Ordered the new spring from MORryde. They offered me dealer cost which was very kind of them. I have high expectations that this will resolve the back and forth movement. The spring is rated for up to 23,000 lbs but the pin box is still rated at 18K which is the gross weight for my trailer. This is their heaviest spring, a #6. I will be towing with a PullRite ISR rated at 20,000 lbs and Reese base rail adapter rated at 25,000 lbs. (Got the base rail adapter for $100 on CraigsList!). This combination of base rail adapter and hitch will be much lighter than the Curt 24K I was using but heavier than the Andersen I had that collapsed. The PullRite weighs in at 52 lbs and the Reese adapter is about 90 lbs. Both are very manageable.
I saw that Pullrite hitch in Tampa last year at CW. It was so new they didn’t even have a price on it. I really liked the idea. Shortly thereafter I was introduced to the Andersen Ultimate. I realized the the Pullrite is sort of the inverse of the Andersen. Makes me wonder if that was designed that way to avoid patent infringement. Both are a great ideas. For my usage I much prefer the Andersen Ultimate. It’s light weight simple to install and don’t need the rails. Friends (anyone with a truck ALWAYS has friends, right) are amazed at how quickly the hitch is removed and installed.
