://www.greatlakes4x4.com/images/smilies/poke.gif

Hmm...mine are sagging a bit...what one is the tension nut that needs a few turns?

[HummerNewbie]

Just checked and mine aren't sagging as much today but it is a little cooler out than it has been :D

as a matter of fact I have. I have built tons for test and a few months back I did air bag sensor testing behind the wheel. we have a special offroad course just to beat the living **** out of everything. I have seen vehicles with 4-5 feet of air under the front just in the rocks and rail road ties. we have a concrete "berm" jump about 3 feet high which I belly panned hard on twice about two months ago and cleared it at about 15 mph and it barely got 3-4" of air under the front tires.
