How Will Taller Gooseneck Ball Affect Trailer Height on 2018 Ram 2500
Question:
Great information - The BW Gooseneck Ball is taller than the other two brands you offer - what difference does that make for actually hauling something - since the ball is higher - how is that different than another brand where it is lower. Hope that makes sense. Thanks

Expert Reply:
The B&W ball, part # BWGNXA2062, will sit higher off the truck bed by about 1-1/4 inches when compared to the Curt # C60618.
If the B&W's height helps your trailer sit more level then it may improve your set up but that slight difference isn't going to make much impact very often. Although, making the trailer as level as possible is always better.
