Short Gooseneck Hitch Ball Needed for Towing 5th Wheel with 2021 GMC Sierra 2500
Question:
Currently have a pull rite. it seems to have to much slop/loose fit. it also sits to high and my 5 wheel sits 2 inches to high I already lowered the king pin as much as possible. I see you recommended a BandW Kit # BWGNXA2061 to a 2021 3500 owner however that ball would be to tall for me. I desire a short ball. What do you recommend?

Expert Reply:
The B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit # BWGNXA2061 is taller than the Reese Elite Series Pop-In Ball Kit # RP23FR, which is only 3-7/8" from the bottom of the flange to the top of the hitch ball (see attached photo).
If you're wanting to use a hitch ball type setup then you'll also need to swap out your standard pin box for a goosebox so it couples directly to the hitch ball. If you let me know what pin box number you currently have (like 1621 for example) I can help you find a replacement that works with the gooseneck hitch ball.
