Spin it any way you want.
You don't comprehend what you read. I didn't tell someone to go out and spend hundreds of dollars on a hitch they most likely do not need. I only said you were giving bad advice.
By saying i am giving bad advice you are saying they need to get a WDH.... anyhow i will keep doing it my preferred way you keep doing it your preferred way at this point it is a matter of opinion

You pull 15k lbs on a 2500 with no weight distribution? What's tongue weight? And what size caribiner do you use for that?:cool:
The 2500 is rated for 17k and the tongue weight is around 750-1000 lbs typically on park models there is no need for a wdh if the truck is not squatting or past the recivers load limit with a normal hitch

Much less hitch weight than I would have thought.

5% hitch weight? Isn't that a separate safety issue? My 6100 lbs dry weight TT is higher than 750 lbs. I do agree the 2500 handles that tongue weight just fine though. Saves me time when I go fetch it the night before a trip.

They are not ment to travel with so the axles are more centered than most trailers
