Thanks Jerred, I changed to maverick because I discovered my Class C on a Sprinter chassis can only tow 4000lbs. The maverick is around 3700. I just got the Maverick yesterday and will be ordering the parts soon. Thanks, Bob

@MaverickT You're welcome and congrats! That makes complete sense. Those Mavericks are super popular for flat towed vehicles. I tried to mix some of the parts you were originally looking at into this new question. I also linked quite a few installation videos below so you can see how these parts get set up. If you have any additional questions just let me know.
