Review on Barker 25900 Wheel Leg Leveler by Jason Taylor

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Does anyone design anything at all?

All of the weight of your fifth wheel wheel comes from the small side welds on the nut. When the chassis is released, the force on the threads is directed upwards. The nut should be on the other side of the U, with welds preventing the nut from rotating to transmit force through the body of the nut to the U-bracket and onto the pin. Current design is tensile but not crush - poor design for intended purpose.
