Prior to setting up a gooseneck truck body on your vehicle, it's a good idea to give it one final inspection. Then you can make sure there aren't any structural issues that would negatively impact how this setup process goes for you or a professional contractor that you hire.
If there was an issue like a section having the wrong dimensions, it's a lot easier to address it before the body is applied to your vehicle. You just need to be thorough and follow up with the appropriate adjustments if red flags are spotted during this inspection.
Choose a Reliable Mounting System
You need to make sure the gooseneck truck body is able to remain on your vehicle after it's set up and that will depend on the mounting system that's used. There are a lot of varieties to choose from, but the most important thing to focus on is mounting reliability.
