Published 02/07/2022

Question:

Hi, Im in the market for something like this product, BandW Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch w/ Custom Installation Kit - 30,000 lbs for my 2008 Chevy 5500. Although I cannot seem to locate a hitch that will fit my application. Any idea if theres a product that will fit my truck? and/or do you guys make custom hitches, if need be? Thanks for your help, I eagerly await your reply.

I have an option for you, but there is not a custom fit Gooseneck Hitch that is confirmed to fit your 2008 Chevy Silverado 5500 as our manufacturers do not fit that size truck.

I recommend using the Curt Gooseneck Flat Plate # C65500. This plate is universal and it's normally placed on top of the flat bed, above the rear axle. You'll need to drill holes through the plate, truck bed and into the truck frame. The manufacturer recommends using (grade 5) 1/2 inch hardware to install the plate.
