A must have, IMO. Especially using a height adjustment hitch for lifted Jeeps. That results in a lot of play/movement X2. Get two! No play, no movement, and no more clunking on and off the gas and at starts and stops.

What is going on in that pic (besides the "hitch tightener")?

Weld build-up a couple of spots on the insert then grind the welds down close to flush until it fits snug in the coupler. Then spray paint the welds black. Saves from having all that extra hardware to deal with.

You will only need to put weld on two of the surfaces.

Two hitch tighteners.
Using a hitch riser to keep tow bar level.
There is a rubber Hidden Hitch cover resting on top of the riser.
There is a boat engine cover sitting in the gravel between the tow bar and the retaining wall blocks. That could give the illusion that something weird is going on.
I still need to wash the motorhome.
That should explain everything.
