You can take it to the extreme and weld your trailer tongue to the hitch ball too, but I don't think that would make this conversation or anything else better either.

If one were to actually use a WDH and spring bars awhile, one might be able to offer better opinions about them. Then, one would be sticking closer to one's actual knowledge and experience instead of making up wild and unfounded speculations to burden others with.
