I've searched the various threads and can't find where anyone has a solution to my particular dilemma. A couple months ago, I purchase a Forest River popup that has an electric tongue Jack. If I want to hook directly to my factory tow package on my Wildtrak, I have to remove the 35" tire. However, I still run the risk of tearing off the camera if I don't drive in a straight line.
For my first trip, I bought a 12" extension. That solved my problem and it was a short trip 40 minutes away. I did notice a squat on both the camper and Bronco that made me nervous. I have a 6 hour trip coming up and have been researching and learned that the extensions reduce my towing capacity a lot. Hence the squat.
Long story short, I've been researching Weight Distribution setups and want to find one that has a long enough shank to clear the camera and tire. Has anyone been in a similar situation? What product did you use?
Camper Specs:
Dry Weight
1,896 lbs.
Payload Capacity
1,359 lbs.
Hitch Weight
255 lbs
