With the B&W Turnoverball underbed gooseneck trailer hitch you get the best of both worlds. When you go to tow, the Turnoverball creates a sturdy, dependable connection with your gooseneck trailer. And when you're done towing, you can stow the ball upside down in the hitch to get full bed access and a clean appearance.


Easy-to-Remove, Simple-to-Store Hitch Ball

The durable steel hitch ball included with the Turnoverball system secures in the hitch with a sturdy, 5/8" thick steel pin that is incorporated into the end of the operating handle. To lock the ball in place, drop it into the hitch hole in the bed of your truck. Then rotate the handle in your driver's-side wheel well counterclockwise until the latch engages. When the latch is engaged, the spring-loaded pin on the end of the handle will be inserted all the way through the base of the hitch ball, forming a strong, solid connection and ensuring absolute security when you're towing.


B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch Operation

When you're done towing, remove the hitch ball by simply pulling the handle out as far as it will go and then rotating it clockwise until it unlatches. Remove the ball, flip it upside down, and drop it back into the ball hole of the hitch. Then reengage the latch to secure the stowed ball in place.


Unlike typical gooseneck balls - which have round bases - the Turnoverball hitch ball is designed with a square base. This makes latching the ball in the hitch easier because the base won't rotate inside of the hitch like a round base might, so lining the pin up is a snap. The base of the ball also fits tightly within the ball hole during storage. Because only the corners of the base contact the sides of the socket, any dirt or grime that gets into the hitch will fall through the socket, thus helping to prevent any buildup that could cause the ball to seize up in the hitch.


Simple, Custom Installation

This hitch is custom designed for your vehicle. The included mounting brackets bolt to existing holes in your truck's frame. While some modification is required - you will need to cut a 4" diameter hole in your bed for the hitch ball and drill holes for the built-in safety chain loops - there is no need to weld onto or to drill into your frame.


Once you have the hitch brackets and body installed, set up the operating handle. This handle is designed to be accessed from the rear driver's-side wheel well. On the end of the handle is the heavy-duty steel pin that secures the hitch ball.


B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch Accessories

B&W makes it easy to tow just about anything. With the many adapters and accessories available, the Turnoverball can be made to work with almost any gooseneck trailer. Hitch balls are available that have a built-in rise, an offset, and even a different connection type. Add on the Companion fifth-wheel hitch - which attaches directly to the Turnoverball with no other parts required - and you can tow your fifth-wheel trailer.

  • Best Option Gooseneck Hitch to 5th Wheel Trailer Connection For 2001 Ram 2500 and 2003 Actic Fox
    For your 2001 Ram 2500, the fact that you have the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch w/ Custom Installation Kit - 30,000 lbs # BWGNRK1394 is a great start. This is a great hitch and the Extended Latch Pin Handle for B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Trailer Hitch - 17" # BWGNXA1800 will keep you from getting under the truck to release the hitch ball. For your 5th wheel trailer you do have the option of the Reese Goose Box 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Air Ride Coupler Adapter - Lippert...

    Hey Solon. Sorry, but there's no way to retrofit the B&W Turnoverball System item # BWGNRK1394 in your Dodge Ram to fit a 2008 Silverado 2500. The only solution I have for you is to install the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch item # BWGNRK1067 in your 2008 Chevy Silverado 2500. This kit is custom fit and specifically designed for your truck. It fits both the 6-1/2' bed, 8' bed and the diesel models. What kind of trailer are you pulling? To make towing with a gooseneck...

    Yes, it is Sam. For just the universal brackets you'll need the Reese Universal Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches (No Base Rails) - 10 Bolt item # RP30439. This kit works with the Reese Universal Base Rails item # RP58058. What brand of rails do you have? These kits are hit and miss when it comes to compatibility with different brands. It's best to stay within the same manufacturer if possible. You said rails and gooseneck hitch. If you're looking to install a gooseneck...

  • Looking For Threaded Gooseneck Ball With 2" Shank And Fine Threads
    Hello Major, thanks for reaching out. We only offer two 2-5/16"threaded gooseneck balls with a 2" shank. The Curt # C40088 and the B&W # BWHB94009. Both of these are coarse thread 4-1/2 threads per inch. I am not aware of anything made in this size with a find thread. Any idea what brand the gooseneck hitch is? Or how old it is? You might have a hard time finding a ball (unless you can get one custom made) and in these cases the next step would be to look at replacing the gooseneck...

  • Is Removal Of The Bed Necessary To Install B&W Turnover Ball Gooseneck on 02 Ram 2500 or 09 Ram 3500
    Installation of both the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNRK1394 for your 2002 Ram 2500 and # BWGNRK1308 for your 2009 Ram 3500 Mega Cab short bed will not require the bed to be lifted or disconnected in any way. The instructions for both do mention a lifting device is recommended but this is only for holding the center hitch section under the bed while you bolt it up to the cross rails.

  • B&W Turnoverball Goosneck Hitch to Install in Flatbed Truck
    The B&W Flatbed Adapter # BWRVK3050 will fit into any B&W Turnoverball gooseneck like the # BWGNRK1394. Depending on your truck a better option might be to use the B&W Gooseneck Hitch for Flatbeds # BWGNRK1500. It installs by welding to the underside of your flat bed to give you the gooseneck hitch.

  • Identifying a Gooseneck Hitch and Upgrading to a Turnover Ball on a 2002 Dodge Ram 3500
    Most of the manufacturers put their logo on the bracket you can see inside the wheel well. I have attached a picture of how B&W labels theirs. It being a 2002 Ram I can imagine any sticker or decal long ago wearing off. I suggest getting underneath there with a rag and trying to clean off the steel and see if there are any markings stamped into the side.

    I do have an option for you but there are not any air bag kits that will work with the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch part # BWGNRK1394 on your 1996 Dodge Ram 2500. The next best option to help with towing a heavy trailer would then be with the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System part # TDR3500B which will actually offer more support than air bags.

  • Estimated Professional Installation Time for B&W Gooseneck Trailer Hitch on 1998 Dodge Ram 2500
    First, B and W gooseneck hitch # BWGNRC800 is just the hitch. You will also need an installation kit that fits your 1998 Dodge Ram 2500.

  • Where is Gooseneck Ball Hole Drilled to Install B and W Turnoverball in Bed of 1998 Dodge Ram 1500
    The correct B and W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch for your 1998 Dodge Ram 1500 is the part # BWGNRK1394 and the measurements to use vary depending on your bed length. You'll want the hole centered from left to right but from the rear edge of the truck bed the hold would be 48-3/8 inches if you have a long bed or 44-3/8 inches if you have a short bed. I attached a picture that I took from the install instructions which shows this as well.

  • Recommended Gooseneck Hitch For 1997 Dodge Ram 2500 W/ 8 Bed
    The difference between a 5th wheel hitch and gooseneck hitch is a 5th wheel hitch is typically attached to above bed rails, and uses an actual hitch to connect to the king pin of a 5th wheel trailer, where a gooseneck hitch typically has a 2-5/16" ball that gets connect to the coupler on your gooseneck trailer. If you are planning on only towing your gooseneck trailer with your 1997 Ram 2500 with an 8' bed and have no plans on towing a 5th wheel trailer regularly the B&W Turnoverball Underbed...

    I have a way for you to use suspension enhancement with the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNRK1394 installed on your 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 pickup but unfortunately none of the air bag kits that fit your truck are compatible with an in-bed hitch so there wouldn't be any brackets that fit.

    I have a great suspension enhancement solution for your 2001 Dodge Ram 3500 that has a B and W Turnoverball gooseneck hitch # BWGNRK1394 installed but none of the air bag kits fit since the brackets interfere with the gooseneck hitch.

The Timbren hollow rubber springs have a capacity rating of 6,000lbs to help reduce sag and stabilize your Ram under load. This will not increase your towing or payload capacity.

    According to Firestone, the Ride Rite Air Spring Kits compatible with your truck would indeed prevent you from installing a fifth wheel or gooseneck hitch. The air spring assemblies install on the outboard side of the side of the truck frame, as would the frame mounting brackets for a gooseneck or fifth wheel hitch. Your best bet would be to replace your existing air bags with a solution that mounts to the bottom of the frame members, replacing the factory bump stop like the Timbren #...

  • Solution for Installing B and W Companion Hitch in Flat Bed Truck with Only Slightly Raised Bed
    Since you have a flat bed that sits a little higher than the gooseneck hitch you'd need is the part # BWGNRK1500 which you'll have to have fabricated to install in bed of your truck. This will allow the hitch to be at the correct height so that you could use a standard Companion B and W Hitch part # BWRVK3500 like you are wanting. If you installed the # BWGNRK1394 it would sit too far below the top of the flat bed for the hitch to fit.
