I am not sure exactly what you mean by "cushion gooseneck hitch", but if you are referring to one of the Shocker Hitch Air Cushioned Gooseneck Couplers like the # SHK67MR, then yes you can absolutely use it with the OEM gooseneck ball in your F350. The Shocker Hitch Coupler will work with any 2-5/16 gooseneck ball. It will fit a gooseneck trailer with a 4" ID tube which is fairly standard.

There is only one option for a hitch ball with a rise that fits the Reese Elite gooseneck hitch, and that is a hitch ball with a 1 inch rise. The part number for that hitch ball is the following:
- High-Rise Pop-In Ball for Reese Elite Series Underbed Gooseneck Hitch - 1" Rise # RP19315 view full answer...
Nope; a cushioned gooseneck ball has the same instability properties as a cushioned pin box and should not be used with the Ranch Hitch Universal 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Coupler Adapter # AM3100.
Using this adapter will require a standard gooseneck hitch ball. view full answer...
The Convert-A-Ball # CAB-C5G can be used on factory gooseneck hitches, but it cannot be one that uses a hitch ball with an integrated locking lever. These can be damaged and possibly fail while in use. That being said, if your gooseneck does not use one of these styles of lock, you can use it. view full answer...
I know of the PopUp and Cody brands of gooseneck hitches that use a cable ball release mechanism, and also of adapters from Ranch Hitch that use a cable release, such as their # AM3100 and # AM3139. These adapters are for use when pulling a 5th wheel trailer with a gooseneck hitch. The cable on these adapters releases the adapter base from the gooseneck ball. view full answer...
There are a couple of options which you can choose from which will allow you to pull a 5th wheel trailer with your 2008 Ford F-350, which I'll go over for you.
The best option by far is the Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter # DM8550045 because it gives you the security of a fifth wheel hitch with a strong jaw system while simply fitting on the gooseneck ball of the Curt EZr. It is both simple to use and strong, with a 21,000 lb towing capacity.

One of the gooseneck trailer hitch adapters we offer is part # RP58079. This holds the ball in place with a clip and the ball will spin. We offer two gooseneck trailer hitch adapters from Reese that will allow you to hook your gooseneck trailer up while using fifth wheel rails.
The other adapter is the one you came from, part # 16055 and it has the ball welded in place. If the weld has broken and allows the ball to move, it would be dangerous and you should stop using it immediately.

The Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter part # DM8550045 weighs around 140 lbs in total but it can be broken down into two parts for an easer installation, the head which weighs around 35 lbs and the base which weighs around 105 lbs. This is a very light fifth wheel hitch which still offers great security and performance. It simply mounts to a gooseneck hitch ball allowing you to tow both fifth wheel and gooseneck trailers. view full answer...
Less the packaging, the Curt # C607-649 Double Lock Flip and Store Gooseneck hitch weighs in at right about 90 lbs. You can see a product description video featuring the hitch by clicking the provided link. view full answer...
The B&W 2-5/16" Hitch Ball w/ 2" Rise - 1-1/2" Diameter x 2-3/4" Long Shank - Raw - 30K # BWHB94006 is typically used with a standard 2 5/16 coupler, like the Demco 50-Degree A-Frame Trailer Coupler # 12660-97SP for example. However, it can also be used to pull a 5th wheel camper that has been converted to connect to a gooseneck ball with something like the Reese Goose Box # RP85FR.
With that being said, the # BWHB94006 should not just be attached to the bed of a standard 2005 Ford F-150... view full answer...
The Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter # DM8550045 weighs 125 lbs. It will convert your gooseneck hitch into a working fifth wheel hitch and has a towing capacity of 21,000 lbs and features a pivoting head to make hooking your trailer up easier as well as three height settings to ensure you tow your trailer level.

5th wheel trailers do not require safety chains the way ball hitches like goosenecks do. Chains are only needed on ball-type couplers like standard receiver hitches and goosenecks. Since a 5th wheel connects at a king pin rather than a ball no chains are needed. Gooseneck hitches like # BWGNRK1111-5W include safety chain loops but 5th wheel hitches do not. view full answer...
Since you have a short bed truck, you may want to use the B&W Companion Slider hitch # BWRVK3400. This fifth-wheel trailer hitch, which also adapts your Turnoverball gooseneck hitch, incorporates a slider that gives you an extra 12" of fore/aft movement to ensure proper cab clearance when executing turns.
I have included a view review of this fifth wheel hitch for you to check out.

We do not offer any custom gooseneck hitches for your F-350 Cab And Chassis, but we do have the Fold-Down Gooseneck Trailer Hitch with Installation Kit, part # 8339.
This hitch has a 25,000-lb gross towing capacity and includes a 2-5/16 inch ball. The ball folds down so you have full use of the truck bed when not towing. This kit would require custom brackets and hardware to mount on your flat bed. The hitch must be attached to the frame of the truck and cannot be mounted with just the... view full answer...
I do have a potential solution for you, but we do not offer any kind of OEM puck system for your truck. There is going to be a way that you can pull a gooseneck trailer with your current setup.
If the under bed puck system you have has the pucks spaced like the other Ford OEM pucks, with center to center dimensions of 30 inches across and 13 inches on center front to back, the Reese Elite Series Above-Bed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # RP30845 would mount in your pucks and allow you to pull... view full answer...
Once the Curt Quick Goose 2 gooseneck hitch # C630-641 is installed on your 2010 Ford F-150, you will be able to see the hitch ball, the chrome ring running below the ball, and the two safety chain U-bolts. The U-bolts remain in the bed, but you are able to remove the hitch ball, turn it over and cover the hole with a chrome cap, retaining the looks and use of your truck bed.
I am including a link to the installation instructions for the gooseneck hitch, if needed. view full answer...
According to B&W, readily available automotive touch up paint would work excellent for protecting any spot on the hitch where the finish might have come off. Touch up paint is readily available from any auto parts store. When the ball is stowed upside down in the hitch, using the rubber cover, part # BWGNXA1710 is recommended.

There is not an air raid available with the 25k B&W Companion Flatbed Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter # BWRVK3050.
What you will need if you don't have it, however, is the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for Flatbed Trucks # BWGNRK1500.
The Companion will mount in the Turnoverball which is what will give you the ability to use it. view full answer...

The Curt Gooseneck Hitch # C60730 that you referenced is not specifically described by Curt as being for commercial use. However, in actual practice the 30,000-lb rating of this gooseneck will not be the limiting factor for any application; that will be your truck tow rating.
The 2012 Ram 1500 series pickups, for example, have maximum trailer weight ratings that range from a low of 5050-lbs for the 4 X 2 short box Sport with 5.7L Hemi V8 to the high of 9100-lbs for the Tradesman and Express... view full answer...
