Been there done that and paid the big $$. I have the b&W ball system which is great but the MFG. of the trailer frame is void if you utilize the king pin adapter system due to the leverage and frame cracking which can result. No forums back then to advise me away from that then. So....I abandoned the adapter and since i was already committed to the B & W system, I then purchased the B & W 5th wheel adapter which clamps onto a post which replaces the bed ball. Total cost over $1,100. it all works fine except for excessive cost and moving the heavy adapter with 5 bolts to be tightened to 40lbs and 80lbs each time. This is tuff on the back and storing the adapter unit (being so large and heavy) is an additional issue. I have an almost new king pin adapter available. Consider carefully and good luck.
