Do they make a 14000lbs. hitch?

What's up guy's. Not sure if this has been covered, I'm sure that it has. I finaly got my dump trailer working . Thanks for all of your help. Just wondering what type of a hitch set up you guy's use. My stock receiver is rated 10,000#. My dump trailer is rated 14000#. What type of receiver do I need? Do I have to get a weight dist. set up? I have been looking at a Titan V receiver rated at 14000# w/ weight dist. Do I need all of this? It look's pretty complicated. I have enough touble trying to line the ball up .

I use a Putnam, same ratings as the Titan. I haven't come close to maxing it yet, but have made some hard tugs pulling people out of the ditch with it. I like it. IMO, if you are pulling more than 12K on the back of the truck, it is time for a gooseneck.
