Goose neck hitch help

[bigsmokey531]

Anyone have experience w putting a goose neck hitch on a 2015 truck w a kelderman kit. I've put in a few hitches but the mounting bracket for the bags are right on the frame where the mounting brackets for the hitch should sit ? Any help Would be appreciated

I think I had to pull the side plates on my GN hitch to get just my firestone bags all bolted on. Im pretty sure a B&W uses factory holes in the frame to bolt to and if the kelderman kit does as well they should bolt together just put one inside of the other if needed.

Yes. I just went through this with my 00. B&w turnover hitch and firestone bags use the same factory holes. You pass the bag bolt kit through both and nut it up.

I sure would think twice before adding a 5th wheel with that ridiculous wheel offset. You will be breaking axle shafts very easily if anything but very light towing.

Just curious is the picture you posted as high or as low as the kit gets? If I can ever afford a newer truck its getting air in the rear for sure at least. How is the ride on it?

It'll go as low as 8" in the front an as high as 14 the rear will go to 16. Not sure why but kelderman gives u smaller bags for the front. The ride is great prob the best ride I've ever had for a lifted truck

275k miles with a 12" rim being the narrowest and 35" tires the smallest and ive never done anything like that. In fact, im only on my second set of unit bearings.

Brakes dont last long but it hurts nothing else especially if you are mindful and do maintenance.

I think there is a big difference between a 12" wide wheel with a -44 to -51 offset compared to what he is running.

Exactly! And it looks completely stupid sticking that far out too.

But how you gonna have stance game w/o most of the wheel outside the fender? I guess they don't look as bad on the OP's truck because its lifted so much. I am however still waiting for the first person to run a wide enough wheel and spacers where the whole tire is outside of the fender. Shouldn't be to much longer

Damn STROKERBO, lighten up on the opinion man, not my cup of tea either but to each his own. I don't recall him asking any body's opinion on his wheel offset or the repercussions of towing with it.

Still waiting on a response to my question...

Have ruined rear axle hub inner and outer bearings and have also replaced many on customers for the same reasons.
