4" Offset Ball for B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Trailer Hitches - BWGNXA4085
Average Customer Rating: 4.8 out of 5 stars (268 Customer Reviews)
Designed for use with B&W's Turnoverball gooseneck hitch, this ball extender moves the pivot point of your trailer 4" rearward to provide additional cab clearance.by: Dean06/12/2022
This product is exactly what I needed to offset our new “Reese Goose-box” pin box to better accommodate the clearance for the fuel tank and tool box in the bed of our truck. Thanks to the knowledge of the “etrailer” staff (specifically Stacy) she went the extra mile, taking additional time to assure all the products I needed were perfect for my application. Thank you Stacy for all your assistance and patience with my order.
P.S. I added the yellow strip down the center of the pin box to help guide me when hooking up. Perhaps “Reese” will add this little idea to their future pin boxes as an option?

This product works great and allows so much more usable room in the bed than our previous 5th wheel hitch which, was becoming too heavy to remove frequently when needing to haul materials.

@Dean We're happy to hear that the # BWGNXA4085 offset gooseneck ball is working well for you.
by: Robert 03/22/2024
I have a 8ft bed but when hooking up and working around the truck with camper hooked up it was difficult... with this ball I can open all the front Compartments. Pulling the toyhauler feels better to.. we have the goosebox 20k on the toyhauler.
by: Ryan01/21/2024
The 4 inch offset ball is very heavy made. I have no concern hauling a trailer with this.
by: TLB03/02/2023
I have used this offset ball in the B&W gooseneck hitch I installed in my regular box 2022 Chevy 3500 to tow our 13K GVWR fifth wheel with Reese Goosebox for over six months now and I love it! The offset ball combined with the placement of the hitch in a 2020+ Chevy means I can turn a full 90 degrees if necessary. And fully loaded, our truck is still within specs on all weight ratings, including rear axle weight.
by: Dan 11/28/2023
After installing the Gen Y Executive gooseneck hitch on our 5th wheel camper I needed more clearance in my 2016 GMC 6.5' truck bed. I already have the B&W Turnover hitch on my truck and this gave me 4" offset to the rear of my truck and 2" of lift. After 1 year of using this setup I am very pleased with the ride and towing.
by: Robert03/02/2024
Etrailer is awesome! They always have what I need, great prices, great customer service, great product, just like the gooseneck extension Ijust received. Shipping was amazingly fast too.
by: Wes03/06/2021
I haven’t used it yet, I am concerned about it being about 3/4” off the bed. I am thinking about pupping a spacer between it and the bed. Worried about it bending

Thanks for your review. This gap is normal since it fits a few different vehicles. It is safe and should not bend. You can put a washer there for peace of mind, but as long as you do not go over the weight capacity, it is not necessary.
by: Steve 04/02/2024
The test will be when I hook up a trailer. My customer service was fantastic.
by: Dennis 02/26/2024
Great website. Easy to navigate and order prompt shipping
by: Christopher 08/29/2023
Love how well this works. There are some offsets that are bigger but this worked well. I have a 5th wheel that has a gooseneck adapter and this gives me in my short bed truck a little bit more turning radius.
by: Ronald 12/02/2023
Great product and what I needed for a mega cab to pull Rv camper with goose box
by: Ken 05/03/2024
My order was lost in transit and replaced immediately, no questions asked. Thank you!
by: Louis05/27/2018
High Quality, Heavy duty 4” offset ball mount that works perfectly with the B&W turnover gooseneck hitch system. Adapted my 30’’ fifth wheel trailer with the Ranch regular gooseneck adapter—now no more heavy lifting and lots more room in the truck bed.
by: Jason11/27/2019
Fast shipping... The B&W 4in extension hitch ball is really good. I have used it a couple of times works great wish I had gotten one sooner. Problem I had was in a newer 2500hd the gooseneck was to close to toolbox and really close to rear window. With this extender ball problem is solved...
by: Russell 04/27/2024
BW always excellent quality.
by: Matthew08/29/2019
Great product, and perfect fit. Gave me the perfect offset that I needed to keep my trailer from hitting the cab. Highly recommend if you have a short wheel base truck and pulling a deck over gooseneck trailer!
by: Ryan Miller05/18/2019
This product works great for short bed truck. This product gives you more turning radius with out knocking your back window out.
Truck is a 2500 Ram, pulling 42ft gooseneck.

Welds are nice and clean. Does exactly what it’s designed to do.
by: Mike 02/25/2024
Well made, solid and fits good.
by: Carlos G01/15/2021
this offset ball has helped towing my fifth wheel, keeping it away from the truck cab when turning or backing tight. I would highly recommend this.

A year has passed, and I rely and enjoy using this product, I never tow without it. For those campers that doubt their tight turns and backing maneuvers, this product will put you at ease.

Strongly built and helps provide needed clearance.

Ball is still in great shape and has performed as described. It has helped improve my turning capabilities greatly!
by: Louisiana customer11/13/2021
Used with Ram 2500 short bed . Great product, works perfect. The offset allows cab and tool box clearance while pulling our 5th wheel camper. I have used etrailer with other purchases . They have always delivered on time and have provided good customer service. Thanks etrailer

- Can I Install a Gooseneck Hitch in a 2023 GMC Sierra 1500?Yes, you can! Actually the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Hitch item # BWGNRK1019 fits all three bed lengths and the diesel models of the 2023 GMC Sierra 1500. This system includes custom fit brackets that bolt into existing holes in your Sierra's frame. This underbed system allows you to store the 2-5/16" hitch ball upside down and inside your bed when you are not using it. This gives you full access to your bed when you're not towing. The locking handle is easily accessible inside...
view full answer... - Recommended 4" Offset Gooseneck Hitch Ball for a B&W Turnover Ball System To add an offset 2/5/16" hitch ball to your Sierra's Turnover Ball system you will want the 4" Offset Ball for B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Trailer Hitches item # BWGNXA4085. To make towing with a gooseneck trailer easier I recommend adding the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness w/ 7-Pole Connector - 10' Long item # C56000. This harness puts a 7-way connector in the bed of your truck and allows you to keep the one on your bumper. This makes hooking up to your gooseneck trailer...
view full answer... - Does Using an Offset Gooseneck Ball Change where the Pin Weight is Carried in the Truck BedIf you were to use the 4 inch offset ball # BWGNXA4085 the pin weight on the ball will not be changed. What will change is where the weight is carried on the truck. Using the offset ball will put more weight 4 inches back from the center of the gooseneck ball hole in the truck bed. This may or may not affect the truck. Some things that could happen include reduced steering and braking and headlights angled upward. If the weight is far enough behind the rear axle it can lift the front...
view full answer... - How to Create Separation from Truck Bed Tool Box and Gooseneck Hitch Ball I may have a solution for you, but there is not a taller gooseneck hitch ball that we have available for the B&W, or any other gooseneck hitch at this time. You might be able to get your gooseneck trailer connection away from the toolboxes using something like the 4" Offset Ball for B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Trailer Hitches # BWGNXA4085. If you've got a different brand of gooseneck hitch, let me know and I can see if there is somethingt hat would work. I've also gone ahead and linked...
view full answer... - Recommended Replacement For An 1116 Pin Box And Turning Clearance Recommendations Since you don't want the an Air Ride pin box I recommend the Trailair Rota-Flex 5th Wheel Pin Box - Lippert 1116 - 19,000lbs Item # LC176440. There's only about a 1-2" difference between different 1116 style pin boxes. This Rota-Flex pin box has a pivoting head with a built-in rubber compound that works to reduce chucking and absorb road shock, resulting in a smoother ride and less wear and tear on your trailer. Normally I would say to use a sidewinder or slider to gain turning clearance...
view full answer... - Availability of Offset Gooseneck Hitch Ball for 2019 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD with Short BedIf you have the OEM puck system on your 2019 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD then the only way to get an offset for your gooseneck trailer is by swapping out the coupler with something like the B&W Extend-A-Goose Gooseneck Coupler # BWTEXA4200 as there aren't aren't offset gooseneck balls like the Curt # C602 you referenced for the pucks. On the slight chance that you don't have the OEM puck system on your pickup I recommend installing the B&W Turnoverball # BWGNRK1016 so that you can use the...
view full answer... - Recommended Gooseneck Hitch and Offset Hitch Ball for 2004 Ford F-150 with 5-1/2 Foot BedThe B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch w/ Custom Installation Kit - 30,000 lbs # BWGNRK1104 is a confirmed fit for your 2004 Ford F-150. With the 5-1/2 foot bed, I do recommend using the 4" Offset Ball for B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Trailer Hitches # BWGNXA4085 to give you additional turning clearance for most trailers. If your trailer has a rounded front or an offset coupler like # BWTEXA4200 then that wouldn't be necessary, but in most cases with that short bed it is wise.

This is a really easy install for your truck and I've attached a video to show you the installation process on your truck. You may want to consider using the 4" Offset Ball for B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Trailer Hitches # BWGNXA4085 for turning clearances depending on your specific gooseneck trailer.

- Recommended Gooseneck Trailer Hitch For a 2024 GMC Sierra 2500HD I recommend installing the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNRK1020 on your 2024 GMC Sierra 2500HD. This will fit both the short bed or long bed depending on your configuration. I prefer this hitch as the gooseneck ball stores inside the hitch and you have the ability to use an offset Ball # BWGNXA4085 and a Fixed # BWRVK3500 or Sliding # BWRVK3400 5th wheel hitch. The Hopkins Endurance 5th Wheel/Gooseneck 90-Degree Wiring Harness # HM54FR will allow you to install...
view full answer... - Recommended Offset Ball for Clearance w/ a Short Bed Truck and a Reese Goose BoxCongrats on the new hobby! A Reese Goose Box like item # RP85FR doesn't do much to help you with clearance and you will want all the help you can get with a short bed truck. You have two options to get more clearance when turning or backing in with your 2018 Ram 3500 with a 6-1/2' bed and I have listed them below: The first option, and the one I highly recommend if you don't already have a Reese Goosebox, is to not change out the king pin on your 2021 Alliance Paradigm 340RL and use a...

- Correct Offset B&W Hitch Ball for 2019 Ford F-150 with Turnoverball GooseneckThe correct 4" Offset Ball for B&W Turnoverball for a 2019 Ford F-150 is part # BWGNXA4085. The 4" Offset Ball for B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for Dodge Ram 1500 part # BWGNXA4685 is not cross-compatible.
view full answer... - Recommended Gooseneck Hitch with Offset Ball for a 2021 Ford F-250The only option I have to obtain an offset gooseneck hitch ball on a 2021 Ford F-250 Super Duty is with the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch part # BWGNRK1116 as you can then use the 4" Offset Ball for B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Trailer Hitches part # BWGNXA4085. There are no offset hitch balls for the Curt Custom Underbed OEM-Style Gooseneck Trailer Hitch. The latch release is in the hitch ball head and that won't work for an offset ball.

This is the replacement for the RP94623 you referenced. It will also work with a 1716 pin box when you use spacer kit # RP61301.

In regards to the short bed, this won't be an issue as far as fit goes but it might create problems with turning clearance on certain trailer which is why I recommend adding the 4" Offset Ball for B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Trailer Hitches part # BWGNXA4085. I actually installed this hitch on an older model some time ago, it's the same generation though...

- Offset Gooseneck Hitch for 2021 Chevy Silverado 2500 Short Bed w/o Prep PackageAssuming that your truck isn't equipped with the OEM gooseneck hitch/puck system, you'd begin by installing a gooseneck hitch. I'd recommend the B&W Turnover Ball, part # BWGNRK1020. Once the hitch is in place, you'd use the G&W Gooseneck ball with 4 inch offset, part # BWGNXA4085

Of course it also fits the equivalent Sierras. The linked instructions on page 2 give you the hitch positioning for each bed length. The hitch ball hole position is referenced to the rear edge of bed. You can also refer to the linked diagram taken from those instructions that gives the two dimensions depending on your bed length.

- Is the 4 Offset B&W Hitch Ball Required for B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch on 2019 Ford F-250The 4" Offset Ball for B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Trailer Hitches part # BWGNXA4085 would indeed be a good idea to use with the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch part # BWGNRK1116 on a 2019 Ford F-250 if you have the short bed. In regards to the Reese Goose Box 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Air Ride Coupler Adapter part # RP85FR which is for a Lippert 1621, if the GVWR of the trailer does not exceed 20,000 lbs you will be fine and I can confirm this indeed the second generation design.
view full answer... - 4 Inch Offset Ball Recommendation for my B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Trailer HitchYes the 4" Offset Ball for B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Trailer Hitches part # BWGNXA4085 is an exact fit for the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch part # BWGNRK1314. It will also give you that extra inch you're looking for.

It's the B and W Custom Underbed Kit, part # BWGNRK1111-5W, and the B and W Fifth Wheel Hitch, part # BWRVK3400-5W. This system together will give you the option to tow a 5th wheel or a gooseneck.

You will want to use the 4 inch offset ball # BWGNXA4085 because the bed is shorter than 6 feet. This offset ball will work with the Andersen Ultimate Hitch but you will still need to be careful with turning clearances due to the short bed and Super Crew Cab.

- Offset Gooseneck Ball Hitch Options For a 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HDThe Curt Custom Underbed OEM-Style Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # C60642 on your 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD will not allow for a offset ball. This is due to it not having a locking pin that travels through the shank of the ball like the Curt EZr Double Lock # C65HR or B&W Turnoverball # BWGNRK1020. Of these systems I recommend the B&W Turnoverball # BWGNRK1020 as the best option. You are able to store the ball in the same hole by simply turning it over to get a flat bed. And you can drop...
