• How to Measure 5th Wheel Hitch Height for a 2023 GMC Sierra 3500 W/ a Short Bed
  Ok so in order to determine the correct height setting for your 5th wheel and your GMC Sierra 3500, you'd need to level your setup and measure from the ground to the bottom of the pin box and choose a height setting that gives you the most level ride (17" - 19" for the B&W Companion # BWRVK3400-5W you're looking at). Keep in mind that we recommend having at least 5-6" of space between the bed rails and your truck/trailer to make sure you don't have any contact between the two. Since...

  Hello Rege, thanks for reaching out. It sounds like you are definitely on the right track with your thinking and with your assessment and comparisons of the products you mentioned.

• Will 2024 GMC Sierra 3500 Short Bed Work With Gen-Y Hitch 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box
  Since you're talking about an offset ball and don't want a slider it sounds like you have the 2024 Sierra 3500 short bed. Even with the offset you aren't going to be able to make a full 90 degree turn. I'm also not sure what your truck setup is like. Assuming you have the prep package you could use a 5" offset ball with the Gen-Y # GY55XR to get the best clearance. To truly find how much clearance you will have you can use the formula below: (A + B) - C = Clearance A = Distance from center...

• Recommended Offset Gooseneck Ball for a 2024 GMC Sierra 3500 w/ the Factory Puck System
  You're welcome Mike! The Reese Goose Box item # RP85FR is not going to help you with your turning clearance. Since your Sierra has the shorter 6-3/4' bed and the puck system, I highly recommend using the Gen-Y Hitch Gooseneck Trailer Hitch item # GY55XR you referenced.

• Troubleshooting the Gen-Y Hitch Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for GM OEM Puck Systems
  Welcome back! If you're not seeing any visual defects in the gooseneck ball portion of the Gen-Y Gooseneck Hitch item # GY55XR then it just needs to be broken in. It'll loosen up once this happens and you won't have to worry about it getting stuck. It does require lubrication though so I would throw some white lithium grease like item # L11354 into the gooseneck hole. Additionally, if there is excess paint in your Silverado's gooseneck hole you'll want to clean all of that off. The tolerances...

  We do have a potential option for you, but we do not offer a direct replacement for the Lippert Trailair Turning Point Pin Box.

• Which Gen-Y Fifth Wheel to Gooseneck Adapter Fits 2022 Montana 3121RL
  Hey Robert, thanks for all of the info from your 2022 Montana 3121RL Legacy. With that we can verify that the pin box you have is the Lippert 1116 style which Gen-Y part # GY73FR you referenced is designed to fit in place of so this will fit and work great for you.
