Measurement for Locating Ball Hole in Truck Bed of 2012 Ram 3500 for Install of B and W Gooseneck

Question:

Hello, can you tell me where to drill the hole for the turnover hitch on a 2012 Ram 3500 mega cab dually? I have seen a couple of videos stating 45 1/2 inches. I downloaded pdf instructions and they say that for anything other than a long bed it should be 44 1/4 from the rear of the bed. Can you verify the correct location for me please? Thanks

Hey Tommy, for the B and W Turnoverball part # BWGNRK1313 that fits your 2012 Ram 3500 short bed you would need to use the measurement of 45-1/2 inches which is listed in the install instructions I attached to this page. This will be from the rear edge of the truck bed forward and it will be where the center of the 4 inch hole should be.

Thanks. The part number that I have is GRNM1307, and GNRC907. My truck is a 2012 3500 Mega Cab.

@Tommy Is it possible that's not the right part number you found? I tried a few variations of what you mentioned but couldn't find anything that matches from B and W.
