Ford Super Duty 5th/GN frame reinforcement

I want to tow a 5th with my F350 but it does not have the factory installed 5th and Gooseneck tow kit on the frame.  Looking for some suggestions on readily available aftermarket reinforcing hardware.  Thank you in advance.

  • you can get ford to put them on.  I bought the kit from an after market but found the way the bed bolts were installed I was just breaking tools, so I paid ford to install it.  if you can get yout bedbolts out it is a very easy install.

      Hello and thanks for the reply. When you speak of removing bed bolts are you just referring to removing all or just the 4 (typically) that fasten the hitch?
