[QUOTE="saltbranch, post: 1370644, member: 13181"] I too think weight is a possible issue as Brute23 points out. The other issue I think you will have even if you use lift blocks is angle departure at bed corners. Put the truck/trailer at a sharp angle like coming out of a Cstore or street with sharp approach angles. I added a 6" tall attachment point on top of my pickup bed rails for a lift pole setup. I have clearance issues with both my new gooseneck flatbed trailer and Featherlite cattle trailer. I have had contact coming out of a convience store and had to back up and basically screw everyone up so i could leave at an angle,same as i drove into the little parking lot. I will have to cut and redesign my attchment point for lift. I have seen some mfg make high clearance necks on flatbeds. Another possible option might be a 5 th wheel setup...i dont know. I think just adding length to an existing GN hitch with out additional bracing might cause leverage issues and cause breakage. [/QUOTE]
