That's rediculous.. Somebody's probably making millions off it though.

Yall are lauging, but I think that I have seen a similar product in Cabela's. It was marketed to help with tongue weight.

I'm truely scared right now ...

holy cats batman that's scary

How hard is it to:

1. Get a load distribution hitch
2. Do #1 and then get better tires to help with the load.
3. Do #1 and #2 and get airbags to level her out ....

oh no ... let's just shorten the functional spring rate of the rear axle of the vehicle to 1" ... ya, about 1" is all that thing will travel ...

and to top it all off, he named it the, I'm not making this up "Hell Ya" Hitch ...

this is why we have so many laws nowadays people ... 'cause there are folks out there that think stuff like this is a good idea then end up killing people with it!!!!

I don't see any DOT certification mentioned ... ugh ... I'm done ...

A set of Timbrens is a lot cheaper and probably much safer than that contraption. Not to mention much more reliable.
