[QUOTE="Angus Cowman, post: 789067, member: 8829"] I add the pipe for strength so you can have space to bolt the ball to something other than welding the ball and weakening it also you need the pipe so the nut on the kingpin and the nut on the ball don't hit eachother also DO NOT weld the king pin or the ball on you can weld the nuts on to the threaded shanks and you need to weld the nuts to the plates so they can not loosen you are better off not welding on the ball or the kingpin for the channel put the ball about a foot behing the 5th wheel and even with the frame rails and the ball will not be high enough to interfere I am like Jed why not cut the bottom of the hitch off the trailer and use an adjustable hitch becasue more the likely the added height of the semi will make the trailer ride to high in the front and place alot more weight on the trailer if your hitch tube isn't the correct size for the factory made adjustables just buy the latch mechanism and a piece of material that will slide into the existing hitcht tube [/QUOTE]
