My Pullrite uses a bracket that requires no drilling. Its a simple bolt on install.

Works well.

Ok....
now I'm worried for other reasons.... my truck has a gooseneck ball that was installed when I got the truck... it's on a plate and bolted THROUGH the frame.... is there something I should be watching for because it's bolted?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the no drill applied to the 3rd gens (before the TSB came out)? 1st & 2nd gens were OK?

There must be hundreds of thousands of 1st and 2nd gen trucks with bolted 5th wheel hitches. Mines bolted and its been there since new. Personally if you can't DRILL a half inch hole in the side of the frame away from the radius I don't think I want the truck.
