Will Shocker Hitch 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Coupler Fit Gooseneck Ball In 2011 GMC Sierra
Updated 03/04/2026 | Published 01/31/2026
Question:
Do I have to have the Anderson ball in my bed? Or will this fit straight to the ball in my bed. Will I have enough clearance to go all the way to the ball in my bed?

Hey Laben! You do not need a specific ball like the Andersen to use the Shocker Hitch 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Coupler Kit w/ Demco eZ-Latch # SHK89YR. As long as you have a standard size gooseneck ball (2-5/16") this will work with your setup. You will be able to go all the way to the ball in your bed.
What kind of trailer do you have?
