  • Comparing 5th Wheel Hitch And Gen-Y Goosebox Options For Pulling A 5th Wheel With 2024 Chevy 2500
    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. For the 5th wheel hitch, the Demco Auto slide # DM29GV and the B&W Companion Slider # BWRVK3775 are the best two options as far as solid, durable USA made hitches. It sounds like you will be towing fairly often, so between those two options, I recommend the Demco. The automatic slider is extremely convenient...

  • Offset Gooseneck Ball For 2024 GMC Sierra 3500 with OEM Prep Package
    Hello Aaron. I have the perfect solution for you, the Gen-Y Hitch Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for GM OEM Puck Systems - 5" Offset - 25,000 lbs # GY55XR. This will bring the ball forward by 5" and should line you up over the axle. After you try out the offset gooseneck ball if you are still seeing some sagging you might want to consider getting some air bags. I am not sure how heavy of a load you are pulling, so I have 2 different options for you: - For 7,500 lbs: Firestone Ride-Rite Red...

  • 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...

  • Recommended 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box for a Trailer w/ a Rhino Box
    Hey Luan, thank you so much for all of the information and pictures. For your 2022 Forestriver Wildcat 302BH, you'll need the Gen-Y Hitch 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box item # GY98GR. This one works best with the capacity of your trailer and fits the Rhino Box bolt pattern. You will also need the Safety Chain with 2 Hooks item # GY49GR. State laws require use of safety chains with a gooseneck hitch and they are not included with the pin box. If your 2021 GMC Sierra 3500 has the factory...

  • Gen-Y Gooseneck and Hitch Ball for 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500
    Hey Greg! I see you already picked up the safety chains # GY49GR, Gen-Y Hitch Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # GY55XR (designed for the short bed), and safety chain loops # C60691. This is everything you need aside from the actual Gen-Y Hitch 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box. I'm happy to help you pick out the right pin box if you're not sure which one fits. All I need is the information off of your pin box sticker. You can add it in the comments below or reply in an email and attach a picture....

  • Will I Have Turning Clearance Issues Using The Gen-Y Gooseneck Pin Box On Short Bed Silverado 2500?
    The best way to prevent any clearance issues with your 2022 KZ Durango Gold G356RLQ and your 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 with 6-1/2' bed and factory puck system is by using the Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch # DM79GV. This hitch slides back and gives you up to 14" of additional clearance when performing a jackknife turn. The Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box # GY38FR measures 16.9" from front mounting holes to center of hitch ball. A regular 1621 pin box this...

The 5" Offset Gen-Y Hitch Gooseneck Trailer Hitch item # GY55XR is designed to work in the 2020 and newer Silverado and Sierra's with the GM factory puck system. It will push the connection point for the gooseball and your cattle trailer back 5" towards your tailgate. This adapter has a 25,000 lbs capacity.

  • 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...

  • Safety Chain Loops for Gen-Y Hitch Offset Gooseneck Trailer Hitch on 2023 GMC Sierra 3500 Short Bed
    You definitely need safety chain loops when using the Gen-Y Hitch Offset Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # GY55XR with the OEM puck system on your short bed 2023 GMC Sierra 3500, and for that I recommend the following: - Curt Safety Chain Loops # C60691 These install in the 2 remaining pucks and give you those connections for a safe towing experience.

  • Option For Replacing The Lippert Trailair Turning Point Pin Box
    We do have a potential option for you, but we do not offer a direct replacement for the Lippert Trailair Turning Point Pin Box. This pin box has a specific bolt pattern that only has one replacement so far, the Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box # GY48GR. Outside of the Gen-Y gooseneck adapter, there is not aftermarket replacement available that will match the Turning Point bolt pattern. This is a gooseneck adapter though, so you'd have to switch out your fifth wheel...

  • Will a Reese Goose Box Work w/ the GEN-Y Goosepuck 5" Offset Ball On a 2022 Sierra 3500 Puck System?
    Yes, it will. The Reese Goose Box item # RP85FR will work with the GEN-Y Goosepuck 5" Offset Ball item # GY55XR on your 2022 GMC Sierra 3500. Since your Sierra has the shorter 6-3/4' bed I recommend using it. I attached a picture below so you can see the offset ball being used. It's got Gen-Y's gooseneck adapter instead of the Reese but it'll give you an idea of how it's set up. If you don't already have them you will also need the Reese Safety Chain Kit item # RP49151 and Safety Chain...

    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.

    Hi Kaitlin, thanks for the question and there is a 5 inch offset that you can use with the factory gooseneck of your 2022 Chevy Silverado 2500. It's from Gen-Y and the correct one will depend on if you have the long, 8' bed or short bed: - Short Bed: Gen-Y Hitch Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for GM OEM Puck Systems - 5" Offset # GY55XR - Long Bed: Gen-Y Hitch Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for GM OEM Puck Systems - 5" Offset # GY73XR These have a 25,000 lb capacity and attach really easily, inserting...

  • 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...

    Hey Donn! I see where it is listed on the Curt site under their notes but I wasn't able to find the actual part on their site or ours. I reached out to Curt directly and found that it is still in the engineering process (as of March 2025). They're planning to release it sometime this year so it is not available yet. It would be nice if they made note of that so customers wouldn't go chasing after it but oh well. If you have an immediate need for an offset gooseneck ball for your prep...

  • 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. I looked up your RV and it has a tapered nose that was designed to help with short bed turning clearance so I do not foresee you needing to use an offset ball if the truck you go with is a short bed.

Since you have a short bed, the only offset gooseneck hitch ball kit that will work is the Gen-Y # GY55XR. This actually offers a 5" offset as opposed to the 4" offset of the Curt kit. The puck pattern for the long and short GM trucks is different in relation to the gooseneck hitch ball hole. Why GM decided to go...
