hidden ball hitch
Anybody know of a good company to get a hidden ball hitch for gooseneck trailers for a 2012 f250 diesel fx4 short bed. Im needing the whole mounting kit. Ive already looked under the truck and its got a hole in the middle of the bed for it under the bed liner.
Thanks.
Thanks.

I am personally using the B&W turnover ball with their 5th wheel companion hitch.

B&W turnover ball, look no further.
Been using this hitch for 10 or 12 years, it's pulled some huge loads and continues to do so. I have zero complaints, my best friend liked it so much he has had one in all 6 of his trucks and uses them commercially running far more miles with a trailer than he does without. This hitch has almost become the standard that the others get judged by.

B&W Turnover Ball Issue
On my 2007 F350 Diesel the B&W was there when I purchased the truck.
It has the F X 4 off road package and had standard shocks & 3" lift.
I switched to Rancho 9000 and with about a 1500 Lb load the B&W hitch mount dented the staggered shock on the passengers side. Luckily it didn't puncture the shock but there is a pretty good dent just below where the tube tapers out from the piston shaft.
My fix was to use a 3" cut off wheel on a die grinder and remove about 1/4" of the sharp corner on the frame mount of the B&W bracket.
I don't use the Flip ball hitch so I'm not worried about any minor loss in the mounting strength.
Just for your info.
