The tallest gooseneck ball for your 2018 Ram 2500 with the factory prep package is the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit for Ram Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNXA2062; you can see the difference in height between this and the Curt Ball and Safety Chain Loops Kit for Ram Underbed Gooseneck Hitch # C60618.
You will need more than 5 inches and if the height of the B&W does not allow you to tow with the proper clearance, or tow level, I strongly recommend switching to a 5th wheel hitch,... view full answer...
The positive terminal on your deep cycle battery will connect to the 12V circuit from your 2018 Ram 2500 to provide a maintenance charge and you do ground the battery from the negative terminal to your trailer frame.
With that being said, the 12V power from the alternator on your Ram will provide a trickle charge at best (which keeps the battery topped off when not in use) and it won't actually charge the deep cycle battery completely.
Since it sounds like you are looking to use your... view full answer...
Yes, you can ground the Jensen Antenna # AN519 in the same location as the ground for your stereo. This does not require a separate ground from anything else so it will work well grounded in same area. view full answer...
You'd need a higher rated weight distribution like the Equal-i-zer part # EQ64FR which has a tongue weight range of 1,200 to 1,600 lbs and is widely considered to be the best performing system out there so it would work great for you.
Then for a shank we have the part # EQ90-02-4900 which fits a 2-1/2 inch hitch and can do a drop of up to 6 inches. view full answer...
The Daystar cradles you've mentioned are just an aftermarket addition and not at all required when using the Firestone Ride Rite # F2598; in fact, manufacturers do not recommend using them and this would possibly void the warranty. Since you're not off-roading and needing the suspension to have a lot of articulation they shouldn't be necessary anyways, so you'll do just fine having the bags installed in a normal manner where your connections are at the frame, above the axle.
If you're... view full answer...
In order to use an RBW Lil Rocker 5th Wheel Hitch on a 2020 Ram 2500 with factory prep package you will need to use the Reese 5th Wheel Rail Adapter part # RP30154. view full answer...
Yes the Husky fifth wheel rail kit part # HT32556-686 that you referenced is a fit for your 2017 Ram 2500 and also will work with your Curt fifth wheel to gooseneck adapter part # 16085. view full answer...
Curt has weight distribution shanks you can use with the # C17501 that fit the 2-1/2 inch hitch size like the part # C17131 which can do up to a 2 inch drop or part # C17132 which can provide up to 8 inches of drop but we do not offer the Curt kits with the 2-1/2 inch shanks.
The most similar system that does come with a 2-1/2 inch hitch size shank is the part # EQ34FR which I would highly recommend. It has a tongue weight range of 1,200-1,600 lb, comes with a hitch ball and is widely... view full answer...
You've asked a really great question, as the Demco Hijacker Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch ( # DM8550035 along with the Adapter Plate # DM6099 if your Ram has the factory pucks or # DM8550035 with Installation Rails # DM8552025-71 if it doesn't) and the B&W Companion ( # BWRVK3670 if you have the factory pucks or # BWRVK3400-5W with the Under-Bed Mount Kit # BWGNRK1384-5W if you don't) represent the 2 best options available for your 2018 Ram 2500 Short Bed.
Between the two I give a slight edge... view full answer...
The Ultra-Fab Power Twin II Manual Stabilizer # UF39-941704 would work well for you but you do need to remove the brackets you have on the chassis currently. This will need to attach directly to the chassis. view full answer...
There is a terrific option for a fifth wheel hitch that fits in the factory prep package (the puck system) of your 2017 Ram 2500 but the Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # RP30047 you mentioned is only designed to fit in above-bed base rails.
Since you have a short bed you will need a sliding hitch unless you have a Sidewinder pin box and there is one sliding 5th wheel hitch for your 2017 Ram 2500 that will fit directly in the factory puck system, the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer... view full answer...
The Demco Hijacker Autoslide # DM8550034 is definitely the better option over the PullRite SuperGlide 4400.
Although they do share some similarities (like the autosliding function, single-jaw to secure the king pin, and cushioned heads) the Demco stands out because it has 3 different height settings, 15-1/4", 16-1/2", and 18", features a 3/4" steel locking bar to reinforce the king pin connection, and doesn't require a locking plate unless you are using a special pin box. The PullRite... view full answer...
The best tonneau cover we offer for a 2020 Ram 2500 6-1/2' Bed with RamBox is the BAK Revolver X2 Hard Tonneau Cover part # BAK39213RB. The BAK Revolver can be rolled up against the cab when access to the bed is needed and it can be secured there if you need to drive with the bed open like when towing a fifth wheel or gooseneck trailer. It will not block the view either or at least very minimal unlike the hard fold options. Furthermore, it will not interfere with the RamBox feature and... view full answer...
The BulletProof Hitches Adjustable 2-Ball Mount for 2" Hitch - 6" Drop/Rise - 14,000 lbs # MD206 will work well with the Rock Tamers # ERT00108. The ball mount shank has adequate room for this application when using the farthest hitch pin hole. view full answer...
Towing capacities sometimes can be hard to figure out and it can seem like there is conflicting info but on your 2020 Ram 2500 the towing capacity is spelled out pretty easily as it can tow up to 25,000 lbs of trailer weight with a pin weight capacity of 3,750 lbs. Pay load capacity is a different number as it's basically the weight capacity of the truck bed whereas a trailer attaches to a hitch which attaches directly to the truck frame. The weight of the trailer you mentioned would easily... view full answer...
Yes, the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # BWRVK3270 can be left attached to the pin box for removal. That said, you'd need to adjust the landing gear on the trailer to release tension from the pins as well as lift the trailer even further once the pins are removed to better help maneuver the hitch from the truck bed.
In most cases, it's easier to just pop the head off and then remove the base rather than playing with the trailer height. view full answer...
The B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # BWRVK3270 is an excellent option for a 2018 Ram 2500 when used with the B&W Custom Installation Kit part # BWRVK2602. In regards to the latching handle, most will climb up onto the bedside (i.e. standing on the tire) in order engage or disengage but that is about the best I could do for you as the there are simply too many factors to be able to give you a clear, cut and dry answer.
I will however say that the B&W Patriot has a really smooth... view full answer...
I do have an option for you but there are no offset gooseneck hitch balls for the factory prep package. The only option we can offer you and I do mean only is a sliding fifth wheel hitch. The fifth wheel hitch we offer with the most amount of travel is Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # DM8550040 which is an automatic sliding fifth wheel hitch that offers up to 22-1/2" of front to back travel. view full answer...
Thanks so much for the photo it was extremely helpful; Demco Hijacker Autoslide Capture Plates for Trailair Rota-Flex Pin Boxes # DM6171 you referenced will absolutely work on your Demco Hijacker 5th wheel hitch such as # DM8550034.
I contacted Demco concerning this and they told me that these capture plates are now all threaded and you can simply remove your capture plates and install the # DM6171 in their place. view full answer...
