I had a B&W Companion that I used in my 2012 GMC 3500 single rear wheel. We had some chucking problems mainly because of the weight of our fifth wheel so I sold the Companion and bought a Trailer Saver BD3 air ride hitch. To make it work with the Turnover ball I bought an X5. It is heavy at 105 lbs and very well built (made in USA). I only used it once for a test run for a few miles trying out the new hitch. The X5 worked just fine. I did have a bit of rocking backing and forth with it but put some shims under one of the rails. That may not have been the fault of the X5. Not sure.
We decided the real cure for our problem was a dually so I have a new GMC on order and decided to return the X5 as I will use a different system with the new truck. The one downside to the X5 was the cross members are raised somewhat and required me to raise the new hitch to higher level, throwing off the level of my trailer a bit. That may not be a factor on regular hitches. The BD3's platform for the air bags hit the cross members so had no choice but to raise it.
