Expert Reply:
The best underbed gooseneck trailer hitch with a flip-over hitch ball for your 2008 Dodge Ram 2500 is the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch because of its powerful construction, and because it has a square base for its hitch ball which ensures optimal strength compared to hitches that have a ball with a round base, which allow movement at the hitch ball connection. The correct fit will depend on your bed size and if you have a Mega Cab or not:
- 2008 Dodge Ram 2500 6-1/2 foot bed WITHOUT Mega Cab and 8 foot bed: B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch with Custom Installation Kit # BWGNRK1313
- 2008 Dodge Ram 2500 6-1/2 foot bed WITH Mega Cab: B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch with Custom Installation Kit # BWGNRK1308
The hitch ball of the B&W gooseneck hitch has a square shank that fits directly in the base and is secured with a steel locking pin. This square base, along with the powder-coated steel construction of the hitch, is why it is considered by many to be the best gooseneck hitch available. The Turnoverball has been widely praised by our customers who have it, with over 850 reviews (at the time of this writing) giving it a nearly unanimous 5-star rating. It also has a lifetime warranty and is made in the USA.
If you need a gooseneck wiring kit and have the factory 7-way on your Ram I recommend the Hopkins Endurance 5th Wheel/Gooseneck 90-Degree Wiring Harness # HM42137.
