Can the Curt Above-Bed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Part # 16055 Install Both Ways
Question:
can you install this plate backwards to gain more clearance for the cab.
asked by: Richard
Expert Reply:
Yes, the Curt Above-Bed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for Fifth Wheel Rails part # 16055 can be installed where the offset is closest to the cab or where the offset is closest to the tailgate. In order to reduce rattling, I strongly recommend using the Fifth Wheel Rail Sound Dampeners part # 16900 between the gooseneck hitch and base rails.
You may also want to consider using the Curt Safety-Chain Loops for Gooseneck Hitches on 5th Wheel Rails part # C16000 as some states require that safety chains are not attached to the hitch but another source such as the base rails.
I have attached a review video of the gooseneck hitch and safety chain attachment points for you as well.
