the F550 I got came with an AirSafe Hitch in it and I was wondering if anyone else uses this hitch? So far so good as far as ride and ease of hook up and release. I do notice that the bags leak over time and the paint is slowly chipping and I will need to repaint soon. haven't received much info or feedback from the company as far as replacement parts and equipment. I did have a broken shock mount but it was due to operator error. I had a lot of wood to take on one of our trips and one of the pieces inadvertently made its way to jam the shock and break the mount. Anyway, just checking for others that might have experience with this set up. Here are a few pics of mine....

Had to make these new shock plates...

Also made a cover for it for protection. Hopefully I can find some time to take it apart and re paint...

I have no personal experience with that particular hitch, but I will say you do good work. :)

Thank you!(tx)! Love the hitch as it makes for a nice smooth pull. I just wish it where easier to remove, hence the cover, it doesn't come out of the truck much:(
