Think about this Rick et.al.
When you pull up those 1000 lb lift bars, what forces are you puting into
that hitch? Try connecting the hitch ball and knuckle to the trailer without
the truck attached to int. Lift just one of those bars and watch what
happens.
Yes they work, they lift the rear of the truck, but they to it by imparting a
HUGH twisting force to the trailer hitch. They lift the ball and pull down
on the forward end of the structure that is welded to the truck. Poor
welding will not tolerate that any more than it will the weight of the
trailer. You were just lucky that it broke at home and that the forward end
of that structure could stand the downward force imparted by those lift bars.
Cheers!
