Is 6-7" between the Side Toolbox and the neck of the gooseneck too close? Will it work enough for City/Highway driving?

Thanks
Rick

Raise the neck a few inches if you can. It should be fine, but you never know.

A little out of level is fine. Here is where mine sits but I think I am going to raise the neck a little.

Talked to Brett this am. He said if it dropped a seat its REAL loud... and its REAL loud so hopefully things arn't banged up too bad and the valve isnt bent. Now that I think about it, I doubt its the injector tip because tips don't pop when the truck is turned off. Possibly tearing into it this weekend, I'll get some pics up when its apart. My to do list is forever postponed.

Mine also has a 12" I-beam on the neck, most are only 8" or so.

Eric I gotta get my tools from you so I will stop by and give a hand if I have a free day or evening anytime soon.

If I'm not mistaken, I saw that Tuckahoe is having its truck pulls this Saturday(I saw the sign going down to O.C. last weekend). Is that a decent event to go to? I may go down there Sat. depending.

I need a winch for my trailer, looking at something 12,000# or higher with good reviews and CHEAP. Found a 17,500# for $585 shipped but it is a new model this year, although it does come with a three year warranty. Let me know what you have or recommend, budget is $600 or less.
