Random thought...
You are towing across the middle of nowhere and your WD hitch fails. You can no longer use the bars to distribute the weight.
It is 100 miles to the nearest town.
It would be very tempting to just leave the bars off and tow as if it were a non WD hitch.
Questions:
1 can a WD hitch fail in this manor?
2. How much safety margin would make one comfortable enough to tow without the spring bars.
The alternative is to leave the trailer where it is and drive to someplace that can fix the WD hitch.
Or am I just dreaming up a failure situation that can never occur?
