Offset Coupler Solution for Horse Trailer

Question

Question:

I am interested in the BandW hitch extender for my 2021 Lakota horse trailer. My question is it appears that the adjustment holes are on the side of the inner tube of the extender, but for my horse trailer the bolts that secure the inner tube of the gooseneck are on the front. Is there a different model with front adjustment holes?

I wish we had something that matched what you need but none of the offset gooseneck couplers we offer have forward facing mounting holes. They all have holes that go from the sides.

For a cushioned coupler setup with a 5 inch offset that comes with an outer tube too that you can weld in place of what you have you'd want the part # 325-GH-7072.
