• Reese Goosebox And Puck Hitch Ball Kit Needed For a Gran Design Reflection And Ram 3500 With Pucks
  Hey Brian, Based on the numbers you provided your trailer has a 1621 pin box bolt pattern and would need the Reese Goose Box 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Air Ride Coupler Adapter # RP94716. Since you have the factory puck system I recommend the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit for Ram Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNXA2062. The locking handle for this ball makes it drastically easier to get your hitch ball out, unlike others that have a latch built into the ball that can get broken just...

• Can I Use a Convert-A-Ball Gooseneck Adapter on a Curt Helux Shock-Absorbing 5th Wheel Pin Box?
  Hey Crystal, that's going to be a no. Curt has said their Helux Shock-Absorbing 5th Wheel Pin Box like item # C83RJ is not compatible with gooseneck adapters like the Convert-A-Ball item # CAB-C5G. Their reason being it puts additional stress on the 5th wheel trailer's frame and using an adapter will void the frame warranty. I know this is probably inconvenient but if you're swapping over to a Gen-Y gooseneck adapter like item # GY33GR the best way is to do it at the location you pick...

• Recommended B&W Gooseneck Ball and Safety Chain Kit for a 2026 Ram 2500 w/the Factory Puck System
  There sure is Boyd and congrats on the truck. The diameter of the pucks are different on the Ram factory puck system than other manufacturer's like Ford and GM. The locking mechanism will not engage properly for the gooseneck ball either. You run the risk of the Ford/GM one breaking free while towing your trailer. The B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit item # BWGNXA2062 is what you'll need for your new 2026 Ram 2500. This kit includes a 2-5/16" gooseneck ball, two safety chain loops, and a...

• Overall Hitch Ball Height for B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit on a 2024 Ram 3500
  Hey David, thanks for reaching out! The gooseneck ball in the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit # BWGNXA2062 has an 8-1/2" overall height, which you can see in the attached photo.

• What Part of the Gooseneck Ball Does Gooseneck Hitch Attach to
  The latching mechanism of your gooseneck trailer coupler needs to wrap around the neck of the hitch ball and does not latch to the top of the ball your like your picture and description implies. You would not be safe to continue to tow like this as a big enough bump could send your trailer into your truck or into path of other motorists. You need the latch to clamp around the neck of the ball so that in the event of a big bump it's held tight enough to the ball it won't jump off.

• How to Loosen a Stuck Gooseneck Hitch Ball?
  Hey John. You can wiggle the gooseneck ball back and forth or lightly tap it with a hammer to see if that loosens it up. If you can crawl under your truck and see the bottom of it you can tap it out with a piece of metal or rebar. What kind of gooseneck hitch is it and what year, make, and model is your truck?

• Hitch Recommendation for Towing 2026 Alliance Avenue 32RLD with 2024 Ram 3500
  Hey Jeffrey, I would be glad to help you pick out the best fifth wheel hitch for your 2024 Ram 3500 with the OEM pucks! So most of the time if the truck is a short bed like yours a slider fifth wheel hitch is needed to allow for better turning clearance without the trailer hitting the cab of the truck around corners but on newer 5th wheel campers like your 2026 Alliance Avenue 32RLS they are making the noses tapered and putting extended pin boxes on them which allows for not needing a slider...

• 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...

• Whats The Minimum Bed Rail Clearance Needed For A Gooseneck/5TH Wheel Trailer with a 2021 Ram 3500?
  I recommend at least 6" of clearance from the top of your bed rails on your 2021 Ram 3500 to the underbelly of your gooseneck or 5th wheel trailer. If using a gooseneck trailer and if you have the factory in bed prep/puck system there are different gooseneck balls available with different heights. The Curt Ball and Safety Chain Loops Kit # C60618 has a ball height of 4" from the top of the ball to the flange that sits on the in bed hitch. The B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit # BWGNXA2062...

• Fifth Wheel Hitch for 2019 Ram 3500 with Factory Rail Kit that Also Tows Gooseneck Trailer
  Since none of the gooseneck to fifth wheel adapters have any offset to help with short bed truck turning clearance your best option will be a slider hitch that fits the factory rail kit of your 2019 Ram 3500 like the B and W Companion Slider part # BWRVK3670. This will fit your factory rail kit and once removed will allow you to use the gooseneck hitch your truck bed has as well.

• Gooseneck Hitch Ball For 2014 Ram 2500 With OEM Prep Package
  Hi Michael, If your 2014 Ram 2500 already has the OEM 5th wheel/gooseneck prep package, you wouldn't use the Center Section for B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck # BW93FR because everything is already set up and ready to go.

• Do I Need Offset Gooseneck Ball For 2019 Ram 3500 Long Bed?
  Hey Tim, thanks for reaching out. Generally, with long bed trucks like your Ram 3500, turning clearance will not be an issue, so the offset ball would not be needed. If you want to be 100% sure, you can use the following formula to determine your turning clearance: (A + B) - C = Clearance A = Distance from the fifth wheel jaw center to the truck cab B = Offset used C = Width of the nose of the trailer divided by 2 You most likely will need a standard ball instead of the offset ball....

• What Gooseneck Ball To Use With 2024 Ram 3500 With OEM Puck System
  Hey Don, thanks for reaching out. We do have a gooseneck ball that will work with the OEM system in your 2024 Ram 2500, but the Remov-a-Ball Gooseneck Hitch Ball # 5973 you mentioned will not work with that.
