Enable Smooth Towing. If you regularly take your trailer out for a spin, you need the Gen-Y Hitch The Boss 2.50-Inch Receiver Hitch Torsion-Flex Bolt-On Pintle Plate 15-Inch Drop Hitch with Stabilizer Bars. Standard solid hitches have the unfortunate effect of transmitting trailer sway to your truck. This could lead to diminished control, reduced braking, and premature tire wear, not to mention an uncomfortable ride. This drop hitch is compatible with most standard 2.50-inch hitch receivers and is capable of cushioning trailer bounce by up to 90% giving you more control over your vehicle while reducing premature tire wear. With this torsion-flex trailer hitch on your truck, your outdoor adventures just became safer and more relaxing.
Original Design. Unlike standard solid hitches, the Gen-Y Hitch The Boss Torsion-Flex Bolt-On Pintle Plate Drop uses an original linkage system that features concealed rubber cords around a solid center bar. This design allows the linkage to move up and down every time your trailer encounters road irregularities, reducing bounce. Also, this towing hitch is engineered to take up to 21,000 pounds maximum towing weight, and 2,400 pounds maximum tongue weight. What’s more, this hitch features an integrated tongue weight scale enabling you to keep track of your trailer’s tongue weight. Likewise, this pintle hitch includes 7 pintle hook mounting positions allowing you to level-out your trailer more efficiently.
Hardwearing Build Quality. The Gen-Y Hitch The Boss Torsion-Flex Bolt-On Pintle Plate Drop Hitch is manufactured from heavy-duty steel maximum strength. Additionally, this torsion-flex hitch is precision-milled, drilled, and completely welded for exceptional rigidity and a snug fit when mounted. Lastly, this pintle plate hitch is finished a wrinkle-gray epoxy powder coating for optimal rust protection.
No-Frills Installation. The Gen-Y Hitch The Boss Torsion-Flex Bolt-On Pintle Plate Drop Hitch works just like any standard hitch when mounting and requires no special tools. Please note though that the included stabilizer bars mount by either being bolted or welded on. If you chose the latter, you might want to have it done by a professional.
Comes With a 5-Year Limited Warranty. The Gen-Y Hitch The Boss Torsion-Flex Bolt-On Pintle Plate Drop Hitch comes with a 5-year limited warranty against factory defects. Please visit the manufacturer’s website for more details.
Application. The Gen-Y Hitch The Boss 2.50-Inch Receiver Hitch Torsion-Flex Bolt-On Pintle Plate 15-Inch Drop Hitch with Stabilizer Bars fits all types of trucks with a 2.50-inch hitch receiver.

Review shared from Gen-Y Hitch The BOSS Torsion-Flex 21K Adjustable 3-Inch Weight Distribution Receiver Hitch Shank; 7-Inch Drop (Universal; Some Adaptation May Be Required)
Understand this Product!
I purchased the Gen-y Hitch called the Boss product number GH-1003 for a 2” receiver (Rated from 400 to 1100 lbs.). The claim from Gen-Y is “The BOSS Torsion-Flex Weight Distribution Shank provides one of the smoothest rides you’ll ever experience.” This is not entirely true. It does give you a better ride experience and keeps the trailer from transferring all its tongue weight (TW) into the tow vehicle for a more pleasant ride for sure during towing. This will ONLY occur if you purchase the right one. Make sure you know your tongue weight (TW) and match it up with the capacity of the BOSS Torsion-Flex Weight Distribution Shank. Don’t guess and do not use the 10 to 15% average of your trailer weight. Make sure you get it weighed and measured correctly. If you get a shank that is rated for more then what you really have you will be feeling absolutely no effects at all and vice versa. I have a 2021 Nissan Armada and I tow a travel trailer that is 26ft and has a max weight of 6600 lbs. Because the Armada has a shorter wheelbase then most trucks it is more sensitive to trailer sway and road bumps (which produce bounce). The shank I got is the low end 400 to 1100 lbs. capacity. My TW is 1100 lbs. (includes two full propane tanks). and keep in mind that the shank and Weight Distribution head adds another 100 lbs. to the rear end of your tow vehicle. The built in TW indicator barely moves to about a third of its range indicating that I would only have a TW of around 600 to 700 lbs. which is not true. That means that the TW indicator is not working as it should and cannot be trusted; however, it will give you an idea that your trailer is within its limits. The BOSS Torsion-Flex Weight Distribution Shank does a good job though. I experienced that it is a better and smoother ride when it comes to road dips at higher speeds on the freeway. Don’t think that the bounce would not be noticed because you will still feel it, but it stopes it relatively quickly and reduces the sway that often comes with it by not allowing the front end of your tow vehicle to lift as much as it would without it. Be aware that this thing weighs a lot and with my weight distribution head attached it almost reaches 100 lbs. That is difficult to lift for any man and impossible if you are older and ailing from back problems. Its construction is solid no doubt and hence the excessive weight. It also adds about 5” in length sticking out from your rear bumper to the point where I have to turn off my rear parking sensors. The extra length also contributes to having to lengthen your safety chains on you trailer. In all, it is a worthwhile addition to your rig set up. It will give you a better feel on the road and increase your confidence when hitting those dips in the freeway. I cannot really comment on the sway though since it seems to be the same as before with my sway control setup (Reese Straight-Line WD).

Best hitch
Tried finding a hitch to work with my f250 super duty locally, but with no luck. This is the best source for extra large hitches by far.
