Parts Needed For Putting Pintle Hook On 14,000LB Northstar Trailer And Recommended Hitch With Locks
Question:
I have a Norstar Ironbull Model DDP9616072 Dump Trailer and I want to convert it from a 2-5/16 ball hitch to a pintle hitch. I think this will make it easier to hitch and verify that it is properly connected. I pull it with a 2019 Ram 3500 Dualie. What parts do I need to do this? Also can you recommend a lock set up? Thanks

It appears your Northstar Ironbull Deckover Dump DDP9616072 comes with a 3" channel bracket which will accept the Buyers Products Lunette Ring # 337B16140. If you have a different size channel or different mount please let me know as I am going off the current trailer information.
For your 2019 Ram 3500 I recommend using the B&W Tow & Stow Pintle Hook # BWTS20056. This pintle hook is rated for trailers up to 14,000lbs which is the maximum trailer weight I found on your trailer. It also includes a 2-5/16" hitch ball which will allow you to use the same hitch for multiple trailers. The InfiniteRule Locking Pins for B & W Tow and Stow # 34061775-D will allow you to secure the hitch to your Ram and also lock the lunette ring to your hitch.
