Designed especially for your newer GM Heavy Duty, this under-bed gooseneck hitch provides superior towing capability along with a variety of unique features. The included Pop-In ball uses an integrated, easy-to-access lever to activate the ball-bearing locking system, securing the ball in the hitch. Quickly remove the ball using the same lever and get absolute, uninhibited use of your truck bed. Because this hitch installs in Reese's Elite Series under-bed rails, all that you will be left with upon removal of the ball and safety chain loops are the ball hole and the small Power Puck cavities in your truck-bed floor - no rails, no bolts. And the included rails also fit Reese Elite Series and Signature Series fifth-wheel hitches (sold separately) for ultimate towing versatility.

- How Much will Elite Series Under-Bed Gooseneck # RP30158-68 Extend into Bed of 2012 Silverado 3500
- I spoke with my contact at Reese regarding your question. He tells me that housing around the socket for the gooseneck ball will essentially be flush if your bed has a spray-in bed liner. If you do not have a spray-in liner, the housing will extend about 3/16 to 1/4 inch above the bed.
Keep in mind that the pucks for the Elite fifth wheel hitch will extend about 1/2 inch into the bed.

- Fit of Reese Elite Series Under Bed Gooseneck Hitch # RP30158-68 on 2013 Chevy Silverado 3500
- GM stopped using the C/K name after the 2000 model year, so I am assuming you are speaking of a 2013 Silverado 3500 Dually.
According to my contact in the tech services department at Reese, the Elite Series Under-Bed Gooseneck Rail and Hitch Kit you referenced, part # RP30158-68 is indeed compatible with your 2013 Silverado 3500 Series Dually Diesel.
If you do not already have a 7-way connector installed in your truck bed, you can install one using part # PK11893-11932.
