Hitches

just my opinion but i have a 29bhbp wildcat converted to a gooseneck (thats the 2 and 5/16 ball in the bed ) the ball i chose was a b/w turnover ball which I installed myself in about an hour and a half (considerably less with two people) with common hand tools (plus a 4inch holesaw or jigsaw) I can now unhook with no trouble even on uneven ground,pull ahead pull a lever turn my ball over and have a flat obstruction free bed in a matter of seconds. the gooseneck ball also lets me tow a stock trailer, a larger flatbed trailer or a trailer with a dump-box. the ball also lets me go over all kinds of terrain without having to worry about my 5ver frame flexing. As for strength I have never heard of a gooseneck ball failing and I live around people (farmers, construction,oil patch) that think GCVWR is for sissies.Either way put the load in the bed not on the bumper and you will find you have much better handling and stability.
