Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Installation - 2008 Chevrolet Silverado

Today on this 2008 Chevrolet Silverado were going to install part number 9465-54. This is a Hide-a-goose hitch. To start off our install we went ahead and removed the two rear wheels to make access to the side brackets a little bit easier. We also lowered the spare tire as well. Starting on the drivers side of our frame, theres a cable bracket which holds the brake line to the inside of the frame rail. Well go ahead and loosen this bracket from the top of the frame rail and then remove it completely from the wiring harness and the brake line.

Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Installation - 2013 Chevrolet Silverado

Today on this 2013 Chevrolet Silverado were going to install part number 9465-56. This is the Hide-A-Goose installation. The first thing were going to do is prepare our truck to install the hitch. First off were going to lower the spare tire out of our way, and were also going to remove the tires and wheels from the rear axle. We dont have to do this part but it makes things easier to see and do and get access to the fasteners. Were also going to loosen up the exhaust.

Chevrolet Silverado Gooseneck Questions and Answers

• Andersen Ultimate 5th Wheel Connection Option for a 2011 Chevy Silverado with Drawtite Gooseneck
  
• I would go with the Andersen Ultimate 5th Wheel Connection # AM3225 to adapt the Fold-Down Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # 8339-4456 that is in your truck bed to a fifth wheel trailer. This product basically just connects to the gooseneck ball and then provides an attachment point for a fifth wheel trailer. Check out the review video I attached for this product.

• Location of Center of Hide-A-Goose Gooseneck Ball on a 2005 Chevy Silverado 1500 Z71
  
• First, on a 2005 Chevy Silverado 1500, you would need to use # 9465-54. The installation kit for the hitch your referenced is not designed for the 1500. For 9465-54 the measurement is 44-3/4 inches from the rear edge of the bed forward. See instructions link. The ball should be centered in most every case either directly above the rear axle or a few inches in front of the rear axle. Any further back than this and the truck will ride high in the front causing steering and braking problems.

• 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.

• Can You Install a Gooseneck Hitch on a Truck with a Body Lift
  
• The problem with putting a gooseneck hitch in a truck with a body lift is that the gooseneck hitch mounts to the frame, and as you know a body lift will lift the body higher off of the frame. Well, a gooseneck hitch installs onto the frame and the ball height is set for vehicles without a body lift. So, if you were to install a hitch on a truck with a body lift the ball will not stick up far enough through the body for a gooseneck coupler to attach to it. With a body lift you will not be a
