the black horizontal bar hanging out of my hitch.

Actually the Superbumper is the model WITH a trailer ball built in, the one Tom, JAMAS and myself have is called the "Sparebumper"...but we just always call it SB, cuz that's the website name I guess.
The website is a bit cheesy and very BUSY and cluttered...the product is much better than their website design...
If you watch the pictures cycling through down next to words "Safety & Protection", you'll see my Foxfire, and JAMAS' Ebony.
The owner guy is pretty cool, you can call and speak directly with him. Name is Jeff Mohr. He'll also negotiate a little on price if you ask!
Watch the video there (from MotorWeek), it shows how it works. Basically it has some very hard rubber donuts tha go on outside of hitch, and some rubber cylinder pieces that go INSIDE the stinger, so between them, you get some shock absorption effect, as the slinger slides into the receiver. You can still put a lock on it too.
