how did you mount your gooseneck? (pics, im going to do mine this winter, i have fold down reese for it, but need ideas for mounting to the frame)

slick, looks incredibly simple, and probably strong as hell

i have an idea of what i want to do, but its never a bad idea to get some different viewpoints

i have an idea to use some angle iron to spread the load across about 1.5 foot of the frame rail on each side, then have C-channel run across, and bolt up to the hitch

i have all the needed metal at the farm, and believe me its heavy enough, and my uncle has a machine shop i can do all the drilling at

i pull that 28 gooseneck everywhere...it has sleeping quarters in the front and i usually haul 4 horses. we trail ride pretty often.

that hitch hasnt ever given me a lick of trouble and it took me about 3 hours to design, fabricate, and install.

ive built 3 since then for buddies. total cost is about 30$.
