• Measuring for a Gooseneck to 5th Wheel Trailer Adapter
  
• To measure correctly for a Fifth Wheel to Gooseneck Trailer Adapter (see link) you will need to have your vehicle and trailer positioned level. If your truck is at a pitch or parked on a grade, and the trailer is level, the measurement will not be correct and the trailer will not be level when towing. Adding extra inches to an adapter, to clear bed rail mounted accessories, will cause the trailer to be towed out of level and will increase stress on the hitch and the towing vehicle along with neg

• Recommendation for High Capacity 5th Wheel Setup in a 1994 Dodge Ram 2500 Long Bed
  
• I would recommend the Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch, 22,000 lbs, item # RP30033, for a high weight capacity fifth-wheel hitch that can accept a gooseneck hitch like the Curt Spyder Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for Fifth Wheel Rails, item # 16085.

• Recommendation of Gooseneck Adapter Plates or a Gooseneck Hitch for a 2006 GMC Sierra Pickup
  
• If you already have the fifth-wheel rails installed in the bed of your truck then I would go with a Gooseneck Plate so that you do not have to install a new under bed mount system and make new holes in the truck bed. Cost will be less if you use a gooseneck plate also, plus there is the added advantage that if you want to tow a fifth-wheel trailer you will be able to use a fifth-wheel hitch without a gooseneck adapter. A gooseneck to fifth-wheel trailer adapter would be another expense and does

• Choosing Between Gooseneck Hitch or Adapter on Fifth Wheel Rails for 2006 Ford F250
  
• Without knowing which installation kit was used to install the hitch that was on the vehicle previously I cannot say for certain if the holes will line up, but there is a fair chance that they will. I would recommend installing the fifth wheel rails, and using a rail mounted gooseneck ball like the Draw-Tite model, part # 6002 or Curt # 16085. Adapting the fifth wheel rails to accept a gooseneck ball is much simpler and usually less expensive that using an adapter on a gooseneck ball to pull
