- Will Ranch Hitch Universal 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Coupler Adapter AM3139 Work on Flatbed
- The Ranch Hitch Universal 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Coupler Adapter # AM3139 will work on any standard (non-cushioned) 5th wheel pin box. With a gooseneck ball that is mounted on a flat bed truck you will want to make sure that there is enough space around the ball to allow the coupler to grip it. Sometimes flatbeds can have the ball recessed in a hole.
My contact at Anderson Rapid Hitch advised that this coupler requires a circular area of no less than 5-5/8-inches centered around the base...

- The word from Firestone is that when their air bag kits, like the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2598 for your 2021 Ram 2500, are set to 5 psi then then your suspension will act as normal and there won't be any "help" from the air bags so your truck ride will be normal.
Yes, if you jack your truck up by the frame, like you would to change a tire, that will be perfectly safe for the air bags as well. You would just want to avoid extreme cases.
The Ride-Rite air springs are arguably...

- I have a solution for you but the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs item # F2598 mount in the same location as 5th wheel hitch brackets so you will want to use another system. All of the Firestone systems have this issue. I recommend the Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Air Helper Springs item # AL57589. This system has a 7,500 lbs load leveling capacity.
As far as adding coil springs go. You can use the SuperSprings Suspension Leveling Kit item # SS54PV however it may not be as noticeable...
view full answer... - Weight Distribution Shank For 2-1/2 Inch Hitch Receiver
- It sounds like the shank you have just doesn't give you enough drop; and whether or not you need a weight distribution hitch is honestly up to you. It should help level your trailer (if you have the appropriate drop), but it may not be a system with sway control, if that's what you were referencing by it not doing enough. One is recommended for staying level, and shanks are essentially universal so you can simply replace the shank with one that has the correct drop. You mentioned 8-9 inches,...

- Safety chains are not required to be used with the Curt CrossWing Lightweight Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter item # C32DR. The chain connectors will not be in the way the bed protector supports will mount over the sockets.

- The K-Source Snap & Zap Custom Towing Mirrors # KS80730 are designed to fit the standard mirrors which do not fold on a 2021 Ram 2500 Laramie sport. These are for the non folding style mirrors that have a corner convex mirror. If your Ram has the larger fold up mirrors that have a larger convex mirror on the edge of the mirror these mirrors will not fit. Those mirrors are designed to fold up and out and act as towing mirrors. If you are unsure still please send me a picture of your mirrors...
view full answer... - Can Center Section from 2007 Chevy Silverado Fit B&W Gooseneck Hitch on 2012 Ram 2500
- Thank you for all of the info!
To install the B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch on your 2012 Ram 2500 you need the part # BWGNRK1308 if it runs on gas or # BWGNRK1313 if it runs on diesel. Please note these aren't compatible with the Mega Cab or cab and chassis models.
These center sections are GNRC907 and GNRC900 respectively while the center section for your 2007 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD used center section GNRC959 so they aren't compatible with each other unfortunately.
view full answer... - Fitting A B&W 5th Wheel Hitch To A 2017 RAM 2500 Without Prep Package
- I have a solution for you, but the Replacement Slider Base # BWRVB3775 that you were looking at is for B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider 20K # BWRVK3775. This only fits Chevy/Gmc trucks with the factory prep package and it will not fit your 2017 RAM 2500 without prep package.
Instead, I would look at the B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider 20K # BWRVK3400-5W along with Custom Underbed Installation Kit # BWGNRK1384-5W. This is confirmed to fit your 2017 RAM 2500 without...

- We have a platform rack for you.
First, though, the Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform, part # RR42103BF, is not designed to mount to crossbars, so you cannot use it with your ladder rack. In fact, the only Rhino-Rack platforms that can be mounted to crossbars are not long enough to fit your spread.
Instead, I recommend the Yakima LockNLoad Platform Rack for Crossbars, part # Y05046-39. It has all of the great features of the Pioneer with one leg up: it's 65" wide, giving you another foot to...

- It sounds like you have a 2-1/2" receiver on your 2016 Ram 2500 and have installed a reducer to fit your 2" accessory, and there is some sway. I have a solution for you.
First, though, the etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Stabilizer for 2" Hitches, part # e99007, is not designed to be used with this kind of setup. The lip would not make decent contact to reduce sway as intended.
Instead, I recommend the Blue Ox Hitch Receiver Immobilizer III for 2-1/2" Hitch with 2" Adapter, part # BX88312....

- We do carry custom towing mirrors that may work for your 2014 Dodge Ram 2500.

- If the Sidewinder is a first generation Sidewinder then yes you can use the Curt A Series fifth wheel hitches like the A30 part # C64BR but if it's a second gen it won't work. But Sidewinder found was that the wedges were getting sheared off with this hitch and the second gen models.

- I The B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch # BWGNRK1313 is not compatible with the Mega Cab version of your 2012 Ram 2500 but we do have some alternative options that are compatible.
The Curt EZr Double Lock Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # C60682 is a solid option if you're only looking to tow gooseneck trailers with your pickup.

view full answer... - Can B&W Companion Slider For 2022 Ram 2500 Allow Use of Gooseneck Hitch
- Yes, a gooseneck hitch can be used on your 2022 Ram 2500 when you aren't using the Companion sliding 5th wheel hitch. In fact, the Companion actually mounts directly to a gooseneck, so you can tow either a 5th wheel or gooseneck trailer. The correct parts for your 2022 Ram 2500 are the following:
- B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch with Slider # BWRVK3400-5W

- I do prefer the Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter # DM6099 with its fully welded design for your 2019 Ram 2500 with the factory prep/puck system. This will allow you to mount the Curt Crosswing Lightweight 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C86JR in your bed.
Since you do have the short bed remember that you may not be able to make full jackknife turns without your cab hitting the 5th wheel. A Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # DM8550035 is the best option as it will automatically move the camper...
view full answer... - Is B&W Companion Compatible with Any B&W Gooseneck Hitch
- The B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # BWRVK3500-5W is compatible with any B&W gooseneck hitch unless it is installed on a flatbed truck. In that case you'd need part # BWRVK3050 instead which is specially designed for flatbed truck use.
If your vehicle has a short bed it is recommended to use the sliding version part # BWRVK3400-5W instead so that you can gain enough turning clearance that your trailer doesn't make contact with your truck cab.

- We have the Lippert lift kit part # RR23QX which will give your trailer an additional 2 inch lift but nothing we offer will provide a 4 inch lift. It sounds like your truck has a lift on it currently. Lifted trucks are hard to tow fifth wheel trailers with so if it's an option I'd recommend removing the lift.
