Drilled the trailer on 6" centers in case I need to move hitch, currently all the way forward is about 4" in front of axle.

Used grade 8 5/8" fine thread with nyloc nuts.
Have plates for front and back, need to trim and weld in, needed trailer moved and being our 50 ton press just laughed at me when I pressed the petal I figured the side plates would do the job.

Fifth wheel plate appears to be sitting pretty high to me. What trailer are you going to use it on?

Did you drill those holes in the trailer by hand? Inquiring minds want to know.

Yes the ones in the trailer were drilled by hand, all the holes in the plates were cut on our cnc table

Funny your timing, it is sitting underneath the trailer right now hoping to bring the tractor home tomorrow at which time I will pull the dolly out from under the trailer and get some good photos

Well... things have not gone as planned as with any recovery, tractor is running and ready to move first guy showed up with a rollback that was supposed to have been rated for 20000 lb, truck weighs 18000, winched truck up on Deck then when he tried to lower it looked like the deck was going to bend in half. He was not happy but couldn't do the job. Had a second guy lined up to haul it yesterday, he had a couple jobs in the morning not go well so didn't get to it and now the rain has set in again . as soon as it stops raining I will pull it out and get photos.

Yours is better, I should have put the 5th wheel a little higher. Under the loaded trailer, it sits a little low. I built mine more for moving empty trailers.

Would ndt 900 or 1100 x 20 give you the height?

It has the A3 style trailer wheels, radial 11r22.5. Not sure if a set of 11.00x20 NDTs would be taller. I can see though.
