My opinion is to stay with ST and go with a reputable brand. The challenge there is knowing what is and is not reputable.

When I eventually swapped out my Westlakes, I did a lot of research...

I went through the same 'enlightenment' when I got my 2015 Rubicon 2500. Puzzled the crap out of the techs at Husky because I couldn't get the hitch to balance and in the end, they said "Go and...

In that case, any of the good quality multi-stage chargers should work. I use C-Tec, I even have one permanently installed on my RAM diesel as it can sit for a while between uses. There will be other...

A good number of videos online showing how to do it but if you don't already have an electric A-frame jack, you'll be fitting one in short order. Hooking up a WD hitch requires a couple of up/down...

If you are going to the expense of AGM then it is worth adding a quality multi-stage charger. The issue with the ones in the hardware stores is that they take 120v and step down to 12v. If you are...

Ain't that the truth! The tires were about the best thing on my RV. LOL!

I may be overly harsh with that as I've put my RV through more in the last couple of years than most see in a lifetime.

The only downside to the heavier WD bars would be less 'flex' to absorb the vertical movement in the hitch and with that, more stress on the A-Frame but context is important here because even that...
