Hello Steven,
You will want to use a 3 1/2" bit as you need a 3 1/2" hole for the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch w/ Custom Installation Kit - 30,000 lbs # BWGNRK1320. I attached an image where it goes over the size hole needed in the instructions.
Did you already get the hitch, or thinking about installing one?

Hey Steven, did you find the 3 1/2 bit and get the hitch installed? I'd love to hear how it worked out for you, as it could help others looking to install the same hitch.
