anybody here using the B+W Gooseneckball hitch mounted in the bed of yer pick up ?? I inquired about these with the guy who sells them on Ebay and he said they "Bolt Right Up and need No Drilling" anybody have this hitch settup?? I have an 07 and looked in the wheel well and saw only one hole, maybe I need to look again?? is the B+W a good hitch or should I go with Reese or Draw Tight ?? anybody have any experience with these?? Thanx!!

 

I have the B&W Hitch and it truly is bolt on the only hole you have to make is in the bed. I had my old mans hired hand put mine in one saturday while i was to hung over to do it and he had it in, in about 1.5 hrs

 

Both our 01's have B+W hitches with the turnover ball in them and I've never had trouble. But our dually they installed the day we bought it and my pickup was used by Dodge asa call hauler so it already had it installed. I'm guessing there are more holes or you use some of the bolts already in the frame you missed.

 

i have one in my 03. i put it in myself. it reeally is a two man job but one could if he had too. took my around 3 hr to put in but i never done one before plus beer breaks! it is a bolt on system. like they said , the only hole is in the bed of the truck. really a simple unit. does a good job too.

 

Cool, Thanx for the quick replys[][:-]

 

anybody with an 06 or 07 dually 4x4 have a pic takenof the frame thru the wheel well where the hitch is mounted that I could see??

 

What about the holes for the brackets for the safety chains? Are these bolts removed?

 

when I look in my wheel well at the frame, I only see one hole in the frame

 

there is only one bolt that goes through the frame on my oe. it is the back and it goes top to bottom. it uses ubolts on front to hold it there.

 

How far ahead of the axle does the ball end up? I got a Flip Over ball put in my '02 Ram and they stuck it at least 4 inches ahead. This was way too much for a short bed truck (IMO). When I get one in my '05 I want it within 1 inches
