B & W Turnover Ball Hitch - Diesel Forum

Has anyone installed the B&W Turnover Ball Hitch with the Companion fifth wheel hitch on 2008 F450 4X4? I though I read somewhere that adjustments may have to be made on the 4X4
Thanks

I put standard fifth wheel hitch rails in my 04 with a turn over ball the additional $700 for the companion hitch is just silly

I have the b&w turn over ball gooseneck hitch and I have 4x4 no problems at all I love it.

Installed it on my 350 4x4 cc love it .I have used Reese and Husky hitches before and love the flat floor.Only thing on the 6.4 there are 2 exhaust brackets that keep the exhaust off the hitch which drops the tip about 1.5/2 inches. The fith wheel hitch is great.I have two (for now) Carriage 5ers.One is 17,000 lbs and the other is 12,000 lbs dry and I feel safe with the set up.

I've got that exact setup, and the only 'mod' I had to do was the exhaust relocation bracket. I've towed my fiver over 1000miles with the companion hitch, and I love it!

I also just installed my B & W hitch over the weekend, no 4 X 4 adjustments needed, just the 2 exhaust brackets to lower. Why couldn't Ford stamp the bolts in from the top of the exhaust bracket that was in front of the hitch?, that thing was a joy to get a socket on. Nice to have a level bed, I've been a Reese Goose/5th wheel person for the last 7 years.
