Question:

How do you combine a Gen-Y Hitch Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # GY43XR with the 7-1/2inch offset of the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter # CAB-C5GX1216 ? As suggested by: You will need the Gen-Y Hitch Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # GY43XR on your 2019 Ford F-350 as you have the factory puck/prep in bed hitch system. The 4inch Offset Ball # BWGNXA4085 you found is only for use in a BandW Turnoverball Gooseneck Trailer Hitch. You can combine the 5inch offset of the Gen-Y above with the 7-1/2inch offset of the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter # CAB-C5GX1216 for a total offset of 12-1/2. With the height of your vet box above your rails you may not be able to make full jackknife turns even with this additional offset. expert reply by: Gregory M

The Gen-Y Hitch Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # GY43XR attaches to the puck system in your truck, while the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter # CAB-C5GX1216 bolts to your kingpin, so they aren't combined. One will be on your truck and the other on the trailer.
