I do have options for you but you'll need to box the frame in where the bracket sit on an i-beam. There's really no way around this but the process is simple, find a piece of metal that fits inside the channels and weld them in place on the inside and outside of both sides where the frame brackets sit. I recommend the Curt TruTrack Weight Distribution System part # C17500 which is one of the best bang for your buck options with built-in sway control. It's only compatible with frames up to 6" tall out of the box so you'll also need the Frame Brackets for Curt TruTrack Weight Distribution System part # C17515. If you need a different capacity, browse the list below.
