400SS weight on trailer
#32
The stock hitch definitely has to go. My 419 is not the same weight as your 400 but it is was still over the factory hitch rating.
I installed a CURT mfg 2 1/2" receiver hitch and got a forged draw bar and ball for an 18,000 lb rating. As a "15" model truck you may have the 2 1/2 receiver then you just need the rest of the parts for higher tow rating. My "06" Duramax only had the 2" receiver rated at 12.000 which was a joke for a DRW 3500.
