Hey Steve,
It looks like you may need an offset gooseneck ball to give you more clearance in the rear, and give you some lift off of the bed. WE do have a 4" offset for that B and W gooseneck hitch # BWGNXA4685. That will move it back to give you clearance from the tailgate as well as sit higher off the bed to clear the side rails on the truck.
What kind of trailer are you towing?

Hey Steve, did the offset gooseneck ball help with the clearance issues between your camper and the truck bed? I'm curious to know if it worked for you, as it might help others facing the same problem.
