Departure Angle
Ive just removed my revocery pivet on the centre of the rear cross member and finally got round to fitting the dixon bate ball and pin to the NAS bumper.

Im wondering how much the departure angle has been impacted...anyone running this set up had any problems?? Mike

congratulations...you have won the" most people who have looked at a stupid post prize" Thumbs Up

Of course it affects it!!..simple maths.....Standard bumper +max departure angle = X degrees, therefore standard height +drop of step plus ball=worse departure angle Thud

Number of degrees different easily calculated here...www. Censored .co.uk

Now go and put your hat on with a big D and stand in the corner Mr. Green You cannot teach stupid people to do clever things

I have a DB - it should be renamed a Dixon Bate Anchor! Ours has not snagged properly yet.
