Expert Reply:
The only option to get more clearance with the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch item # BWGNRK1020 and an Anderson Ultimate Hitch, is to install the 4" Offset Ball item # BWGNXA4085. This 4" Offset Ball, has a 20,000 lbs capacity, and moves the mounting point back towards your tailgate 4".
I have attached a diagram and a picture below so you can see what this looks like installed and what the dimensions are. If you have any additional questions, go ahead and throw them into the comment box below.
