There is a second set of bolt holes that will raise pin plate 2 inches. Not enough to mount 5th wheel head to bed. I am going to look at tommorow to see if I can do hay hauler mod to it.
Now you are talkin. Looks what I had in mind but dam that is some hay. Ok nice job with the hitch design. So do I convert to goosenech coupler then to lunette ring?
A few more details. Trailer weight 15,000 pounds with max tong weight of 3,750 pounds. Currently 13 ft high leaving 6 inches to go up. Lunette ring will take weight and so will deuce. Keep the ideas coming I need all the help I can get.
I like that but still to high. My bed is 10 inches higher than the 5 th wheel pin plate. It is almost level with pintle hitch. I can make up this difference with adapter fabrication.
I have a m35a2 and 35 ft 5th wheel trailer. The deuce is to high for the 5 th wheel pin. I don't want to remove bed. Has anyone thought or converted a 5th wheel trailer to lunette ring. I know about the banging from the hitch but I can't justify a new truck. Any thoughts?
