If you are still stubborn like me and want to save the $100 there are several different setups that are on the market that will bolt in with considerable aggravation for around $300-500.

Cheapest way out if you don't mind the ball being in your bed all the time is to weld a piece of 1" thick steel plate on top of the chassis rails and just mount the ball directly to that. Of course you can always weld the nut to the bottom of the plate and use a pipe wrench to remove the ball if and when you need to.

Bottom line, there are a hundred ways to do it, and I have never heard of any real disadvantages to any of them. I've had 4 trucks with none of them done the same way, but didn't have any problems with any of them.

I've always been told to put the ball 4 to 6 inches ahead of the centerline of the rear end. Matter of fact, the last hitch I bought and installed had that in the instructions.

Just my $.02!!

Instead, build a crossmember that rests atop the frame rails, and a couple of drop down brackets which can be bolted to drilled holes through the web (side) of the frame.

Since we had a commerical advertisement I'd thought I'd post under Ray's as the entire thread will be deleated to remove the ad. You might want to post a new thread again so that a discussion can continue.

The commerical ad is asking for new dealers to sell his wares and thats all!!!
This website arrives it's income from advertising and contributions fees too give us a website to talk on and one rule of the website is

NO COMMERICAL ADVERTISING in threads.

If he wants to advertise and pay his due then he should go through the proper channels and contact Kim.

It's been that way for the past 5yrs or so I've been using the website. If it gets abused then the website will not exist.

LOL now I see with wide open eyes. I was reffering too ANTHONY TRAN posts that was commerical, not Ray's.

I know Ray would never do anything like that as he's been a great help on the websites for sometime now.

I just figured Kim would boot the thread and didn't want to bury the ANTHONY TRAN post that Kim might miss it. Kim just can't delete the post of ANTHONY TRAN, the whole thread has to go because of the way the website software that links it.

Thats why I suggested Bob repost the thread as this will thread be deleted to remove the ANTHONY TRAN post.
