Expert Reply:

Hi Michael; do you have an aftermarket Curt gooseneck hitch or the OEM prep package? The last time we talked you mentioned the puck system on your 2018 Ram. If you have the gooseneck hitch from the prep package you can use the # GY83XR for an offset ball. If you have an aftermarket Curt hitch no offset ball is available. The only option would be to use something like the # BWTEXA4200 if it was a gooseneck trailer.

@Michael it will not. Gen-Y has not tested it and told me they cannot condone using it with Andersen systems. I don't think that base will fit around the mounting points even if they said it was ok. Is the offset from the Andersen not enough for your setup? If you're set on using the Andersen and you don't have the clearance right now you will likely have to live with the lack of clearance on turns and be aware of your limitations. If you still have the 5th wheel with the Sidewinder I would use a standard 5th wheel hitch and let the Sidewinder rotate so it be won't be an issue.
