• How Much Taller is the Curt Multi-Fit Ball Kit than the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit?
  Hey Justin. The Curt Multi-Fit Ball Kit item # C68ZV sits 7-1/4" above the bed when installed. So it's a little bit taller, 1-1/2", than the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit # BWGNXA2061, which sits 5-3/4" above the bed. What kind of truck do you have?

• What Year Did The Chevrolet/GMC OEM Prep/Puck System Change For The Silverado/Sierra HD Trucks?
  Yes, the puck system used on the 2016-2019 Chevy/GMC trucks is different than the pucks used on the 2020 and newer trucks. So you would need a 5th wheel like the B&W Companion # BWRVK3710 for your 2020 GMC Sierra 3500 with an 8' Bed. If you are looking at a Gooseneck Ball # BWGNXA2061 this will fit both the 2016-2019, and newer trucks since the size of the mounts didn't change. It was only their position and spread that changed due to frame changes.

• Can B and W Gooseneck Hitch Ball # BWGNXA2061 be Used with Andersen Ranch Hitch
  Since there isn't a latch on top of the ball of the # BWGNXA2061 you can use it with a fifth wheel to gooseneck adapter like the Andersen Ranch Hitch # AM3100 that you referenced. The other similar options that have the release lever on top of the ball can not be used with the Ranch Hitch.

• How Much Taller is Weigh Safe Safe Load Ball Compared to B&W Ball
  Hi Kelly, nice setup! The Weigh Safe Safe Load Ball # WS74ZR measures 8-3/8" from the base with an overall height of 11". The same measurement on the B&W # BWGNXA2061 is 5-3/4" so it will sit approximately 2-5/8" taller once installed. More than likely that will be enough to get your the clearance you need when parking. Any big trips coming up with your Brinkley?

• Trouble Removing Stuck B&W Gooseneck Hitch Ball and Safety Chain Kit
  It can be difficult to remove the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit for Ford, GM, and Nissan Titan XD Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch part # BWGNXA2061 if it gets stuck. This is why we recommend removing the hitch ball while not in use and applying copious of grease while in use. That said, there are not really any tricks to removing a stuck unit; applying grease, heat, and force are the best way to get a stuck hitch ball out. If the old unit is damaged during removable or becomes inoperable...

• Recommended Gooseneck Hitch for a 2015 Ford F-250 W/ OEM Pucks
  Hey Matthew, that would require the use of two adapters so unfortunately that is not going to be an option. Your best bet in this situation would be to use the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit for Ford, GM, Chevy, and Nissan Titan XD Underbed Gooseneck Hitch # BWGNXA2061. This ball will drop right into your existing pucks, requiring no adapters, and has a beefy 30,000 lb towing capacity. I know it's not what you wanted to do, but in this situation I don't see another way around it. If there...

• Recommended Taller Gooseneck Hitch Ball Compatible with 2018 Ram 3500 Factory Pucks
  You are correct that the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit for Ram Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNXA2062 is taller at 5-3/4 inches above the bed. The hitch ball is only available in the kit as you stated. I reached out to my tech contact at Curt and the kit # C60692 will allow the hitch ball to fit your Ram but the safety chain anchors will not fit your Ram pucks. So what you want is the hitch ball # C60629 (and the Ram safety chain anchors # C60617 which came with your original...

• Recommended Gooseneck Hitch Ball Kit for 2020 Ford F-350 with Factory Puck System
  I recommend using the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit # BWGNXA2061 for the factory puck system on your 2020 Ford F-350 Super Duty. I like this kit of the Curt # C60692 and Reese # RP30137 options because it uses a handle to secure the gooseneck hitch ball instead of a tab on top of the hitch ball which will be constantly rubbing against the gooseneck coupler while you're towing. The B&W option is a little more pricey but it does come with a limited lifetime warranty and is made right here...

• Offset Gooseneck for 2021 Ford F-350 Short Bed With OEM 5TH Wheel Gooseneck Hitch
  The best option for you would be a B&W Extend-A-Goose Gooseneck Coupler # BWTEXA4200. It will give you an extra 10" clearance between your trailer and the cab of your 2021 Ford F-350. This fits standard 4" diameter outer tubes. There are no offset gooseneck balls for any factory in bed towing kits. This is due to the hitch not having a locking pin that would physically prevent the ball from turning. I recommend B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit # BWGNXA2061 as it is one of the simplest to...

• Old Sloppy Gooseneck Hitch In New 2021 GMC Sierra OEM Puck System
  Since you're going from a 2015 aftermarket system to a 2021 OEM System, I would suggest getting new components, which will take care of the slop. Sloppy components will ware away at your new components A LOT faster and that's not what we want. Get the B&W Kit # BWGNXA2061 which will fit nice and tight in your new 2021 GMC Sierra 3500 w/ OEM Prep Package. It comes in an awesome little case so when you're not using it you can store it in your truck and use your bed normally without the ball...

• What Size Ball and Torque Setting Can Be Used With the Curt CrossWing
  Tim, there is not a gooseneck ball height size recommended to use the Curt CrossWing Lightweight 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C92DR, so a 2 5/16" ball # BWGNXA2061 will work fine. Curt specifies that the only thing that needs to happen is that the 20mm carriage bolt must completely protrude through the 20mm flange nut and the 20mm jam nut, and the 14mm hex head cap screws must be allowed to make contact with the gooseneck coupler. If either of these things don't happen, it means that the...

• Correct Gen-Y Gooseneck Pin Box for a Brinkley 5th Wheel Trailer
  Hey Matt, congrats on the new 5th wheel trailer. Do you know what pin box is on the Brinkley Z3100 you're buying? There's quite a few different bolt patterns and there's no database that shows me what pin box is on a trailer. The Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box item # GY48GR you were looking at will only replace a Turning Point pin box. Now those are typically clearly labeled as being a Turning Point. Rhino-Box is another one that's easily identifiable. If...

• Best 2022 Ford F-350 Gooseneck Hitch Ball for Towing with the Anderson Ultimate Hitch
  Thanks for reaching out, Pat! It looks like the problem has more to do with the height of the B&W Hitch Ball Kit # BWGNXA2061 as opposed to the handle getting in the way. The best option for use with the Anderson Ultimate 3320 is the Reese Elite Series Pop-In Ball Kit # RP30137 which uses a standard hitch ball height that's compatible with the Anderson ultimate.

• Difference in Height Between Weight Safe Safe Load and B&W Gooseneck Hitch Balls
  Hey Reuben, thanks for reaching out! The Weigh Safe Safe Load Gooseneck Ball # WS27MR sits 10" tall while the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit # BWGNXA2061 sits 7-1/4" tall. The height measurement is take from the ball bearings to the top of the hitch ball - so you'll get an extra 2-3/4" of height out of the Weigh Safe. Check out the attached photos to see the difference. Are you trying to determine what you need for your gooseneck trailer to sit level?

• Can I Put A B&W Turnover Ball In My 2019 F-350 With The Factory Puck System?
  No, you would not be able to install an aftermarket gooseneck hitch like the # BWGNRK1108 on a truck that already has the factory puck system. Parts of the puck system would obstruct both the frame brackets and crossmembers of the gooseneck hitch. The puck system would have to be completely removed, which in my opinion is not a logical thing to do and would be way more trouble than it is worth. If the factory puck system has a gooseneck ball spot already you can just drop in the B&W gooseneck...

• Is B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit Compatible With Andersen 3220
  Hi Gerald; we have seen complaints in the past that the Andersen won't sit flush when used with the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit # BWGNXA2061. I really like this gooseneck ball but since you're using the Andersen the Reese Elite Series Pop-In Ball Kit # RP30137 is a better option.

• Recommended Gooseneck Ball for a 2020 Ford F-350 w/ a B&W Setup
  Hey Vince! Not sure what you mean by 5th wheel plate, but I have a couple of options to add a gooseneck ball depending on what setup you have in your 2020 Ford F-350. If you have the B&W Turnoverball System item # BWGNRK1116, the correct replacement gooseneck ball would be the item # BWGNXA2000. If you have the B&W Custom 5th Wheel Rails item # BWRVK2402, you'll want the Curt Spyder Gooseneck Trailer Hitch item # C35HR. This adapter connects directly to the rails and provides you with...

• Looking For Gen-Y Goosebox For 2023 Brinkley G3500 Toy Houler
  Hey Mike, thanks for reaching out. We do have the gooseneck ball for the puck system on your 2023 F350. For that the best option is the B&W # BWGNXA2061 which comes with the ball and safety chain loops. As far as your pin box, I can help, but I do not have a way to look up your camper to know exactly what pin box you have currently. RV manufacturers just do not list this kind of info online. There should be a sticker on your pin box that shows the part number/model number/ serial number...

• Looking For Extended Height Gooseneck Ball For Ford Super Duty Pickup
  Hello Mike, thanks for reaching out. What year was your Ford truck made? It has the OEM puck system, correct? If so, we do offer the High-Rise Pop-In Ball for Reese Elite Series Underbed Gooseneck Hitch part # RP19315 which will work with the Ford OEM puck system. That said, the tallest ball we offer for the Ford OEM puck system is the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit part # BWGNXA2061. This is about 3/4" taller than the Reese ball I mentioned.

• Is GMC Prep Package for 2016-2019 The Same for Sierra 2500 and 3500
  Hey Steve! Are you wanting a 5th wheel hitch or gooseneck ball? The puck system for the 2016-2019 Sierra 2500 and 3500 is identical. If you want to use a B&W Companion the correct part would be the # BWRVK3700 or for the slider # BWRVK3770. The same gooseneck ball # BWGNXA2061 will also fit the 2016-2019 models.
