Question:

if I end up needing a little more height (5th wheel) above my fenders, can you recommend an elevated ball (couple inches). I’m partial to the B&W products, but am open. Thanks!

Yes, B&W does make a taller hitch ball. It is the 1" High-Rise Ball for B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Trailer Hitch item # BWGNXA2050 which is 5-1/16" tall. The ball included with the item # BWGNRK1314 is 4-1/6 tall. This is measured from the bottom of the truck bed. No other manufacturer is compatible with B&W's hitches.

You can also use the B&W Turnoverball with 4" Offset item # BWGNXA4085, which is right at 5-3/4" tall from the base of the truckbed to the top of the ball. This gooseneck ball has a 4" offset, so it will move the hitch ball 4" further away from your truck cab, as well as creating a taller connection.

I have linked a couple of diagrams I made below.
