Gooseneck or stick with bumper pull ?

What kind of hitch do you use for that much weight? That seems kinda heavy for a pick up?

I have the 2.5" Reese style. It's rated for 18,000#

Well you have been lucky is all . The pin and bar was standard products anyone could buy . And u just stated that its dangerous to pull bp trailers with them weights because your over loading the tongue weight . So over weighting the tongue weight makes it dangerous . Sorry you don't see your dangerous even though you stated ya was . O and you need to get and pull more . Your way behind my pull'n miles . Lol Sent from my iPhone 5 using TractorByNet

No I admitted I knowingly overloaded my truck and hitch and paid for it.

Call eTrailer.com and ask them what they recommend. Faster solution, without insults if you opt for a bp. It will also save posters in this thread the time they'd waste looking for pictures or videos of breaking a GN hitch with a tack hammer.

He already has the BP trailer never said they where bad other than over loading . Which he isn't doing . Never stated he was . He wants more room . And he said he could buy the GN and still have the BP .

Heck I have 6 bumper pulls my self . 4 are under 16' and two are 16' but I would never put 10,000 pounds on them . I would use one of the 9 GNs I have .

You could have easily stood your ramps up strait and had more room . Sorry you didn't know that you could do that . Or could easy use a slide in ramp with a dove . Then you could use the whole length of the trailer . So the OP has a 18" bumper pull and is thinking 25 dove that he could easily use the whole length like I just stated . So I see 7' of useable room difference . He was looking for more room not weight carrying . Your the one that has a weight problem . Lol Sent from my iPhone 5 using TractorByNet

No, the problem is the dove tail. Essentially wasted space unless loading hay or pallets when the ramps are folded flat.

Give me a flat bed low boy any day.

Don't fold the ramps up like I said and u can still haul stuff on the dove even though its angled . Really easy to do they make straps and chain to keep stuff from moving . Lol

That wasted space is perfect for setting the boom and bucket of a backhoe down on...
