Best heavy duty products and winches

Strong and very heavy product. Protrudes further than most of our hitch receivers, but nothing special. Good delivery and perfect for our needs on the back of the Titan XD.

Pros
  • heavy duty product
Cons
  • empty

Exactly what I needed at a great price.

Trusted name, great price, good workmanship, extra discount I needed. My receiver is 2 1/2 inches, this one is 2 inches but it has the weight capacity I need. Bought the transition sleeve, welded it on, done!

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Minor issues

It's definitely hard work!

It's tough steel and the weight proves it. The hitch pin is too far out in my opinion and as a result this hitch sticks out a lot further than I would have hoped but I had to trust their design and we got 3,000 miles without a problem. It was just what we needed and matched our Reese WD clutch perfectly.

Pros
  • Heavy Duty Construction
Cons
  • Upgradeable

Needed to lower my Eaz lift setup an additional 3 inches

I have a 1000 lb Eaz lift weight distribution setup on my RV, I had a 1500 piston. I bought a 2500 piston and had to factor in the extra height on a bigger truck. and it worked great. The hitch height has been reduced by an additional 3 inches. Another notch to lower another inch if needed. The camper now pulls perfectly straight.

Pros
  • handy item
Cons

Exactly what the doctor ordered!

The hitch that came with my motorhome was not big enough. When I hooked up the camper correctly and parked my truck on level ground, the camper was too low at the back. I ordered this to work with my Reese weight distribution system with no issues. Good quality very well built. Arrived slightly bruised, the forwarder must have lacked the muscles. Because it had scratches and scrapes.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • ---

Beefy did it!

I thought it was heavy gauge tubing when I bought it but when it arrived I found it was actually solid metal. As a result, it's very, very meaty! I needed the extra drop that this stock provides because the hitch height on my new 1500 series Silverado truck is 2 inches higher than the hitch height on my old 2500HD Silverado. Find out. Anyway, I got the extra lift I needed and now my equalizer clutch is set up properly for the new truck.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • No instructions

Best overall deal Best deal on towing and winch

Need a longer drop bar for our 3 horse bumper trailer with leveling hitch. On long journeys with wind, the trailer moves, so it is really necessary to use an equalizer. Our existing hitch was not long enough to lower for the larger F250 truck, resulting in the trailer being too high at the front and the rear bumper too close to the ground, so we needed a solution. Local trailer shops ordered this bar especially for me for $120. After searching online, I found it on Amazon for less than $64 with

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Hard to say

Gave enough drops for an F250 on a 10km campervan.

Quality product feels very solid. I used this on my Heavy Duty 2016 to get enough drop for our 30ft TT. I used it with our EAZ Lift WD as the stock that came with it couldn't get the head down low enough to level the camper for towing this new truck. This CURT shank is a bit longer but that doesn't make a huge difference to me and might be helpful for some as it gives more room to lower the tailgate when it's up. I'd love to find a 2 1/2 by 2 1/2 with that much scrap available, but using anโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Stable test results
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
