I have a F600 with a 14ft Flatbed it overhangs the frame by around 3ft. The frame is about 6in longer than the rear spring hanger. I got behind a older truck the other day that had a hitch that hinged and was held up with chains hanging from the beds runers.I may end up runing the hitch down and back it needs to come down around 14in.
the DOT here would LOVE to get ahold of that!!! lol
This must have worked ok because i remember seeing this kind of hitch before.
I've seen rear end crash protection bumpers installed like that on tilt bed trucks, but never a hitch.
Not only do you have to pull a trailer, and stop a trailer...you have to STEER a trailer. I can't see how the chains could provide side loading
