Hey Kyle! The Pacbrake Alpha HD Air Bag Suspension Kit #PB22RV installs in the same location as most fifth wheel and gooseneck brackets. I would expect to have to do some drilling to install these with your B&W Turnoverball. Instead, I recommend…

The Dexter 8-427 hub is no longer available. Even looking through Dexter's site the only references to it are replacement bearings. You can use a wheel with a larger pilot hole as long as the wheel attaches to the hub using lug nuts and not…
