Will Curt C60700 OEM Style Gooseneck Hitch on 2020 Ford F250 Interfere With Shock Replacement

Question:

On the BandW version of this you have to completely take off one bracket to replace the rear shocks. Does this unit eliminate that or do you still have to unbolt this one to get to the shock?

Curt couldn't say if the frame brackets for their # C60700 Gooseneck Hitch would need removal to replace the rear shocks on your 2020 Ford F250.

I compared the length of the frame mounting brackets for both the Curt Gooseneck and the B&W # BWGNRK1116, and found that the Curt outer brackets on bot sides measure 17-3/4 inches and the inner brackets, both sides measure 14-1/2 inches. On the B&W # BWGNRK1116, the inner and outer bracket on the drivers side measure 17 inches and on the passenger side they measure 13-1/2 inches.

Long story short, the Curt brackets are a bit longer, so it would be safe to say that the mounting brackets for the Curt would also need to be removed to replace shocks.
