I have the 2" Torklift on my 2013 Leaf and have had no problems with it. Installation was easy even for a relative non-mechanic such as myself (I did not have any trouble with the bolts like another poster mentioned.) Probably about half the driving I do is going to/from bike rides. I have a hefty 4 tray Thule rack and have put 3 heavy mountain bikes on it at once, with no signs of sagging. The one thing I did notice is that the combined weight of the hitch/rack/bikes is enough to noticeably raise the front end of the car. Not a big issue, but if you really punch it the front tires can spin a little. Also at night people tend to think you have your high beams on.
if you have the LED headlights (Not sure of the others) there is a small roller knob in your left of wheel dash panel. just lower the angle of the headlights when you are "loaded"
I don't see a relevant enough different in the torklift and the curtis to justify the extra $140. I have so far has zero issues with my curtis. although the only thing I have put on it is my cargo carrier and generator.

Good advice on the LED light re-aiming!
How much does that generator weigh? I'm quite impressed if it hasn't bent with that kind of weight cantilevered off the back.

LED headlights? are you sure? I had no clue what it was till I looked it up it is a roller knob that looks like a dimmer knob. I will post a picture later.
The LED low beams are honestly one of my favorite parts about the car. So much better than the HIDs I have in other cars.
