In reference to the earlier posting about pulling wagons vs owning a truck, what are you using for cushion hitches? Thanks...Dale

I'm using DMI Cushion II with a 2" reciever on both trucks.

Upon further review, I am using the Quik and Easy receiver hitch. I like it because you retain the stock bumber and it bolts on underneath.

I use a Schuck model 740 that works with my Reese hitch. Works great and I can remove that knee knocker when not in use!

I like the Schuck. See lots of P&H around, but I do not like them. The pin and hitch take the beating before the shocks do, and the are not designed to be rebuildable. Also seen lots of them with the ends rusted out. Everything that wears on the Schuck is rebuildable.

Wouldn't use anything but a Schuck. Used the 740 since 88 for all towing, but I'm due for new cushions, Had the whole bumper kit before that on an 80 Chevy with extension and swing. Liked that best.
