If you were on an uneven site front-to-back, you couldn't easily get it unhitched and leveled again. Between the 3-4" of lift required to clear the ball and the 2-3" of distance to unload the truck springs, it was a pain.
I also looked at the Gen-Y hitch GH-8045 & GH-8055. They said they haven't got through all the testing with LCI. They cost more than the Goosebox, but eliminates the air bag out of the equation.

The 8055 has a higher GVWR limit & pin weight than the 8045 (18k) |
