The B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch w/ Custom Installation Kit - 30,000 lbs
Item # BWGNRK1110 is only for overload springs and the # BWGNRK1100 is only a fit without overload springs. With either of these hitches you will lower your exhaust (not remove) to install the hitch and if you have a powerstroke diesel you will put a 1/4 inch shim in the bracket prior to reattaching the brackets that hold it in place. There will not be any major change in your exhaust brackets or location after installation.
