Hmmmm... quite a job... I’m going to replace EVERYTHING... for me it’s turning out to be easier...cheers... thanks for the input

Depending on costs, I would look into something better than the standard solid pin box. I have a Rota Flex, and it’s 110% better.

Yeah mate... I’m going to get a Sidewinder... cost is doable including freight to NZ $NZ3,000.00. Plus another $2000 for a new hitch...no food for a month will do it ����

I had one of those when I had my short bed pickup. Cut the welds slowly not to produce much heat. There were no issues with it after I removed it.

Sidewinder should just bolt onto the brackets on the trailer, no need to cut anything.
