Thanks for the pictures! It looks like your 2012 GMC Sierra has the B&W Turnover Ball System item # BWGNRK1057. You will need the 4" Offset Ball for B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Trailer Hitches # BWGNXA4085. The 2-5/16" offset ball will give you an additional 4" of clearance when towing your gooseneck trailer.

You can use this with your Super Ride 5th Wheel hitch but since the hitch ball will add height you will need to make adjustments to your coupler accordingly. A better option would be to use the B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider item # BWRVK3400-5W. This sliding hitch is made specifically for your turnover ball system and will give you 12" of travel.

To make towing with a 5th wheel easier I recommend adding the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness w/ 7-Pole Connector - 10' Long item # C56000. This harness puts a 7-way connector in the bed of your truck and allows you to keep the one on your bumper. This makes hooking up to your 5th wheel trailer easier and more convenient.
