What is Correct Placement Of Goose Neck Hitch Ball in Full Size Pickup
A goose neck hitch ball, or the center of a 5th wheel hitch head for that matter, will be located either right over the rear axle or an inch or so forward of it.

Will a Sierra Brand 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector Fit Tow Ready Mounting Bracket
Mounting bracket # 18144 fits most 4-Way flat trailer connectors. We don't have Sierra brand connectors so I can't test it.
