• Gooseneck Trailer Coupler Inner Tube Only with 4 Inch Diameter
  The 4-1/2 inch diameter is correct. The gooseneck coupler # BD0287690300 is not designed to fit inside of another tube because it is meant to be welded directly to a trailer. So it was built with the 4-1/2 inch diameter all the way down. For a 20K inner tube only that does fit inside another tube and has a 4 inch diameter we have # BD0287610300 and # BD1289170300. We also have other capacities, each with a 4 inch diameter outer tube that I have linked for you. The only one in the list...

• Recommended Replacement Coupler for Gooseneck Trailer Currently Compatible with 2 Inch Ball
  There is not a 2 inch hitch ball option for a factory gooseneck system.
