The 5” offset ball did not fit my 2016 Ram 2500 so I had to send it back. I hope it will not be necessary when my gen-y hitch arrives.



by:

It was almost terrible, but ended up great. I Georgia company much more on how they conduct themselves when things don't quite go right rather than when they go perfectly. It's easy to look like a rockstar when everything is perfect, but it is much harder to be a quality company when things don't go your way. This time around I was accidentally shipped the wrong part for an upcoming trip in a couple of days, I was able to get a hold of my original sales representative Cassandra and she was able to identify and rectify the issue and time for a very important cross country trip. Her courtesy and professionalism throughout the entire experience was exemplary and has earned this company a loyal customer. I will certainly buy more equipment especially from Cassandra she did an excellent job.

Just as pictured. It fits the Draw-Tite GN on my 2011 Silverado 2500 HD perfectly! It is a big heavy-duty item and must weigh about 10#. The weld around the ball is nicely done.

This is a great product and really helps in tight turns. It is very well made and all that needs to be done is keep the ball lubricated. We are pulling a 26 3-horse trailer. No evidence of any corrosion.

Great product works very well and gets the job done thanks again.

The offset ball works great and gives me plenty of room to move my camper around. The shorter bed on the newer trucks don't give much room for turning, but with the offset ball I haven't had any issues yet



by:

Good product. Would be nice if the hitch plate kit had the option to include this ball. b/c now I have the straight ball that I don't use that came with the system.

It works great now my camper is not right at my back window. But I gave it 3 stars because I still have to remove my toolbox on my 2012 F150 Supercrew.

i just want to say that the lady that answered my phone call was the most friendly and helpful person. The product that she helped me get i liked better than the one that i had originally ordered. The gooseneck hitch was easy to install and works great.

  • Gen-Y 5th Wheel To Gooseneck Pin Box For A 2023 Grand Design Reflection 341RDS
    Hi Vince, Gen-Y switched production to the newer Snap Latch in December 2023 so anything manufactured from January 2024 and forward would come with the new latch. This is a direct-ship item so you'd be getting it directly from the factory, which would lead to a greater chance that you'll get the Snap Latch since we almost a few months into the year. To determine if this is the correct fit for your Reflection you'll need to determine the bolt pattern for the trailer as well as the fully...

  • Gen-Y 5th Wheel To Gooseneck Pin Box Compatibility With A Rhino Box Pin Box
    Hey John, The Gen-Y Hitch 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box # GY98GR has a matching bolt pattern to your Rhino Box pin box. You will want to check your 5th wheel's pin weight to ensure the 3.5K model is going to be the right capacity though. With a 6.5' bed you're not going to be able to make a 90 degree turn unless your trailer has a really tapered nose. You can, however, use an offset ball to help provide more turning clearance though. These all have specific fits to the gooseneck hitch...

  • Can I Use an Offset Ball With Ford Factory Prep and Reese Goose Box
    It is not recommended to use the Reese Goose Box 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Air Ride Coupler Adapter with a short bed truck because of turning clearance. It does not provide any turning clearance like a rotating pin box would, for example the Reese Side Winder. The 5" Offset Ball for Hide-A-Goose Gooseneck Trailer Hitches part # 19308 is designed only for the Bulldog, Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch, and Reese Hide-A-Goose gooseneck trailer hitches only so it will not fit your factory prep package...

  • Recommended Replacement Hitch Ball For Hide-A-Goose Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch
    The ball that is included with the Hide-A-Goose Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch, part # 9465-36, is a 2-5/16 inch diameter ball. If you need a 2-5/16 inch replacement we have 3 to choose from. First, we offer part # 19309. We also carry part # 19306, that has a 1 inch rise and the Reese Gooseneck Hitch Ball, part # 19308, that has a 5 inch offset for your hitch. We also offer one hitch ball that has a 3 inch diameter that is designed to fit your hitch. It is part # 19307.

  • Does 5" Gooseneck Offset Move Pin Weight Further Back on Truck
    The pin weight will still be focused on the connection point, so if you're using a 5" offset like the Draw-Tite # 19308 for a Hide-A-Goose the weight will still be at the center of the hitch.

  • Hitch Ball to Fit 2020 GMC Sierra 3500 HD
    The 5" Offset Ball # 19308 is specifically designed for Hide-A-Goose gooseneck trailer hitches that have a pin to go through the shank. Currently the only gooseneck hitch ball that is compatible with your 2020 GMC Sierra 3500 is the B&W # BWGNXA2061 which uses ball bearings to secure the hitch ball to your OEM puck system. In the event that you don't have the factory puck system on your Sierra 3500 you can install the B&W Gooseneck Hitch # BWGNRK1020 and use their 4" Offset Ball # BWGNXA4085.

  • Will The Reese Goose Box Impede Turning Radius In My Short Bed Truck.
    Yes you can use The Reese Goose Box 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Air Ride Coupler Adapter - Lippert 1621 and 0719 - 20,000 lbs # RP85FR with your 2019 F350 SRW. The Reese Goose box will not provide any additional clearance for short bed trucks. To get some some extra room I recommend to use the Adapter Rails for Curt 5th Wheel Hitch - Ford and Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package Item # C88KR, with the Curt Above-Bed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for Fifth Wheel Rails - 3" Offset - 25,000 lbs Item # 16055....

  • Will Handling of Gooseneck Trailer Worsen Using Offset Ball
    I spoke with my contact at Draw-Tite and he said using an offset ball will not significantly increase trailer sway on a gooseneck trailer. If you are experiencing sway, the best defense is proper trailer loading. If you can load your trailer so that the tongue weight is between 10 and 15 percent of the total trailer weight you will reduce sway as much as possible. Also too much weight forward is very hard on the vehicle and too little weight forward is hard on the trailer, especially the...

  • Location of Gooseneck Ball for Draw-Tite Hide-A-Goose # 9465-37 on 2013 Ford F-150 Short Bed
    The 1/4 inch hole for the gooseneck ball will be drilled 45-3/4 inches from the rear of the bed on your 2013 Ford F-150 with the 5-1/2 foot bed when installing the Draw-Tite Hide-A-Goose # 9465-37. You can take a quick measurement from this point on your bed up to the back of the cab to see how close this will be to the cab. On a short bed like yours I do recommend adding an offset ball like the Draw-Tite # 19308 that will give you 5 inches of additional cab clearance.

    It sounds to me like you have a 5th wheel to gooseneck adapter like the Ranch Hitch Universal 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Coupler Adapter part # AM3100 already installed on your 5th wheel trailer. To answer your question, yes, a 5th wheel to gooseneck adapter is compatible with an offset gooseneck hitch ball. It is important to not that an offset gooseneck adapter, such as part # AM3139, should not be used with an offset gooseneck ball. However, as gooseneck hitch balls are specific to the...

There a few compatible offset balls for your B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch, depending on the specific model that you have. To ensure you get the correct one, you just want to take a measurement from the locking pin hole to the bottom of the square base on your hitch ball.

  • Will Replacing Trailer Pin Box To Goose Box Allow 2008 Dodge Ram 3500 Short Bed To Make Sharp Turns
    You can replace the king pin on your fifth wheel trailer with a Goose Box. To find the right replacement you need to know what pin box is currently installed. For example, if you have a Lippert 1621 pin box you would replace it with part # RP85FR. Installing a Goose Box does not offer additional clearance for short bed trucks above what the stock pin box would offer. To get extra clearance you would need to use an offset gooseneck ball, if available for the gooseneck trailer hitch you...

  • Gooseneck Offset Needed for Short Bed Pickup
    If you have a gooseneck trailer then we do have an option for your trailer side with the B&W Extend-A-Goose Gooseneck Coupler # BWTEXA4200. It has a 10" offset and has an outer diameter of 4". For something that site between the hitch and the trailer, like part # 19308, I would need to know what gooseneck hitch you have on your pickup. These are hitch specific so only certain ones will fit with your towing setup. Let me know what you have and I can see if we have anything for you.

  • Will Installing Reese Goose Box Allow for Turning Clearance with Short Bed Truck
    The Reese Goose Box # RP85FR referenced in your question, which is designed to replace the Lippert 1621, 1621HD and 0719 pin boxes, will not provide any additional clearance for short bed trucks above what the factory pin box offers. With the Goose Box installed, you will likely still have trouble making tight turns with your short bed F-350, but there is a formula that can help you confirm this. To find out if your truck will have enough clearance to make tight turns, you will simply...

    The Draw Tite Gooseneck Hitch part # 9465-37 that you referenced is confirmed to work on your 2011 Ford F150 with a 5-1/2 foot bed. The review you read about the bed being raised 1.5 inches meant that he raised the bed a little bit to install the hitch. This hitch does not permanently raise the bed of your truck at all. For additional clearance for turning you may also be interested in the offset gooseneck ball part # 19308.

  • How to Determine if a Gooseneck Trailer Will Clear Cab When Making Tight Turns
    You should have enough clearance, but here is the formula you can use to determine if you have enough clearance. You will need to know the width of the nose of your trailer as well. (A + B) - C = Clearance A = Distance from the gooseneck ball to the truck cab B = Offset used, like if you used a Offset Extension Ball # 19308 C = Width of the nose of the trailer divided by 2.

The offset adjustment holes accommodate outer tubes with pins in different positions. This coupler offers a 6K vertical load limit and a 24K trailer weight rating. This fits a 2-5/16-inch ball.

For your Curt Double-Lock, you'll want to use the Curt 4" Offset Ball for Double-Lock Gooseneck Hitch # C602. You'll notice this one has a 4" offset, but that's because they don't offer a 5" offset version, so this is the best we can do.
