Question:
I Have a ram 2500 that is factory set up with the in goose neck ball. Is there a offset ball that I can use? How would it lock in to the truck since i have a drop in ball?

Hey Jeff, for your Ram 2500 that has the factory gooseneck hitch setup we do have an offset ball that would work great with the Gen-Y part # GY83XR which has a 5 inch offset to help with turning clearance. The engineers for this were pretty clever and they use two of the forward pucks as anchors to prevent the ball from rotating.
