I actually removed the stock Class 4 after trying to use a WD hitch on my trailer and realizing it doesn't work on a I-Beam trailer. So now I have about 400 lbs of steel in my garage I don't need. Anyone interested? First $150 Takes it! The whole mess, the WD hitch, the 12000 LB Shock absorbing draw bar setup AND the class 4 hitch for a Chevy!

Can you figure out away to box in the outside of the I-beam where the chain hangers for the WD arms would bolt up.  That would seem to me to be the only problem you might run into.  Or maybe go to a local welding or steel shop and get some kind of spacer made up.

They make adapters just for your I-beam Trailer....lemme find a pic and some links....BRB

Back.....

Here they are Tongue Pole Adapter

You're hitch dealer, or local RV store should be able to dig up something for you on these.

*edit*

If you still want to sell it, shoot me a PM with your address so i can get a shipping quote. I could use a WDH on my S10. The little 18.5 isn't terribly heavy, but the springs on the truck aren't terribly strong either, and I could use the hitch when pulling my Xtreme on the car trailer.....however I'd much rather see you get some use out of your $400 of steel than sell it to me!
