    Okay what do you mean by wobble? Mine wobbles a little while driving and such but I can't hear it. Is your wedge lock flush with the end of the trailer hitch that is under the truck? What do you have it torqued to?

    So if im on a bumpy dirt road the wilco hitch rocks up and down. You cant hear it but you can definitely see it moving. If I lift the hitch up it rocks up and back down. The wedgelock is in as far as it will go at the end of the hitch. I have it torqued to about 90lbs.
    I thought the wedgelock was for anti rocking so there should be absolutely no play at all and thats what Wilco offroad claims.
    Can you show me a pic of your wedgelock? I want to see how it looks compared to mine.

    Thank you,

    You have rubber spacers between the swingarm, and the part that goes into the hitch?

    But I will say I no longer have the Faux Beadlock's. They have been replaced with 2018 4Runner Trail Wheels. But you know what I will honor your petition sir

    Aw, you didn’t have to do that I was just trying to poke.
    Those 4Runner wheels do look better!

    I like mine.
