    Default 5th Wheel Hitch Installation

    Recommendations? Anyone on the forum here do this? Just bought a used 5th wheel and I'll need to have a hitch installed in my truck and thought I'd offer up some business to someone on the forum if possible.

    Thanks, Rick. Wasn't sure if you guys did that or not. I'll give you a shout when I get everything I need.

    It doesn't look too hard. Part of my issue is time.

    My buddy put in a B&W flip ball, for his goose neck. I talked him into the B&W 5th wheel adapter and I can say it is the slickest thing ever. Mostly because it removes and you get to use the whole bed without any rails in the way. Not the cheapest option but very cool. And B&W is a great company.

    I have a friend with one as well. Solid setup.

    After repeated warnings NOT to use a 5th-gooseneck adapter on his (ranch setup) rigs and a near death experience when it ripped apart (hey, I told you so...), he did the right thing.

    P.S. What is it about the "hydro-formed" rails and Dodge saying not to weld on the frame?

    My Feedback
    Credit TFOGGER : Liberals only want things to be "fair and just" if it benefits them.
    Credit Zundfolge: The left only supports two "rights"; Buggery and Infanticide.
    Credit roberth: List of things Government does best; 1. Steal your money 2. Steal your time 3. Waste the money they stole from you. 4. Waste your time making you ask permission for things you have a natural right to own. "Anyone that thinks the communists won't turn off your power for being on COAR15 is a fucking moron."

    ETA - Missed the "hydroformed" part...
    It is recommended not-tuh, but you can weld on them if necessary.
