Shoot - the TOP of the gooseneck would be level with the bed. You could put a 2" drop in the reciever hitch and pull your gooseneck though!!!!

Actually the past owner just owned an off-road shop who did tons of trucks just like that. They used them for good advertisement... trust me, you can't miss that thing going down the road. In fact they always washed it at a carwash right down the road from my house, and they literally brought a ladder with them to reach it. This thing is absolutely huge! But it looks like they did a pretty good job with it, seeing they used 2.5 tons and all....

Actually it has wheel brakes, the pinion brake is the emergency brake
