Question:
I have an older Ponderosa gooseneck horse trailer that does not have an adjustable coupler. I bought a new Dodge that is considerably higher than my old Chevrolet and the trailer sits way too high in the front. I measured the existing tube today and it has a 4 1/2 in outside diameter. If I were to cut that existing tube, this inner tube should work for me to get some adjustments, correct ??...It is a 20K coupler that is on there now, just with no vertical adjustment.

Actually you would want to go with a Pro Series Gooseneck Coupler # PS0287820300 instead. This is an adjustable gooseneck coupler that will give you 8 inches of adjustability. This coupler has the same diameter tube as what you have. You would just need to have the old one removed and this one welded in it's place. If in the shortest position of this coupler it would still be too tall in the front you could remove a portion off the top of the coupler so that it would be the correct height. I would recommend you measure twice and cut once!
The Bulldog Coupler part # BD0287690300 is a fixed base and would not give you any adjustability.
