I wouldn't recommend doing that Jared. I checked the directions for the Curt Double Lock Gooseneck Hitch item # C60720. It says to only do that on the diesel models. I would try again with the c clamp and the bracket. Installing it against the instructions will void any warranty protection.

I have linked a couple of installation videos we did below. Hopefully, these will help you get your gooseneck hitch set up.
