Does Gooseneck Hitch of 2007 Dodge Ram 2500 Need to Remove to Install B and W Rail Kit
Question:
I have a 2007 2500 Dodge Ram with an existing gooseneck hitch. Do I need to remove the gooseneck hitch and brackets before I install BWRVK3270,BWRVR3202-00 rail kit?

Helpful Expert Reply:
Yes you would need to remove the gooseneck hitch of your 2007 Dodge Ram 2500 to install the B and W fifth wheel rail kit part # BWRVR3202-00 so that you can use the B and W Patriot Slider hitch part # BWRVK3270 you mentioned as well. The rail kit and the gooseneck hitch you have both use the same part of the truck frame to install which is why they both can't fit at the same time.
