Fold down balls are a pain in the ass.. I have never seen one the did not require hammer or prybar to maneuver.. Keep a stationary under the bed

[etk300ex]

It seems like so little material there to pull 25k

rotted out fold down balls suck.


mine and matts B&W work easy other than needing a second hand to pull the lever

Boy that's a lot of hate on fold downs. Seems so simple...

[M4wdFab]

i looked at 3 fords with them, i couldnt not physically get them up with a 4 way pry hahaha

[mr.mindless]

those are not resounding reviews. I am tempted to blame lack of PM but I never grease anything, either.

Anything with pins on linkages seems like it should get terrible quickly too, though. and I'd be drilling holes through the flatbed frame to run any of those handles over to the dirtynastyness of the wheel well.

this looks really spiffy, retractable instead of turnover.

meh. The folding look so simple and pry-able. what can possibly go wrong?

i will agree i have taken a propane torch to my goose ball iced to the bed more times than shot it with grease or WD hahah

My fold down ball works flawless. It might have to do with the random I would say 5-10 gallons of different types of oil that spill in the bed every year that keeps that baby running smooth!

Pyro probe finally installed. A project I'm sure my neighbors did love me for.

Crowded in there.



I dropped the damn (non magnetic) fitting and had to take the intake off the turbo. Getting that piece out was more annoying than tearing a rear hub off for naught.

Ebrake will be happy again once I get seals. Parts all look good but the friction material is all gone, and oil soaked to boot, at least on the px side.

New hitch all set. Receiver in the bed is pretty sloppy. It's been a lil abused.

Must be an open bed / rochester salt thing. I remove my ball from my B&W when not in use on my F350. Handle works fine after 2 years.

 We also have the curt 30k turnover on the F550. Works perfect with normal greasing. I have noticed a little wear and on the ball & pin but it disappears after  greasing. 70k of nothing but towing... nothing too unexpected.  My buddy @ Custom Truck Creations was looking into a replacement ball pin but I think we both forgot.
But I guess once again... this truck and hitch never see salt.

Id say buy a case of spray lube from Nuway and rock on.

haha, i have tons of those feruls and crap

$3.629 cash at the res.

Locker not good enough. Stuck after washing truck and trailer. Tried too hard before giving up and had to recruit help to drive the truck while I winched w the Dakota. Pull, pull w driving, winch alone wasn't good enough. No good point on this rig for a good snatch (I'm stuck hooking the front axle) and I couldn't find my strap anyway.

Dakota can't hook to the trailer either. Too tall, too little clearance. Had to safety chain it to the front bumper to move it.

That was an hour of fml. At least the trailer looks great. White Eagle is going in it tonight followed by Ram parts worth saving for sale.

Maybe we should have capped some serious mud terrains for you. Can we come bogging in your yard?
