Most Popular Connects to Gooseneck Ball for 1996 Dodge Ram Pickup

The hitch is easy to ensemble. Great design. Pulled my trailer great! But when I hooked up the second time to the trailer the roll pin that goes in the locking bar fell out. Wasn't a really big deal. But if I hadn't had any tools and a 1/4" bolt with a lock nut I probably won't have been able to hook up. Maybe they could change that. The best adapter from gooseneck to fifth wheel.But all in all very happy with it.

The hitch is much heaver and better built than it appears in the online photo. It was easy to install over my gooseneck ball took less than 20 min. rides nice with almost no noise. The set up also has about 3" of offset this was nice as I pull with a 6.5 bed ram 2500.

Put this setup on a 2021 pj flatbed with a recessed gooseneck (believe it's a b&m 30k kit) in it from the factory. The top of the ball is about 1/8"-3/16" lower than the deck. Took a few tries to make everything fit along with some modifications to the set screws. I had to trim off about 1/4" on the bottom set screw to clear my opening. Also I can't set the 5th wheel height to the lowest setting because the upright casting sticks out the bottom of the frame. One could trim that off as well but then you lose the hole for the highest setting. Gonna run in the middle setting and if I have to, I'll trim off the excess to make it sit lower. Bed is on a 2014 Ram 4500. Top of bed to ground with no load is 41.5" at the rear axle. Overall looks like it will work for what I'm doing.
