Yall say those potholes are bad......shit come to downtown Jackson
I drive all over the country. California does not have the worst roads...Illinois gets that shameful award.
I have a 6 page economics report due tomorrow at midnight and I'm watching a video on a damn trailer hitch...😂
Austin A 😂😂😂
hahahaha u the man brotha i give u an A haha
Same lol 2 exams tomorrow
This more useful information.
Yup 45367things to get done, and we’re watching videos on a hitch lol
You have the worst roads!!??? Lmfao. Come to upstate NY where we use the most salt per mile in the nation.
12 even when and where cash and pocket
Y’all became my favorite youtubers!
Thanks man much appreciated
Thank you for the content dad ! I hope you have a meet and greet!
It still seems like it's to tight.
I don't know how many ranges there are, but I'm going to look into it.
I think of it like a leaf spring. The thinnest amount of springs to handle the max load gives the best ride.
For work I always bought 1/2 tones and air bags for 3/4 ton work and 3/4 tons with air bags for 1 ton work. Up to a point then the added tires and brakes were needed.
Hahaha need to get some chain extensions or heavy duty carabiners for your trucks.
im gonna get some longer chains
Eddie's Life Yeah there’s that issue where the Gen-Y hitch is longer pulling it away from the truck . But also the new Chev HDS and Ford Superdutys made it damn near impossible to hook up the chain hooks through the truck hitch holes. Using a carabiner makes it easy.
i know right its such a pain
Also look into sulastic springs, they change your rear shackles on the leaf springs and absorbs loads without a loaded down truck also without lowering your max payload. And yes it even works while fully loaded, check out there reviews makes 3500 ride like 1500 according to some reviewers. $400ish well spent
Thanks man im gonna check them out
3:25 your complaining about the roads? Obviously you have NEVER driven on a Michigan road. Your roads look brand new compared to what I drive on daily.
That hitch probably needs more tension. Looks like it is already st bottom of the range of motion.
Yup air bags are great ,but you still need to transfer wait to steering .stay safe haulin 👍
They need like a 10 k
Those travel trailers and especially toy haulers are known to often have 5% or less tongue weight from the factory. I bet they barely had 500 at the tongue before weight distribution.
Having non crossed chains + that short, sketches me out, and I've never seen a trailer with the chains mounted so close to each other.
Although I've never liked the concept of towing much with a lifted truck. I'm to used to commercial sized (just sub CDL) trucks with Pintle hitches.
ya i agree with u man Thanks for the sub brotha
Those chains weren’t even hook in to the hitch. WTF!
Shocker makes an airbag adjustable hitch, therefore allows you to use it on different trailers.
Killed it brother! 1,700lbs is the ticket. The twin filming was cool.
Thanks bro we try to do our best for u guys and cant wait for that marine flag just made a spot in my garage for it i am a huge military supporter and respect the military huge for what they do
Eddie's Life... Delivery date of the 18th at the address provided. Look forward to hearing back!
Hell ya thanks bro
That seems to look like a well built hitch. I bet the roads here in WV would put it to the test. Nice video though.
Thanks man
They may not know this but most roads in WV are 4ft wide with ruts in the middle and berms on one side with a cliff on the other.
Haha I don’t think they are 4’ wide but if your trying to miss the craters in the road 4’ is about all you have to drive on.
No lie! But locals all their rides 4wheelers or SxS's everywhere!. Us outa state riders surprised first trip in. My gps brought me into Ashland Resort in Northfork The Back Way lol. Except for the interstate, WV main roads are Logging Roads and Outlaw Trails! Then you get to the access for Hatfield McCoy trail systems haha. Some of the trails are groomed better than the local roads! Best trail riding I've found there tho. For camping the easiest access is at Burning Rock. Cabins and Camping with hook ups at both places.
Come to michigan with that hitch we have potholes every 2 ft
Don't forget about the endless construction that never seems to fix anything
Always criss-cross your saftey chains when towing a trailer. Because if your hitch comes undone, the chains will cradle the trailer.
Haha worst roads? Ready? Try highway 285 from Carlsbad new mexico to pecos texas. We call it death road for a reason
I've pulled trailer houses through there. Fuck that.
Agreed.
just want to make sure you used a phillips screwdriver to adjust the tongue weight on the hitch (per the trailer weight) before putting the trailer on.
try hawaii or Alaska roads, your roads look flawless boys lol
Awesome video 👍I also have a few toys😏 I got rid of the razor but I am looking for a toy hauler thanks for the help with the hitch😎
thanks brotha
Just a suggestion. Having the safety chains crisscrossed stops the tongue of the trailer from hitting the ground if it was to ever come off. The tongue would fall on the chains instead of the ground like a hammock saving alot of damage to the tongue. Yes you would need longer and stonger chains to do that.
Thanks for the info
Indeed Gary. Saw a guy once that used 1 7/8" when he needed a 2". The only thing saving him from catastrophic tongue damage was the criss cross chain trick.
What a ripped OFF ! If you were pulling a backhoe maybe... get a return refund !
You need to be using the 2 1/2” to 2” sleeve in your receiver. The sleeve came with the truck.
y would i want to go smaller
o ya we got the big boy
You guys should try the shocker hitch
That hook will wrap through the hole/frame if you turn it vertical.
Hey Eddie when your in your truck turn the tune to 200hp and show us what it does!!!!!!!!!!!!💨
haha u got it brotha
Eddie's Life 👍
I think you need the 10k one
Why don’t you weight the trailer loaded.. weigh the hitch weight. I think you bought another GEN hitch that is too heavy duty for your trailer. Just my two cents.. I enjoy your videos, keep up the good work.
I strongly suspect the 10k model is what they should have since they probably have less than 600 on the tongue. Those travel trailers are known to be tongue light.
It's SAGGING, sagging badly already sitting on the bottom. Got no place to go but UP.
i'd really like to know who kooked up those safety chains lol wow. there not even hooked up!
ghost busters
HITCH DOES GOOD WHEN LOADED BUT UNLOADED THE HITCH IS JUNK BEST HITCH ON MARKET FOR A SMOOTH RIDE IS AIRSAFE HITCH OR SHOCKER HITCH I HAVE ALL THREE HITCHES I AM RETURNING THE GEN Y HITCH.
I know dmaxryno is gonna lift his truck like 12 inches. Y’all should do another video then and compare them. Think it would be badass
we will once his truck is all done
Ryno: we’ve got terrible roads.
He says as he’s driving on a road that appears to be pristine. I’ve driven on brand new roads that look worse than that.
hahaha
Graham Clarence yeah he should try living up in New England where snowplows and frost heaves turn roads into washboards. Roads stay good for maybe two seasons if you’re lucky
SpectrumDubstep1 come to south louisiana. Its literally highway whoop sections and pot holes. Insane crappy roads
SpectrumDubstep1 I live in a rural area in the Canadian prairies. Paved roads sometimes last only a few months in the winter, and I’m used to driving on gravel roads that get potholes after one rainfall.
Your roads are fine I've gotten air in my truck in R.I
What does your camper weigh
Try a ProPride or Hensley Arrow. With the tongue weight your Warrior has I know you’re experiencing sway.
no this trailer never sways on me at all
Do you have airbags on your truck?
yes
Hey Eddie can a deleted and tuned 2015 gmc 2500 truck from ppei tunes ever cause the motor to blow up?
no i have never ever seen any of PPEI tunes blow a motor he makes them very reliable and to b a good daily driver
Not just the tune would cause the motor to blow. It depends on how you run it
Why aren’t your chains crossed??
bc the chains r not long enough we got new ones coming
How much did trailer weight and what was tongue weight
it is 9K with 1200 pounds of tongue weight
I guess this would work amazing if there was a lot of tongue weight?
What made the bigger difference? Air bags or Gen y torsion hitch?
Air bags
@@EddieLife3500 thanks I have hesitated on pulling the trigger on the hitch. I am getting bags first! Great video!
all im going to say is Oklahoma has toll roads and 365 road work and our roads still suck! makes no sense to me but what do i know...
Eddie you don’t have hats?
no i do not have any merch or hats out
Why you got Washington plates
bc thats where the truck is registered
I don't see it doing anything
😂😂 I love your videos
Thank you
Just came from dmaxryno channel first one hook a brother up whit a hat and stickers
my son will b picking the winners not me but u mite get lucky
How much does that big ole camper weigh? I see it’s a tri axle...
empty 8K full 13K
California doesn't make since.
If you have the EZ link tuning, could you tell me what custom tunes you have or what is the model number or whatever you got?
i have PPEI tuning with the ez lynz with a DSP5 switch it goes from 30 to 200HP u can contact PPEI for tuning options
The couch look like the casting couches haha..
hahaha
You’re the man bro! Appreciate all the content. I have a 2017 Denali 2500 HD lifted on a BDS 6.5 lift on fox shocks. With 37’s 20x10 if you ever need a l5p to test.
heck ya i always wana check out new truck
Eddy still liking it? What brand air bags do you have?
airlift 5000 Ultimate
Tell him Eddie theses are my Fry's....
haha seriously
I'd like to see how the next one down does.
What brand are those helper bags ?
Airlift
IMHO....I'm not seeing the value compared to performance. During the road test, I didn't see any movement in the hitch at all and for the cost, plus the additional weight hanging off the bumper....I don't see the advantage.
there is no way it can be legal in wisconsin , don't know about california law but in wisconsin the chain must be crossed in case trailer unhooks it falls in the chain i this case it will fall on the ground which is totally unsafe
Eddie, I have basically copied you. I do have a question though. I am thinking about getting the sway arms and weight distribution bars for the geny hitch. I have a 32' TT that has sway. Have you had any trouble with sway with your toy hauler? How fast do you normally travel with the setup you have on the highway?
i do use the weight distribution bars but no anti sway, mine use to sway and all i did was drop the front more to add more tong weight and now i can cruise at 80 with no sway what so ever
ya that would b cool and no not the truck i mean drop the tung of the trailer so what i did was drop the hitch lower so the front of my trailer nose is down more it helped me alot
Very Dangerous with out distribution bars ,you need the wait back on steering axle,good luck to anybody that does not use them .
i always use them but for the test i did not and when i pump the airbags it rides amazing
New to your channel. Do you still use the hitch? How much weight was the trailer? Do you think the 10k LBS hitch would be more flexible? 👍
Yes I love this hitch and I ended up getting the smaller hitch and trailer weights 15k loaded
@@EddieLife3500 Thank you.
is it not a safety requirement, if not by law to have the safety chains crossed?
im not sure but i never cross them
Eddie what hitch would you recommend for an 18 tundra?
This Geny hitch is pretty bad ass if u r gonna pull some weight
“I did a lotta work movingdahitch! You knuhalungahtook mehmove dat thing !? *crunch crunch*” you guys are so funny !! Nice vid, keep them coming !!
hahaha thanks man
California has the worst roads? He’s obviously never been to Michigan
Ryan Werner HAHAHA HA come to minnesota
boost lord But compare gas taxes of those states vs California. Also you guys have snow, most of California doesn’t have snow which means no salt on the roads. ;)
I’ll just stick with buying the weigh safe hitch and call it a day
Nice , im late but better late then never to see ur videos lol shout out Eddie
#w.p.b fl
Thanks man
Do you live in the Mojave?
no sir
what size lift are you running to be on the lowest setting of that 9inch drop hitch?
5 inch and it is set to that so when i pump my airbags up it sits perfect
I think that distribution hitch is messing with the hitch flex. This is a hitch that nobody should want.
Ok so Eddie you failed the mission you didn't comment on what you thought of the hitch you only asked Ryan what he thought of it he's never towed your trailer with the old fixed hitch only you have so he really doesn't know the difference he only knows what the new one feels like so please give your opinion and if you feel it was worth the money. Thanks Daren
I thought i did i really do like the hitch but i want to take some crapy roads so i can really put her to the test now is it worth the money thats a question for the buyer
Where's Chris?
At home
I've been looking to buy this hitch they recommend that i don't use weight distribution with the hitch. To many moving parts is what they told me. Did they recommend that for you.
no i got this hitch manly so i can still use my weight distribution hitch
Take a look at the shocker hitch, it has an air bag.
Fully adjustable for the perfect ride, no I don’t own one but would be the one to get.
Cost...................$400 + $30 shipping
Max Tow............12,000
Tongue weight...1,200
Or there HD version
Cost........................$500 + $30 shipping
Max Tow.................16,000
Tongue weight........1,600
Hard to beat air ride.
thanks im gonna check it out
Tell him don’t cry lol
Well, I'm convinced on buying one.
Awesome Video
Thanks for watching man
Eddie's Life anytime dude 👍
.cut to the chase and get a trailer toad.you won't even know there behind us.I own one best thing I ever bought for my truck trailer.
i will check them out
If you own horses it saves their legs big time!!!!! ! !
Sorry dont have any horses
Ryan need to delete the duramax and get back in the desert
im getting him there soon
"And we have the worst roads in cali" You obviously never been to PA.
Please don't complain about bad roads until you're in NE PA lol
hahaha better watch out Dmaxryno haha
Eddie's Life I'm so serious lol, wheel alignments and joints is a good friend of mine
haha i cant argue never been to PA or NE
Eddie's Life don't come unless you want sore cheeks for a week lol
hahahahaha
Loving theses videos
Thanks brotha
Excuse me did you just say California has the worst roads yeah I’m from Connecticut I’ll trade with you all day long (3:23)
Do a gen y hitch give away 😂
i mite u never know
👍
Broooooo pick me to win a work for it hat boss
Please
my son picks not me
I would like to see that hitch used with a big trailer like yours on I-76 in Colorado, it's a concrete highway but every crack is a bump, it's really bad, I run the left lane.
well if i ever go to Colorado i will record it for u brotha
you need to cross chains or is it not the law there it is were i come from
👍👍🤙
Eddie wear a seatbelt bud
U got it brotha i usually always do
Doesnt look like it does crap
it did for the small stuff but im gonna hit some big stuff also
Eddie's Life maybe put some white or yellow paint line marks on the torsion arm so we can see better if it is acutally moving or soaking up the ride. It looks like a badass hitch but its really hard to see on camera if its even doing something
im getting a new gopro mount first and then i will
Eddie's Life 👌 I enjoy your videos. Keep them coming
No michigan has the worst roads ryan because they gust deteriorate over time and plus putting salt down doesn't help eather so you should come here and compare the roads of Michigan to the roads of California
Jacob Lawrence I agree, I've driven both and FAR prefer the road quality of California....now the traffic on the other hand is a different story lol
Lmfao, I was gonna say the same thing. I’ve driven in both states and I live in MI. Cali is glass compared to Mi, try hauling a trailer and hitting a crater. Bad ass trucks and cool vids though!
CT HAS the worst roads in the US. Are states road budget is spent on welfare to re elect the same ppl. They don't maintain shit
I will cut your backyards grass if you work on my dmax (Delete). Deal ?
hahaha i dont have grass man i got 5 acres of dirt and weeds haha
Retail product hype. Selling crap to fix a non existent problem.
I had found Ryno's channel but I was watching his then you were filming same time, like yours better
haha thanks man but i think me and rynos r equally good
👍
