Other Check your balls !! (hitch balls that is)

[dta]

Precisely why I could never justify dropping the coin on an adjustable unit. Why spend $250 when $35 gets the job done.

Someone swiped a $75 12" drop hitch out of my dually one night and I was livid. That was 7 years ago and I am still pissed when I think back on it. needless to say, I run a locking pin now, even on the cheap hitch.

Be aware -- locking pins aren't as much of a deterrant as you might think.

if you are running a bolt on ball here's a few little tips.. when you get the nut tight take a punch and place it right where the nut meets the bolt and smack it with a hammer... it'll keep the nut from turning out, but if needed can still be removed... or drill a hole through the bolt and put a pin through it... or a more permanent solution, turn nut on, get welder out and make a nice hot circle(one bead) on the threads at the same location you'd use the punch...
