If you don't get something earlier, I'll post a pic of mine when I get my van out of storage next Monday.
I have a Toyota WDS as they did an inspection/recall on Prado's with tow bars a couple of years ago. Toyota swapped my non genuine WDS with a genuine one for free.

@steve67 I actually bit the bullet and removed the old tow bar and put a more sturdy h&r tow bar on

Does this mean you dont want pics any more?
Its not a bad idea to have a topic full of wdh and vehicle setups as there are that many different hitches out there and all different ways to set them up.
This is my Anderson hitch on a new BT50 . The Anderson hitch does not work with out that spacer (which is different now as it fouled on the break away chains.

No probs, the HR is going to be better than the Toyota tow bar.
What I did find with mine was that the jockey wheel attachment on the draw bar was exactly where I needed to put the part of the WDH that holds the chains. I asked Jayco about moving the holder, but they advised against it as the chassis has been 'hot dipped' to protect it from rust. I've left it, bar the bars are being held to far forward which is not ideal.

@steve67 would it make a difference if u tried 30" instead of 28" bars or visa versa?

I have a similar problem and enquired about price of just the bars and you might as well buy a new hitch complete. I don't remember the price but I do remember I was glad I was sitting down at the time. :faint:

 

[gleeso]

Oh ok fair enough, wouldnt doubt that at all.. im all out of suggestions then lol

If a change of bars will make a difference then sell your set up on fleabay and buy a replacement setup of a different size for around the same price.

The difference is huge

I run the 30" bars on the standard length drawbar. As you can see they just sneak up the side of the jockey wheel bracket

I couldn't even get my chain to the mounting hook

When I used the same set up on the Ranger, I had to use the last link on the chain and it was extremely tight
