Blue Ox Diamond Hitch - Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch - 30,000 lbs

Blue Ox Gooseneck - DH1303

This underbed gooseneck hitch has a 30,000-lb GTW and 7,500-lb tongue weight, so you can tow darn near everything. The hitch ball engages/disengages from inside the bed, and a safety tab on the ball visually indicates it's locked in place.

Features:

• Underbed gooseneck trailer hitch lets you tow without taking up space in your vehicle's bed
  • Only the ball and safety-chain loops are above the truck bed
    • Safety-chain loops are held flat to the truck bed by springs attached underneath
    • Rails and hardware mount under the bed
  • Ball stores upside down to give you full use of your bed when not towing
• Inverta ball locks in place with spring-loaded mechanism
  • Self-locking ball has a safety tab, so you can see that your ball is secured in place
  • Tapered channels and 3/4" load lug eliminate up-and-down movement of the ball
  • Remove the ball from its upside-down stored position by pulling straight up
• Customized to fit your vehicle
• Sturdy, 1-piece tubular steel construction
• Easy installation - uses existing frame holes where possible
  • No need to take off or lift the truck bed
  • Requires only a 4" diameter hole in the bed
  • No welding required
• Includes all hardware necessary for installation
  • Red Loctite threadlocker (LT37420 - sold separately) should be used on all bolts during installation
• Made in the USA

Specs:

• Gross towing weight: 30,000 lbs
• Tongue weight capacity: 7,500 lbs
• Ball size: 2-5/16"
• V-19 certified
• Limited lifetime warranty

With a 30,000-pound gross towing weight and 7,500-pound tongue weight capacity, the Blue Ox Diamond Hitch is perfect for towing heavy ranch trailers, auto transports and construction trailers. This under-the-bed gooseneck hitch leaves your truck bed open for business - only the ball and safety-chain loops are visible when you're towing, and the ball stores upside down in the bed when it's not in use. The safety-chain loops are held flat against the bed by the attached springs underneath.

With the Diamond Hitch, the ball-locking mechanism is right on the hitch ball, so there's no reaching into a muddy fender well for a lever or cable that unlocks the ball. When you're ready to tow, insert the ball into the cylinder and the white safety tab will snap into place, so you can visually check that the ball is secured. The spring-loaded lock on the ball holds it in the cylinder, and a 3/4-inch load lug and tapered channels keep the ball from moving up and down.

When you want to remove the ball, just push the thumb safety button to release the lock, lift up, and rotate the ball counterclockwise until it releases. Place the ball upside down in the receiver cylinder when not in use and you have an open truck bed.

This gooseneck trailer hitch is easy to install in your vehicle. You don't have to remove or lift your truck bed, and no welding is required. It uses existing holes in the frame whenever possible, and there is no wheel well ball-locking mechanism to install. No separate installation kit is necessary for this hitch; all hardware is included.

The Diamond Hitch is great for hauling livestock, race cars and whatever else grabs your fancy.

Product arrived in a very timely manner (with free shipping!) and all applicable hardware for installation was included. Although this is definitely a heavy duty hitch installation was a breeze due to properly aligned pre-drilled mounting holes. 26346

This is a great buy and not hard to install. The hardest thing is removing the bed brace in the model truck that i have . It also looks good in the truck.21826

The item was a perfect fit for my 1998 Chevy K3500 and went on with no problems just by following the included instructions. While I installed the hitch with the truck on the ground I would suggest that a lift would make it much easier due to the weight of the components.57190

Very easy to install, took about 3 hours install with one person. On a 96 chev K2500 diesel. Even fit with 4" exhaust. Hitch was shipped in 3 buisness days which was nice. Only bad thing was the instructions provided with kit were for the wrong truck, but that was easy to work though by printing the correct ones off the web site. Over all I highly recommend this product. 36824

• Can You Install a Gooseneck Hitch on a 1998 Chevrolet 2500 with a 3 Inch Body Lift
  
• The problem with putting a gooseneck hitch in a truck with a body lift is that the gooseneck hitch mounts to the frame, and as you know a body lift will lift the body higher off of the frame. Well, a gooseneck hitch installs onto the frame and the ball height is set for vehicles without a body lift. So, if you were to install a hitch on a truck with a body lift the ball will not stick up far enough through the body for a gooseneck coupler to attach to it. With a body lift you will not be a
