Expert Reply:
From the center of the shank to each end of the base (forward and back) of the B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # BWRVK3500 is 18 inches. So you would need to measure forward and back from the center of your gooseneck ball shank 18 inches to see if you have the clearance needed.
We haven't had a chance to take this measurement in your truck bed so I can't tell you exactly what clearance you'd have like you asked about.
