Thanks for all of the information! I would be happy to answer those questions for you. I just spoke with my rep at Lippert and your 2022 Keystone Sprinter 35BH has an 1116 pin box. To replace it you will want the Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box item # GY43FR. This pin box has a 21,000 lbs capacity and a 3,500 lbs tongue weight.

The Gen-Y gooseneck pin boxes do not include safety chains. You will want the Safety Chain with 2 Hooks for Gen-Y 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box item # GY49GR. These are 84" long, have a 26,000 lbs capacity, and mount to the side of the Gen-Y pin boxes.

All of the Gen-Y pin boxes fit a 2-5/16" goose ball.

The best gooseneck ball and safety chain kit for your Ram Prep Package is going to be the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit for Ram Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch item # BWGNXA2062. The ball has a 30,000 lbs towing capacity and a handle to provide leverage when removing the greasy ball from the bed of the truck. The safety chain hookups and ball are stainless steel to resist rust. The kit also comes with a nice storage case.
