Yessir, they are quite nice. I got mine with release arm and adapter for a ball receiver like yours.

Every time I talk to somebody about hitches I always tell em the same thing. I have two types of customers, those that get the B&W and luv it and those that go cheaper and wish they got the B&W down the road.

The ony drawback is the ball gettin crusted up and stuck in the mount. When it's facin down it can be a buggar sometimes when it's frozen or jammed with hay. I leave the ball in the tool box anymore when I don't want it stickin up in the bed.

Ive got a B&W for my 06 and wouldnt go any different!! for the winter I have taken the ball out of the hitch to keep it from getting frozen in the hitch. Works good and the hole stays clean since any debris falls thru

I have one, have yet to use it but I like it. Several of my family members have them and love them. I thought about getting a different one but I agree with Uncle Bubba, di it right the first time so that you don't have to do it again.

Are they hard to put in. I have been wanting to put one in myself because arround here they want over $800 to install with in bed RV plug. The only thing I worry about is figuring out the exact spot to drill the holes.

Simple stuff. The included instructions walk you right through it. 06 Diesel just took pictures here recently of his install and if you need more help after that let me know and I'll hunt down some notes I've made through the years that make it simple to do by yourself if you don't have a second set of hands.

Agreed, if you have any questions let me know. Here is a link to the pictures of the install. http://s211.photobucket.com/albums/b...SEL/Gooseneck/

One pointer I have to give it make sure that you take your spare out, it is a PITA to work around it. If you have any other questions just PM me or post up, I'll be more than happy to give pointers and ideas.
