Description

Towing a heavy trailer over bumps, potholes, and uneven roads can make every mile feel rough, especially on longer trips. The Gen-Y Hitch BOSS Torsion-Flex Weight Distribution Shank helps make towing more comfortable with built-in rubber torsion suspension that absorbs road shock and softens harsh movement between your truck and trailer. Unlike a traditional rigid shank, the Torsion-Flex design helps reduce bouncing and repeated jolts. Gen-Y reports up to a 90% smoother ride, helping protect your cargo while making long-distance towing more comfortable. Designed to work with compatible weight distribution hitch systems, the BOSS replaces a traditional rigid shank with a cushioned, adjustable connection. Its suspension helps reduce stress on your truck, trailer, and towing equipment while giving you more control over rough roads. Multiple mounting positions allow you to adjust the height of your weight distribution hitch head to help keep your trailer properly positioned. This makes it a practical upgrade for drivers who want a smoother towing experience without replacing their entire weight distribution setup. Available in 16K and 21K towing capacities with 2-inch and 2.5-inch receiver options, these heavy-duty configurations offer adjustable drop heights ranging from 12.5 to 17.5 inches. Built from heavy-duty steel with a durable silver-vein powder-coated finish, the BOSS is designed for demanding towing applications. Gen-Y states that its products are tested to exceed SAE J684 towing requirements. IMPORTANT NOTES: This is a weight distribution shank, not a complete weight distribution hitch system. A compatible weight distribution head and spring bars are required. Verify your receiver size, required drop height, towing capacity, and tongue weight before ordering. Never exceed the towing capacity of the lowest-rated component in your towing setup. Gen-Y recommends an average break-in period of approximately 500 miles. These configurations require LTL freight shipping.

About GEN-Y Hitch

Gen-Y Hitch is a company built out of necessity. For anyone with a truck that obviously uses it to tow at least some kind of trailer, determining the proper ball mount for each trailer can be an unduly pain. While the height of your truck doesn't typically change very often, each trailer can have varying heights coupled with varying ball sizes. At this point, you have several options. You can carry numerous ball mounts for each trailer, or possibly you just call it "good enough" and have a trailer that is not riding level. Or maybe you're one of the smart ones and have an adjustable height ball mount that allows you to carry a single ball mount for all trailers. Sure, there's a lot of options out there, but most of them have inadequate load carrying capacity and lock in place by a single pin, meaning you get a ton of wiggle and rattle that is not only annoying, but also unsafe.

Gen-Y Hitch manufactures extreme duty towing products that are made in the USA and proven to be the strongest, most versatile trailer mounting system on the market. Lets face it, the trailer and its contents are valuable, and so is your truck, don't attach the two with a loose, rusty piece of garbage you picked up at your local parts store two decades ago, upgrade with the best, upgrade with a Gen-Y.
