Designed for use with B&W's Turnoverball gooseneck hitch, this ball extender moves the pivot point of your trailer 4" rearward to provide additional cab clearance.by: Dean06/12/2022
This product is exactly what I needed to offset our new “Reese Goose-box” pin box to better accommodate the clearance for the fuel tank and tool box in the bed of our truck. Thanks to the knowledge of the “etrailer” staff (specifically Stacy) she went the extra mile, taking additional time to assure all the products I needed were perfect for my application. Thank you Stacy for all your assistance and patience with my order.
P.S. I added the yellow strip down the center of the pin box to help guide me when hooking up. Perhaps “Reese” will add this little idea to their future pin boxes as an option?

This product works great and allows so much more usable room in the bed than our previous 5th wheel hitch which, was becoming too heavy to remove frequently when needing to haul materials.

@Dean We're happy to hear that the # BWGNXA4085 offset gooseneck ball is working well for you.
by: Robert 03/22/2024
I have a 8ft bed but when hooking up and working around the truck with camper hooked up it was difficult... with this ball I can open all the front Compartments. Pulling the toyhauler feels better to.. we have the goosebox 20k on the toyhauler.

I have used this offset ball in the B&W gooseneck hitch I installed in my regular box 2022 Chevy 3500 to tow our 13K GVWR fifth wheel with Reese Goosebox for over six months now and I love it! The offset ball combined with the placement of the hitch in a 2020+ Chevy means I can turn a full 90 degrees if necessary. And fully loaded, our truck is still within specs on all weight ratings, including rear axle weight.
by: Ryan01/21/2024
The 4 inch offset ball is very heavy made. I have no concern hauling a trailer with this.
by: Dan 11/28/2023
After installing the Gen Y Executive gooseneck hitch on our 5th wheel camper I needed more clearance in my 2016 GMC 6.5' truck bed. I already have the B&W Turnover hitch on my truck and this gave me 4" offset to the rear of my truck and 2" of lift. After 1 year of using this setup I am very pleased with the ride and towing.
by: Robert03/02/2024
Etrailer is awesome! They always have what I need, great prices, great customer service, great product, just like the gooseneck extension Ijust received. Shipping was amazingly fast too.

The test will be when I hook up a trailer. My customer service was fantastic.
by: Wes03/06/2021
I haven’t used it yet, I am concerned about it being about 3/4” off the bed. I am thinking about pupping a spacer between it and the bed. Worried about it bending

Thanks for your review. This gap is normal since it fits a few different vehicles. It is safe and should not bend. You can put a washer there for peace of mind, but as long as you do not go over the weight capacity, it is not necessary.
by: Christopher 08/29/2023
Love how well this works. There are some offsets that are bigger but this worked well. I have a 5th wheel that has a gooseneck adapter and this gives me in my short bed truck a little bit more turning radius.
by: Dennis 02/26/2024
Great website. Easy to navigate and order prompt shipping
by: Louis05/27/2018
High Quality, Heavy duty 4” offset ball mount that works perfectly with the B&W turnover gooseneck hitch system. Adapted my 30’’ fifth wheel trailer with the Ranch regular gooseneck adapter—now no more heavy lifting and lots more room in the truck bed.

Fast shipping... The B&W 4in extension hitch ball is really good. I have used it a couple of times works great wish I had gotten one sooner. Problem I had was in a newer 2500hd the gooseneck was to close to toolbox and really close to rear window. With this extender ball problem is solved...
by: Ryan Miller05/18/2019
This product works great for short bed truck. This product gives you more turning radius with out knocking your back window out.
Truck is a 2500 Ram, pulling 42ft gooseneck.
by: Matthew08/29/2019
Great product, and perfect fit. Gave me the perfect offset that I needed to keep my trailer from hitting the cab. Highly recommend if you have a short wheel base truck and pulling a deck over gooseneck trailer!

BW always excellent quality.

Welds are nice and clean. Does exactly what it’s designed to do.
by: Mike 02/25/2024
Well made, solid and fits good.
by: Carlos G01/15/2021
this offset ball has helped towing my fifth wheel, keeping it away from the truck cab when turning or backing tight. I would highly recommend this.

A year has passed, and I rely and enjoy using this product, I never tow without it. For those campers that doubt their tight turns and backing maneuvers, this product will put you at ease.
by: Louisiana customer11/13/2021
Used with Ram 2500 short bed . Great product, works perfect. The offset allows cab and tool box clearance while pulling our 5th wheel camper. I have used etrailer with other purchases . They have always delivered on time and have provided good customer service. Thanks etrailer

Strongly built and helps provide needed clearance.

by: Lexi03/02/2023
Awesome hitch and haven’t smashed my back window. Also love the customer service at etrailer! I will definitely be a returning customer for my future trailer needs.
by: Jim11/04/2017
I have a 2005 F 250 crew cab short box. I changed from a 5th wheel for simplicity and ease of switching from a trailer to a slide in camper. So, this is all I have to remove in order to be able to put the camper on. I am getting older and this is just enough weight to carry around. The offset is perfect to jackknife the trailer. The towing with this set up is way better than the fifth wheel. Way more solid feeling and no clunking. I should have done this years ago.

Excellent. Like it - Will never go back to a fifth wheel.

- Can Gooseneck Hitch be Installed on 2020 Ram 2500 With RamBoxYes, you can install a gooseneck hitch on your 2020 Ram 2500 with the RamBox without issue as there won't be interference. For your 2020 Ram 2500, the best gooseneck is the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch with Custom Installation Kit # BWGNRK1320. The Turnoverball hitch is the best in the industry because it has a square base for its hitch ball which ensures optimal strength and durability. What that means is the ball isn't going to turn when you are driving, keeping...
view full answer... - How to Get More Than 4 Inches of Offset With B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck HitchThere is a way to get more than 4 inches of offset, but the ball you asked about does not fit the square base of the Turnoverball hitch, and the most offset you can get with a hitch ball is the 4 inches of the 4" Offset Ball for B&W Turnoverball # BWGNXA4085. The only way to get more than 4 inches of offset is with an extended coupler" - B&W Extend-A-Goose Gooseneck Coupler # BWTEXA4200 The # BWTEXA4200 gives you 10 inches of offset, fits standard 4" diameter outer tubes, and has a 25,000...
view full answer... - Gooseneck Hitch for 2012 Ram 2500 that Can Use Offset BallHey John, you'd have to go with an all new gooseneck hitch since Draw Tite doesn't have an offset ball for that hitch. You'd need the B and W Gooseneck part # BWGNRK1308 for if you have a gas engine or part # BWGNRK1313 if its a diesel. Then you could use the offset ball part # BWGNXA4085 which would give you 4 inches of offset.
view full answer... - How To Determine Gooseneck Towing Capacity And Hitch Needed For A 2015 Chevy Silverado 1500To determine the truck's towing capacity you can contact a GM dealership with your VIN and they can look it up. You can also look in your owner's manual with your gear differential ratio to get a bit more specific gooseneck towing capacity than just doing the generic towing capacity; subtracting the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) from your gross combined weight rating (GCWR). To know how much turning clearance you have you can measure from the center to the gooseneck coupler to the...
view full answer... - Can B&W Turnover Ball, Offset Gooseneck Ball & Andersen Ultimate 5th Wheel Connection work TogetherIt is perfectly acceptable to use the B&W Turnover ball Gooseneck hitch # BW77FR, and the # BWGNXA4085 offset ball be used with an Andersen Ultimate 5th wheel Connection. The Andersen hitch adapter provides about 8 inches of offset, plus the 4 inches you'll get from the offset ball add up to the same 12 inch offset you'd get from most sliding fifth wheel hitches. I've also confirmed the compatibility with Andersen.

First you will start with the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNRK1116. Since you have a short bed truck you may also want the 4" Offset Ball # BWGNXA4085 to gain you some additional turning clearance. While you are able to use the Demco 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter # DM6140 with the Andersen Ultimate Connection 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # AM3200 a better option is to use the B&W Companion...
view full answer... - Correct B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for a 2023 Ram 1500 EcoDieselI checked with B&W and the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch part # BWGNRK1319 is a fit for a 2023 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel. In regards to the short bed, this won't be an issue as far as fit goes but it might create problems with turning clearance on certain trailer which is why I recommend adding the 4" Offset Ball for B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Trailer Hitches part # BWGNXA4085. I actually installed this hitch on an older model some time ago, it's the same generation though...

The 4" Offset Ball for B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Trailer Hitches # BWGNXA4085 you were looking at will fit your hitch and truck perfectly, and will give you an extra 4" of cab to trailer clearance when towing a gooseneck trailer.

view full answer... - Can 4 Offset B&W Gooseneck Ball be Used for More Clearance on a 5th Wheel TrailerIf you have the B&W Gooseneck Hitch # BWGNRK1257 on a Toyota Tundra then you can use the 4" Offset Ball # BWGNXA4585 to give yourself some more clearance. B&W also has the 4" Offset Ball # BWGNXA4085 which is more of a standard option if you don't have a Tundra. These can be used with any kind of gooseneck coupler without jeopardizing the integrity of the offset ball. If you have a different gooseneck hitch I'd need to know what you're using to see if we have a similar product that fits.
view full answer... - Recommended UnderBed Gooseneck Hitch and Offset Ball for a 2018 Chevy Silverado 2500Depending on what year, make, and model truck you have there is an option for installing a gooseneck hitch that will give you extra clearance when turning. Lets say you have a 2018 Chevy Silverado 2500. You can use the B&W Turnoverball System item # BWGNRK1016 along with the 4" Offset Ball for B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Trailer Hitches item # BWGNXA4085. The combination of these two parts will push the connection point back 4" from the center of your bed. I have linked a couple of review...

This will give you more clearance but will also reduce your towing capacity to the 20,000 lb rating of the offset ball. This will work with your Pendaliner in-bed liner.

I recommend going with the Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box item # GY66FR over the Reese Goose Box 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Air Ride Coupler Adapter item # RP85FR. The Gen-Y has a shock-absorbing pin box that works without having to rely on airbags like the Reese. The shock-absorbing design functions like a torsion axle to limit transfer of road shock from trailer...
view full answer... - Offset Gooseneck Ball for 2021 Ram 3500 With OEM In Bed PrepThe Curt Above-Bed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for Fifth Wheel Rails # 16055 can be used with a set of in bed rails. This will give you a 3" offset. The other option would involve putting an offset adapter on to your gooseneck trailer. Something like the B&W Extend-A-Goose Gooseneck Coupler # BWTEXA4200. If you decide that this is the best option for you let me know what tube size you have on your gooseneck trailer and I will recommend a option for you.

It has a powder coated steel that resists corrosion and is made in The USA. The weight capacity for the ball is up to 20,000 pounds and has a vertical load limit of 5,000 pounds. I attached a review video link below.

view full answer... - Can B and W Offset Gooseneck Ball Adapter Help with Turning ClearanceIf the gooseneck hitch you have installed in your 2004 Dodge Ram 3500 long bed is a B and W hitch then yes you can use the part # BWGNXA4085 and it will give you 4 additional inches of offset clearance. Since your truck is an 8 foot bed I can't imagine needing more clearance than what this would offer as well. This has a trailer weight capacity of 20,000 lbs and a pin weight capacity of 5,000 lbs so you'd need to compare that to the weight of the camper.

If you already have the stationary Companion # BWRVK3500-5W then you can just remove the head unit and use that with the slider base # BWRVB3405 to get the clearance that you need. Since you said you have the gooseneck adapter is made me wonder if you have the Reese Goosebox like part # RP85FR. If this is the case then you could...

This will give you a gooseneck hitch ball that can easily be stored in the hitch and still provides a clean bed for every day use. If you have a short bed truck the 4" Offset Ball for B&W Turnoverball # BWGNXA4085 will provide you will a little extra turning clearance when you need to maneuver the your camper in tight areas. If you do not already have an in bed 7-way...
view full answer... - Will 4" Offset Ball for B&W Turnoverball Put Extra Stress on HitchThis is a good question but as long as your trailer is under 20,000 lbs the 4 inch offset hitch ball # BWGNXA4085 would not put any undue stress on the hitch or the truck.
view full answer... - Can Offset Ball Be Used With Offset Gooseneck Coupler I spoke with my contact at B&W about the 4 inch offset ball part # BWGNXA4085. They told me that they do not offer a 15 inch offset coupler so they could not recommend using the 2 together. They did say the Extend-A-Goose Gooseneck Coupler, part # BWTEXA4200 would work with the offset ball, but I am unable to guarantee your coupler would work with the # BWGNXA4085.
view full answer... - 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box for Keystone Impact 311 Toy HaulerIn order to use the gooseneck hitch in your 2021 F-250 with the Keystone Impact 311 I recommend the Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box. However, the # GY58GR you looked at isn't rated high enough. Gen-Y uses the formula GVWR x 0.22 = TW so at 16,780 lbs it will be 3,692. This means you need the # GY66FR with the 5,500 lb tongue weight capacity assuming you have a 1621 bolt pattern. You will also need to determine which pin box bolt pattern is on the toy hauler. Since...
view full answer... - Can B&W Extend-A-Goose Coupler BWTEXA4200 Be Used with Offset Gooseneck BallThe B&W Extend-A-Goose Gooseneck Coupler # BWTEXA4200 will provide 10-inches of offset for better clearance between the truck and trailer. It sounds like you are using a B&W Offset ball like # BWGNXA4085 which gives you 4-inches of offset. It is okay to use these two items at the same time. Since this Extend-A-Goose replaces a standard straight tube you will have little change to the trailer's handling, apart from the better clearance it provides.
view full answer... - Determining Fitment Of Reese Goose Box With Trailer Height & Cab Clearance Distance On 1621 Pin BoxTo determine if your height is going to change on your trailer there are a few measurements you will need to take. First the lowest mounting hole on the Reese Goose Box # RP85FR is 19.2" from the hole center to the bottom of the gooseneck coupler. Since there are multiple adjustment holes that hold it to the frame you will need to measure the height from these holes to your bed to ensure you will have the height you need. For the length a Lippert 1621 Pin Box # LC1387883 it is 25-5/8"...

I verified with the manufacturer that the Turnoverball hitch that fits your truck is the following: - B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNRK1308 This hitch is specifically for the Mega Cab version of your Ram; the GNK1313 you mentioned does NOT fit the Mega Cab.
