Can Andersen Ultimate Be Used With Offset Gooseneck Ball?
Updated 05/07/2025 | Published 02/21/2025 >
Question:
Can I use this offset gooseneck ball with the Anderson Hitch? The offset ball will add additional 4” of clearance and the Anderson Hitch looks like it offsets a bout 3-4” too. I have a short bed and need all the safety/additional clearance for peace of mind to not hit my truck…but… I don’t want to risk safety towing

I have seen conflicted answers on this question. another expert, Mike l said the Anderson can be used with an offset ball, confirmed with Anderson. Your response says it should not. I am trying to figure out if these answers are talking about different things or if I’m misunderstanding something from one of you. Any assistance is appreciated

Do these Anderson hitches work with B&W systems? Also, can I remove the ball from the Anderson hitch and put on a weigh safe ball?
