Can you tell me if the Curt 4” offset gooseneck ball works in my factory Ford puck and my Anderson 5w hitch?

Expert Reply:

I may have a solution for you to use your factory gooseneck setup, but there is not an offset gooseneck ball like the Curt 4" Offset Ball for Double-Lock Gooseneck Hitch # C602 designed to fit on the factory Ford prep package. With that said, you can eliminate the Andersen Ultimate # AM3200 and use the Ranch Hitch Universal 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Coupler Adapter w / 8" Offset for Short-Bed Trucks # AM3139; this adapter connects directly to your 5th wheel kingpin and allows you to couple directly to your in bed gooseneck hitch and is a good option to provide some additional clearance when towing a 5th wheel trailer with a short bed truck.

You may also want to add the Slide Hammer for Ranch Hitch 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Coupler Adapter # AM3103 to help ease the installation of the Ranch Hitch.
