SO I got stuff in the mail, and at Truckin' Thunder. 16" drop hitch showed up via UPS, and I got some stuff at TT today. They have a HUGE selection of hitch/receiver stuff. Highly recommend them.

I got a quick-change 3 ball kit for $45 dollars (10,000 lb rating - way more than I need), and a 2" receiver extension that allows me to use my hitch-mount bike rack and still clear my spare tire (bumper mount spare). That was also about $45.

**** wasn't cheap, but it was in stock... which was the key. And it's all nice stuff.


NOW... stupid question.

If i break loose my rear shackles to lube them, how do I do that and then get them back in??? Do I need to jack up the chassis or something???? I assume there is a huge load on them.

Thanks, squeaking is driving me nuts.

Yeah, just take the weight off them. Jack it up higher or bring it down a little. I am gonna get the Logan rear bumper eventually with the receiver built in. My factory hitch caught on everything.
