Hey, I used what I had! It was a long flat piece of stainless metal that I bent into a U shape by driving my van over it. To bend the other end, I used the back wheel of my 18 wheeler. The axle bolt mainly holds everything together. I cut and bent the bottom just to make it more secure. What mainly holds it from going up or down is the shock bracket, whick sticks out just enough. Yeah it's big and heavy, but it works. I've used it for about 5 months now. A hacksaw and a drill can go a long way. Come to think of it I still have enough metal to make another one.

In the picture look just to the left of the Axle bolt. You'll see where the tab is bent in underneath the swingarm to hold it up. -Kyle On Mon, Feb 7, 2011 at 2:26 PM, paul annen <[email protected]> wrote: i see what the ball is attached to, but what holds the horseshoe in place?

That's all that's holding the vertical weight, but like someone else said, it's overkill so I'm sure does just fine. -Kyle On Mon, Feb 7, 2011 at 1:29 PM, paul annen <[email protected]> wrote: my question is how does that rig suport the vertical weight of the trailer tounge... other then that i like it On Sun, Feb 6, 2011 at 3:06 PM, surfswab <[email protected]> wrote: Whew. That's a pretty severe looking piece of metal holding the trailer tongue up.
