I've got rough country replacements sitting in my office waiting until it's warmer to install. I started noticing the shock absorption was weaker right before this cold spell hit. Too cold to get under and do a thorough inspection but at nearly 60K miles I figured why not just replace them...
You're right that the manufacturers put in safety margins, but even with those, they are the legal maximum. Most manufacturers, safety organizations, and government agencies all advocate for keeping well under tow capacities and not right at them. As I said, it's a rule of thumb and not a...
Research the "80/20 rule" regarding tow capacity. It's not an actual regulatory thing but more of a rule of thumb. Some suggest no more than 70% even. Basically, most vehicles while technically can pull something up to their rated amount, they don't do so easily and by not maxing it out...

I found this on thingiverse and printed it. I was able to take the magnetic mount from my old car and install it on the ball. Fits perfect and cost me about 50 cents to print (100% infill).
