Question:

Gooseneck ball risers safe? I need more height between my bed and 5th wheel and the geny hitch is maxed out. I barely have 5 7/8 room right now.

Hey Taylor, welcome back! And good question. Yes, high-rise gooseneck balls are safe to use, but they are brand and model specific to your gooseneck hitch. So as long as you use the right one, they are fine to use.

For example, the Curt 1" High-Rise ball # C60603 is for the Curt double lock flip and store gooseneck hitch.

What gooseneck hitch are you using? Is it factory or aftermarket? Let me know and I'm happy to look into it and see if we have a high rise ball option for you.

5-7/8" is a decent amount of clearance but hopefully we can get you a bit more.
