Hitch Question

I had the airbags installed, not to haul heavier loads, but to level the truck while towing.
Can you tell me what 5th wheel hitch you chose? I have a Chevy 1500 6.2, purchasing a Rockwood Ultra Lite.

I have the B&W Companion 3500 5th Wheel hitch. Easy to remove if I need to use the bed without the hitch being in the way.

Well I've been a little inactive around here so this is my first post in a while. But I'm here to announce I went to the dark side (or brightside). Last Thursday I parked my 05 F350 CCDRW in exchange for a Ram Certified loaded 2018 Ram 3500 Limited 6.7 H.O. w/Aisin trans 4x4 3.73 gears with only 13k miles. And so far love it.

Below are pics of both.
