I hope this works, i guess if they arent clickable you can copy and paste?
Okay, first off I'm definitely not the weight police but I have to ask do you know what your rear axle weight is with the truck by itself? I don't know what tools you have inside the boxes but with the compressor I'm assuming you carry some. A fifthwheel with any size to it is going to make you really heavy. If I had to guess you probably already weigh 5000+ on your rear axle before you hook to anything. This picture is my service truck and sitting by itself with no trailer weighs around 8700#+- on the rear axle. I have had it weigh over 9000 at times.
The hose reel will probably be a problem when making tight turns but that is moveable if need be. If you are going to pull a 5th wheel you will need to get a pinbox that pivots like a Sidewinder. You can not use a pivoting pin box with a B&W Companion hitch.
