Does Using Gen-Y Capture Plate for Pullrite Hitch Also Require Using Pullrite Capture Plate

Question

Question:

When I initially installed our 2013 PullRite 4100 Superglide slide hitch I distinctly recall the literature not recommending the usage of a lube plate. Well be changing out our pin box to the Gen Y and Im wondering if a lube plate would now be advisable or should I stick with the PullRite recommendation?

You would only need to use the Gen-Y Capture Plate # GY98FR and the filler shim part # GY76FR and would not need to use the current capture plate as well. You'd only need the Gen-Y components with your Pullrite hitch.
