Well almost perfect, within an 1/2-1 inch or so if you taper the entry to the bulldogs, it could self align somewhat, as long as there was no serious binding while connecting. Wouldn't you want the frames to be aligned level before locking... can't think of a reason not to. Add a couple of contacts on the frame & swivel rails and do a LED on the dash to indicate when the frame is aligned if you want to know from inside the cab. This obviously won't work if you need to lock in other than level unless you create a variable locking position like that on a snow plow or grader. I'm not to keen on drilling the join to apply pins or modifying the joint, but locking at or near the frame rails. Thanks!
