Will Alumistinger Ball Mount Part # AM3505 Fit a 2013 Toyota Tacoma with 6-Foot Bed
The Alumistinger Ball Mount, part # AM3505, will fit 2-inch hitch receivers. As long as your hitch receiver is a 2-inch size (and all hitches that we offer for your truck are this size) then this ball mount will fit and will provide you with some height adjustment capability for matching the heights of your hitch ball and trailer coupler. This ball mount provides a choice of either a 4-inch rise or a 3-inch drop in height relative to the top of the receiver opening. It carries an 8000-lb gro

How to Reduce Sag on a 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 When Towing a 5th Wheel Trailer
I do have a solution for you, however, Andersen does not offer a 3-hole hitch ball for the Andersen Ultimate Fifth Wheel to Gooseneck Adapter, # AM3225. Also, I do not think that the solution to your problem is to raise the height of your trailer because your truck will still be sagging. If your truck is sagging when towing, that can cause possible traction issues and poor ride quality. Since your truck is sagging in the back, I recommend adding a rear suspension enhancement product like Tim

Will Ranch Hitch Adapter AM3100 Work on a 2002 Jayco Qwest 5th-Wheel Trailer
The fifth-wheel to gooseneck adapter # AM3100 is designed for the industry standard 2 inch king pin. It is fairly easy to be certain it will fit, however, by taking some measurements on the 2002 Jayco Qwest trailer. You can perform these steps to determine if the adapter will work for your fifth-wheel trailer. 1. Pull the truck into position as if you were hooking up to the trailer, making sure that the truck and trailer are level. 2. Measure from the pin box to the top of the ball in

Fifth Wheel to Gooseneck Adapter Recommendation to Pull a Trailer with a 2002 Silverado Short Bed
I recommend the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned Fifth Wheel to Gooseneck Adapter, # CAB-C5GX1216, because it will provide a more comfortable ride over the Ranch Hitch Universal Adapter, # AM3139. The cushioned adapter will absorb road shock to help reduce bouncing when towing your trailer. Keep in mind, this type of adapter is not recommended for trucks with beds shorter than 6 ft and this adapter will not allow you to safely execute a 90 degree turn. This adapter will provide additional clearance

What Locking Hitch Pin for EZ Hitch Adjustable Steel Ball Mount Kit, Part # AM3290
The EZ Hitch Adjustable Steel Ball Mount Kit, Part # AM3290, is illustrated in the attached photo. I have indicated several key measurements. The shank of this ball mount uses a standard 5/8-inch hitch pin to secure to your hitch receiver. If you wish to replace this with a locking pin you can use part # BD580402 from Bulldog. This locking 5/8-inch hitch pin is made of solid stainless steel, includes 2 square keys and comes with a plastic cap to cover and protect the lock mechanism from moist

Improving Fifth Wheel Ride Quality with Fifth Wheel To Gooseneck Adapter
For starters, keep in mind that for the best ride quality, ideally you would want to tow a fifth wheel trailer using a fifth wheel hitch. Sacrificing some ride quality is usually the nature of the beast when using a fifth wheel to gooseneck adapter. Having said this, there are some things you will want to check. If you are using the offset adapter like part # CAB-C5GX1216, you will need to make sure that the flange on the top of the adapter is bolted to the bottom of the pin box. Make sure th

Installing Curt Class III Receiver # C13105 on 2013 Toyota Sienna
I spoke with my contact at Curt Manufacturing who tells me that the C13105 hitch has indeed been tested and is a confirmed fit for the 2013 Sienna. You might be referring to the lip at the rear of the panel that the instructions refer to in step # 4 of the instructions. A portion of this lip will indeed need to be trimmed away to install the hitch. The size of the piece that will need to be removed can vary from vehicle to vehicle. You will need to remove any of that lip that is obstructing t

Adjustable Ball Mount and Hitch Balls for Towing the Same Trailer with Different Tow Vehicles
An adjustable ball mount will be perfect for towing the same trailer with different vehicles. If you want to save some money you can get close to that 10 inch rise by using # 80412. It has a max rise of 8-3/8 inches. Then adding a high rise ball like # C40032 for a 1-7/8 inch diameter or # C40034 for a 2 inch diameter would add another 2 inches and get you right where you need to be.

Will Andersen Rapid Camper Leveler and Wheel Chock, Part # AM3011, Work on Tandem Axle Trailer
The Andersen Rapid Camper Leveler, part # AM3011, is intended for use on both single- and multi-axle trailers. I have included a photo of this part with measurements. To determine if there would be space for it, park the trailer on level ground and measure up 4 inches at the center point between the 2 axles. Measure the distance between the tires at this point. Anything less than 14 inches would indicate there probably would be interference. Please note that these levelers are sold as sing

Using Ranch Hitch Gooseneck Adapter # AM3139 to Tow 5th Wheel with 1999 F250 Short Bed
Although having the 5th wheel perfectly level when hitched up on flat ground would be the ideal scenario, using the Ranch Hitch you mentioned, part # AM3139 would only raise the front of your 5th wheel up 1-1/4 inches above level, which is certainly close enough and would not cause any problems. To determine if the adapter will allow you to make 90 degree turns without the trailer corner hitting the rear of your truck cab, you can use the formula shown in the provided diagram. I have also

Can the Andersen Ultimate 5th Wheel Connection AM3225 Install Over a Bed Mat in a 2012 Ford F-350
I spoke with my contact at Andersen about the Ultimate Connection # AM3225. He stated that on a rubber type mat or spray in type of bed liner you can use this adapter. The adapter should not be used with the plastic type of bed liners because it would not be a secure enough connection. For the best results Andersen stated that trimming the bed mat where the adapter would set will provide the best connection. I have included a link to a video review of the adapter for you.

Can Anderson Ranch Hitch 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter # AM3139 Be Used on Multiple Trailers
The Anderson Ranch Hitch 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Coupler Adapter, part # AM3139, can be used on multiple trailers. It does not need to be a permanent mount adapter. It does use a threaded collar to install and remove the adapter to the king pin of the fifth wheel. If the collar will be removed and installed on multiple trailers it is recommended to also purchase the Anderson Slide Hammer, part # AM3103. This slide hammer will help save time in the installation and removal of the threaded collar.

Will Coupler Lock for Ranch Hitch 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter, Part # AM3251, Fit 2-5/16 Ball
This particular coupler lock is intended specifically for Ranch Hitch couplers. Your best bet for a universal-fit coupler lock for a gooseneck hitch is the Master Lock Universal Heavy-Duty Coupler Lock for Gooseneck, Fifth Wheel and Lunette Ring Trailers, part # 2989AT. This product can be used for gooseneck, 5th wheel and lunette ring trailers. Overall dimensions are 12-1/4 inches long x 6-1/2 inches wide x 5-1/2 inches tall.

Cable and Handle is Not Working on Ranch Hitch 5th Wheel Trailer to Gooseneck Adapter
The cable on the Ranch Hitch, # AM3100, can be a little tricky, especially when the bracket is not mounted. Some common issues are that it may appear to be in the unlocked position but it may not actually be. Moving the handle back and forth usually helps. Sometimes it has to be pushed in or pulled out all the way before it will go back the other way. On the hitch part itself you can try giving the mechanism inside that actually moves to secure the ball a little persuasion while somehow else

Comparison of Andersen Mud Flap Kit # AM3031 and Blue Ox Mud Flap System # BXR3001
The Andersen Mega Mud Flap Kit, part # AM3031, and the Blue Ox Sport Guard Mud Flap System, part # BXR3001, are both similar mud flap kits to protect your trailer from flying debris. The size of the mud flaps on both kits are 24 inches x 24 inches and the overall length is about the same (76 inches vs 77 inches). Both mud flap kits are good choices, but if I had to choose one over the other I would edge towards the Blue Ox part number. The part that slides over the 2-inch hitch on the Blue O

5th Wheel Trailer to Gooseneck hitch Adapter for a 2001 Ford F-250 and a 2006 Alumiscape Trailer
If you have the 6-1/2 foot bed, I recommend using the Anderson Ultimate 5th wheel connection, # AM3225. This unit has a 5-1/4 inch offset measured from the center of the ball in your truck to the center of the top ball on the unit. Measure from the center of the ball in your truck to the back of the truck cab, not the front of the bed. Then add the 5-1/4 inches. Then measure the width of the 5th wheel trailer overhang and dived by 2. The cab to ball measurement plus the offset needs to be at

What are the Base Measurements of the Andersen Ultimate 5th Wheel Connection
I spoke to my contact at Rapid Hitch and he informed me that the Andersen Ultimate 5th Wheel Connection # AM3225 that you referenced has base measurements of 36 inches in length (distance from front to back of your truck bed) and width of 30 inches. This product will allow you to tow a fifth wheel trailer with a gooseneck hitch, but it does not actually put a fifth wheel head on your gooseneck ball. For that you should check out the Hi-Rise Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter # 9480.

What you will do is put the wedge end of the larger piece under the front of the front tire and pull the trailer up on it. We have several different leveling items, see link, that might work for you.

Offset of Andersen Ultimate 5th Wheel Connection # AM3225
According to my contact at Andersen, the offset is 5-1/4 inches. This is the only amount of offset offered. My contact tells me that the Ultimate Connection will work on any short bed (6 foot or longer) pickup unless the fifth wheel has a super-extended pin box. If this is the case, the coupler can be flipped 180 degrees so that the king pin leads the gooseneck ball, which will allow the pin box to clear the tailgate. Among the many advantages of the Ultimate Connection is the relative lig

Removing the Ranch Hitch Adapter # AM3100 From a 5th Wheel Trailer King Pin
Along with the flange bolts, the Ranch Hitch Adapter, # AM3100, should also be screwed onto the king pin with a collar system, see attached photo. Once the bolts are removed from the trailer pin box, you will need the Spanner Wrench for Ranch Hitch Coupler Adapters, # AM3104, and a 4 foot cheater pipe, along with two full grown men to release the the adapter from the threaded collar. Initial tightening is done at 1200 foot pounds of torque, or as much torque as two men can generate. Once the

Are Safety Chains Required with Anderson Ultimate Hitch
Although safety chains are not specifically required to use the Andersen Ultimate 5th Wheel Connection # AM3225 we would still recommend you use them. Your trailer should have chains on it and the gooseneck hitch should have safety loops. You will want to make sure that the safety chains are routed in a way that they will not bind up with the # AM3225 when turning. Check out the review video for this product that I attached also.

Will the 8 Inch Offset on the Ranch Hitch Adapter be Enough for a Short Bed 2000 Dodge Ram 2500
The Ranch Hitch Offset Gooseneck Coupler Adapter, # AM3139, is designed to give you 8 inches of additional clearance between your fifth wheel trailer and the back of your truck bed tail gate. This adapter will also allow you to make a sharper turn, however, it is not designed to prevent contact between your trailer and the cab of your truck.

How to Remove the Ranch Hitch Adapter From a 5th Wheel Trailer King Pin

Fifth Wheel Trailer Bounce When Towing with a 2002 Chevrolet 2500 HD and Gooseneck Hitch
Trailer bouncing and rough rides are common complaints among customers that are towing their fifth wheel trailer with a gooseneck hitch because the gooseneck adapters like part # AM3100. Gooseneck adapters create extra distance between the king pin and trailer hitch and this extra distance creates torque on the trailer frame which creates the chucking and bouncing that you are referring to.
