When installing the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter # CAB-C5G, the adjustment screws and cap screws that secure the collar to the adapter should be torqued to approximately 185 ft. lbs.

This adapter will allow you to use the gooseneck hitch on your truck to tow a 5th-wheel trailer. The poly cushions will absorb shock for a smooth ride and it has a towing capacity of 20,000 pounds. I have attached an installation video so you can see exactly how everything installs and operates.
