Upgraded my hitch today

Which model Tow Beast (same as Titan) do you have? It should be a five digit part number beginning with the number 4.
I'm going to guess that it is the model that Reese created to match the tow ratings of the F-450 pickup. That is one advantage that trickled down to F-250 and F-350 owners... because unlike the F-450 chassis cab, the F-450 pickup has the same frame as the 250/350... which means that a hitch designed for the F-450 pickup will bolt right up to an F-250/350. Obviously, a beefier hitch cannot change the manufacturer ratings of the chassis, but it can offer a sturdier receiver hitch choice for those already needing to replace a factory hitch.
Thanks for trying to post pictures. What I was interested in was how your second hitch was attached to the frame concurrently with the stock hitch. I've seen plenty of TorkLift Super Hitches with double stacked receivers. But I've NEVER seen two separate receiver hitches bolted up to the same end of the frame on the same truck such that both were attached securely enough to permit the independent or combined use of both hitches. This I gotta see... especially where the side plates mount to the frame. Are they sharing the same frame holes? How are they nested? That's the kind of thing I'm curious about... mounting, fit up, and how they share the same space. Not what can be seen when standing out back, but more what it looks like from laying underneath.
