Wow - that looks overbuilt to say the least. Could it be returned to stock or is that permanently mounted to the frame?
If I had a chassis cab or flatbed I'd do this in a heartbeat, but I'd have to run without the bumper and/ or bed to get this involved. The truck still has to look somewhat stock to function as a driver unloaded, and I'd like to protect resale by keeping the cutting/ welding/ drilling on the truck frame to a minimum.
There is some text in that thread to explain better, but it is entirely removable via bolts. However it IS welded to the original Reese Tow Beast piece, and that in turn was already chopped to fit with the Kelderman suspension.
Yep it is overbuilt, but I tow up to 10k on the hitch with the camper, and I have already bent a borrowed 42" 2.5 to 2" extension and even a short solid 24" extension. Both times I was likely tongue heavy but I don't want to have that happen again. You never want to weld the frame. But I wouldn't worry about extra bolt holes in a dualy frame anyway....I doubt whoever buys it will care.
