  • Replacement Round Gooseneck Coupler With Inner & Outer Tube
  • I can absolutely understand not wanting to have to cut off the entire tube, but there just isn't an option for a tube with a coupler that goes over your 4" diameter tube. The reason for that is the inner tubing - the part with the coupler - on standard goosenecks now are 4" diameter so they wouldn't be able to go over the tube. So you will need to remove your current tube and install a new gooseneck coupler with an inner and outer tube, and you can choose from a couple, depending on the...

  • Offset Gooseneck Ball for Ford F-450 with Factory Gooseneck Ball
  • I have a solution for you, but there isn't an offset ball that fits the Ford factory gooseneck hitch. However, depending on the design of your gooseneck coupler, you may be able to use the B&W Extend-A-Goose # BWTEXA4200. This coupler features a 10 inch offset to provide the clearance you're looking for from the truck cab. If you are towing a 5th wheel with your gooseneck ball, then the Ranch Hitch Universal 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Coupler Adapter w/8" Offset for Short-Bed Trucks # AM3139....

  • Offset Gooseneck Ball Compatibility with Ford F-350 with Factory 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Prep Package
  • Reese, who makes the factory gooseneck hitch for Ford trucks, does not currently offer a compatible offset gooseneck ball. However, another option is using an offset coupler, such as the B&W Extend-A-Goose Gooseneck Coupler, # BWTEXA4200. It features a 10-inch offset, which is more than the offset provided by the gooseneck balls, which offer an offset of 4 to 5 inches. The Extend-A-Goose fits a 2-5/16 inch ball and has an outer diameter of 4 inches. I've attached a video review of the...

  • Offset Gooseneck Ball for OEM Gooseneck Hitch on 2018 Ram 3500
  • If your Ram has the in-bed OEM goosneck hitch, there isn't an offset ball like # BWGNXA4085 available. The OEM hitch uses a ball with a round shank. If an offset ball were used, you could have two pivot points between the truck and the trailer, the point where the ball meets the coupler and the point where the ball meets the hitch. This would lead to an unsafe situation. I'd recommend going with an offset coupler like the # BWTEXA4200 from B&W which provides 10 inches of offset. The coupler...

  • Which Gooseneck Coupler for 25900-lbs Gooseneck Trailer
  • I have a solution for you, but the Gen-Y Spartan # 325-GH-7002 only has a capacity of 25000-lbs, so you're really going to be pushing it if your trailer is ever close to the GVWR. Instead, I recommend using the Convert-A-Ball Multi-Cushioned Gooseneck Trailer Coupler - Round - 30,000 lbs # CG, which is also a cushioned gooseneck coupler but it has the capacity to safely handle your 25900-lbs GVWR trailer.

  • Recommended Trailer Locks for Bumper Pull Trailers and Gooseneck Trailer That Can Be Keyed Alike
  • I have a solution for you, but there is not a set of coupler locks for a gooseneck trailer and traditional coupler that can be keyed the same. However, there are some options that can be keyed alike within their application so if you needed more traditional coupler locks in the future those could be keyed like the first one. For the trailers you've got with traditional couplers I recommend using the Fastway Universal Trailer Coupler Lock for 1-7/8", 2" and 2-5/16" Couplers # FA86-0015-316,...

  • Gooseneck Hitch Tube for 4-Inch Gooseneck Tubing
  • It sounds like your gooseneck trailer is fitted with a square coupler/adapter tube such as # BD0289650300. This adapter fits a 4-inch inner diameter square gooseneck tube and provides a 5th wheel king pin to fit into a 5th wheel hitch. If you want to return the trailer to a gooseneck tube for a 2-5/16-inch ball you can use 4-inch square inner tube Bulldog BX1 Gooseneck Coupler # BD1289210300.

  • Preventing Theft Of 5th Wheel Trailer Using Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-To-Goosenck Adapter
  • The traditional gooseneck coupler locks like the # BLTL-53-40D2 will not work on this adapter. We do have a few solutions though that will help with theft reduction though. First you can loosen the set screw that holds the inner coupler tube in, remove the coupler, and then store it in a locked vehicle or other location. If the coupler part isn't there no one will be able to come and steal your trailer when you're not around it. Another more traditional option would be using the Super...

  • Does Gen-Y Gooseneck Coupler with Torsion Suspension and 5-1/2 Inch Offset Improve Turning Clearnace
  • This Gen-Y gooseneck coupler, part # 325-GH-7002, replaces the current coupler on your trailer and provides 5-1/2 inches of offset. The offset moves the trailer back 5 inches to provide more clearance between your truck and trailer when executing sharp turns. The biggest benefit of this coupler are the torsion flex cords that absorb the shock of your trailer. This makes your ride much smoother, which is better on you and your trailer.
