4" Offset Ball for B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Trailer Hitches - BWGNXA4085

Average Customer Rating:  4.8 out of 5 stars   (265 Customer Reviews)

Designed for use with B&W's Turnoverball gooseneck hitch, this ball extender moves the pivot point of your trailer 4" rearward to provide additional cab clearance.

This product is exactly what I needed to offset our new “Reese Goose-box” pin box to better accommodate the clearance for the fuel tank and tool box in the bed of our truck. Thanks to the knowledge of the “etrailer” staff (specifically Stacy) she went the extra mile, taking additional time to assure all the products I needed were perfect for my application. Thank you Stacy for all your assistance and patience with my order.
P.S. I added the yellow strip down the center of the pin box to help guide me when hooking up. Perhaps “Reese” will add this little idea to their future pin boxes as an option?

This product works great and allows so much more usable room in the bed than our previous 5th wheel hitch which, was becoming too heavy to remove frequently when needing to haul materials.

@Dean We're happy to hear that the # BWGNXA4085 offset gooseneck ball is working well for you.


by:

I have a 8ft bed but when hooking up and working around the truck with camper hooked up it was difficult... with this ball I can open all the front Compartments. Pulling the toyhauler feels better to.. we have the goosebox 20k on the toyhauler.



by:

I have used this offset ball in the B&W gooseneck hitch I installed in my regular box 2022 Chevy 3500 to tow our 13K GVWR fifth wheel with Reese Goosebox for over six months now and I love it! The offset ball combined with the placement of the hitch in a 2020+ Chevy means I can turn a full 90 degrees if necessary. And fully loaded, our truck is still within specs on all weight ratings, including rear axle weight.



by:

The 4 inch offset ball is very heavy made. I have no concern hauling a trailer with this.



by:

After installing the Gen Y Executive gooseneck hitch on our 5th wheel camper I needed more clearance in my 2016 GMC 6.5' truck bed. I already have the B&W Turnover hitch on my truck and this gave me 4" offset to the rear of my truck and 2" of lift. After 1 year of using this setup I am very pleased with the ride and towing.



by:

Etrailer is awesome! They always have what I need, great prices, great customer service, great product, just like the gooseneck extension Ijust received. Shipping was amazingly fast too.



by:

The test will be when I hook up a trailer. My customer service was fantastic.



by:

I haven’t used it yet, I am concerned about it being about 3/4” off the bed. I am thinking about pupping a spacer between it and the bed. Worried about it bending

Thanks for your review. This gap is normal since it fits a few different vehicles. It is safe and should not bend. You can put a washer there for peace of mind, but as long as you do not go over the weight capacity, it is not necessary.



by:

Love how well this works. There are some offsets that are bigger but this worked well. I have a 5th wheel that has a gooseneck adapter and this gives me in my short bed truck a little bit more turning radius.



by:

Great website. Easy to navigate and order prompt shipping



by:

High Quality, Heavy duty 4” offset ball mount that works perfectly with the B&W turnover gooseneck hitch system. Adapted my 30’’ fifth wheel trailer with the Ranch regular gooseneck adapter—now no more heavy lifting and lots more room in the truck bed.



by:

Fast shipping... The B&W 4in extension hitch ball is really good. I have used it a couple of times works great wish I had gotten one sooner. Problem I had was in a newer 2500hd the gooseneck was to close to toolbox and really close to rear window. With this extender ball problem is solved...



by:

My order was lost in transit and replaced immediately, no questions asked. Thank you!



by:

Great product and what I needed for a mega cab to pull Rv camper with goose box



by:

This product works great for short bed truck. This product gives you more turning radius with out knocking your back window out.
Truck is a 2500 Ram, pulling 42ft gooseneck.



by:

Great product, and perfect fit. Gave me the perfect offset that I needed to keep my trailer from hitting the cab. Highly recommend if you have a short wheel base truck and pulling a deck over gooseneck trailer!



by:

BW always excellent quality.



by:

Welds are nice and clean. Does exactly what it’s designed to do.



by:

Well made, solid and fits good.



by:

this offset ball has helped towing my fifth wheel, keeping it away from the truck cab when turning or backing tight. I would highly recommend this.

Has been extremely great

Carlos G.

A year has passed, and I rely and enjoy using this product, I never tow without it. For those campers that doubt their tight turns and backing maneuvers, this product will put you at ease.



by:

Used with Ram 2500 short bed . Great product, works perfect. The offset allows cab and tool box clearance while pulling our 5th wheel camper. I have used etrailer with other purchases . They have always delivered on time and have provided good customer service. Thanks etrailer



by:

Strongly built and helps provide needed clearance.

Ball is still in great shape and has performed as described. It has helped improve my turning capabilities greatly!

Works perfectly!!!

Scott

8/25/2023

Offset ball has been great, no issues and very well built quality unit



by:

I have a 2005 F 250 crew cab short box. I changed from a 5th wheel for simplicity and ease of switching from a trailer to a slide in camper. So, this is all I have to remove in order to be able to put the camper on. I am getting older and this is just enough weight to carry around. The offset is perfect to jackknife the trailer. The towing with this set up is way better than the fifth wheel. Way more solid feeling and no clunking. I should have done this years ago.

Jim

11/4/2018

Excellent. Like it - Will never go back to a fifth wheel.



by:

Awesome hitch and haven’t smashed my back window. Also love the customer service at etrailer! I will definitely be a returning customer for my future trailer needs.

  • Is The Gooseneck Trailer Hitch For 2024 GMC Sierra 2500 Duramax Compatible w/ Air Bag Helper Springs
    Yes, the Curt Custom Underbed OEM-Style Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # C60642 you found is going to be compatible with Air Bag Helper Springs # F2613 on your 2024 GMC Sierra 2500. Do understand the gooseneck ball you found uses an OE style ball which limits use on your short bed truck. A better option would be to use the B&W Turnover # BWGNRK1020. I prefer the B&W as it has the made in the USA quality with a lifetime warranty and a reputation for quality and support. It allows you to easily...

  • Can the Reese Goose Box Be Used With a Ram 3500 Short Bed
    The newest Reese Goose Box, like the # RP85FR, can definitely be used with your Ram 3500 that has a 6-1/2 foot bed. However, this will not extend back any further than a standard pin box and will measure 17-3/4" from the center of the coupler to the center of the first mounting hole, so you will need to be careful when turning. One way to help get more room between the front of your trailer and the back of the truck's cab will be to use an offset gooseneck ball, like the 4" Offset Ball...

  • Recommended Gooseneck Hitch For 2022 Ford F-250 To Tow Trailer W/ Reese Goose Box Installed
    For your 2022 Ford F-250 I recommend going with the B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch # BWGNRK1116 due to it being a top of the line gooseneck hitch, but also due to it being compatible with a 4" offset ball, the # BWGNXA4085. With your truck being a short bed you will likely not be able to make very sharp turns as the Reese Goose Box was designed around an 8' bed, but you can measure to see how much clearance you will have. The formula is : (A + B) - C = Clearance A = Distance from...

  • Best Gooseneck Hitch To Use Reese Goose Box 2020 Chevy Silverado 3500 Short Bed
    The Reese Goose Box 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Air Ride Coupler Adapter like part # RP85FR is designed for use on long bed trucks. That said, it can be used on short bed trucks but you may then have limited turning clearance. The amount of turning clearance varies from trailer to trailer so measuring is a must. If you wish to use the Reese Goose Box 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Air Ride Coupler Adapter on a 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 then the best option is the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck...

  • Will Reese Goosebox Have Enough Clearance in 2011 F-250 With Auxiliary Fuel Tank
    The B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNRK1111 combined with the 4" Offset Ball # BWGNXA4085 will give you enough clearance. Since Reese has had stock issues you may not be able to find a Goosebox from them. However, the Gen-Y is a great option that will work just as well. To choose the correct model you will need to know your bolt pattern and tongue weight. Gen-Y uses the formula GVWR x 0.22 = Tongue weight. Once you have this information you can choose the correct...

  • Is There a Taller Gooseneck Ball Available for B&W Turnoverball Hitch
    There are two options you can use for a bit of added height when using your B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Hitch # BWGNRK1016. You can get an extra 1" by using the High-Rise Ball for B&W Turnoverball # BWGNXA2050. You can also use the B&W Turnoverball with 4" Offset # BWGNXA4085, which is roughly 5-3/4" tall (1-11/16" taller) from the base of the truckbed to the top of the ball. This gooseneck ball has a 4" offset, so it will move the hitch ball 4" further away from your truck cab,...

    Reese and B and W are considered the two industry leaders in the gooseneck and fifth wheel world. There seems to be a never-ending debate on which is the better of the two. Either would work well for you in terms of quality, but for what you are specifically looking for the B and W route would be better since there is an offset adapter available for the gooseneck hitch ball, part # BWGNXA4085. The correct gooseneck hitch part number for your vehicle would then be the part # BWGNRK1111-5W....

  • Will the Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter Work With 4" Offset Ball for B&W
    The Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter part # DM8550045 won't work with the 4" Offset Ball for B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Trailer Hitches part # BWGNXA4085 because of the added thickness it adds to the bed. There isn't any sort of way to get extra turning clearance with the Demco Recon. That said, it would still work on short bed models but you would most likely have reduced turning clearance depending on the shape of the trailer nose.

  • Is There Way to Gain Additional Turning Clearance with Reese Goose Box Pin Box Adapter
    When using a Goose Box like the part # RP85FR the only way to gain additional clearance would be with an offset ball like the B and W part # BWGNXA4085. There isn't a way to install the Goose Box in a way that would allow it to have any additional clearance for short bed truck turning.

  • Will a Short Bed 2022 Ford F-350 Allow For Full Turning Clearance With 4 Offset Ball And Goose Box?
    My recommendation is to go with the long bed for your 2022 Ford F-350 SRW truck. This is the best way to ensure that you have the clearance that you need for turning the Grand Design Solitude 2930. The Solitude has a 101" wide body design which means that you need at least 50-1/2" from your gooseneck ball center to the cab for a full jackknife turn. On a Short Bed you will have close to 40" so even with a 4" Offset ball like the # BWGNXA4085 this will only get you to 44". The B&W Turnoverball...

    I checked with B&W and the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch part # BWGNRK1319 is a fit for a 2023 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel. In regards to the short bed, this won't be an issue as far as fit goes but it might create problems with turning clearance on certain trailer which is why I recommend adding the 4" Offset Ball for B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Trailer Hitches part # BWGNXA4085.

    You are correct, the 5th Airborne Sidewinder like # RP61412 is not recommended to use with the B&W Companion 5th-wheel trailer hitches that mount in the Turnoverball gooseneck hole. The reason is that the sidewinder puts too much stress and pressure on the attachment point. However, I do have a few options to get better turning clearance for your 2012 Ram, and a cushioned pin box for your toy hauler. One option is to use your B&W with 4" Offset Ball for B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Trailer...

For your 2020 Ram 2500, the best gooseneck is the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch with Custom Installation Kit # BWGNRK1320. The Turnoverball hitch is the best in the industry because it has a square base for its hitch ball which ensures optimal strength and durability. What that means is the ball isn't going to turn when you are driving, keeping...

If your trailer has a rounded front or an offset coupler like # BWTEXA4200 then that wouldn't be necessary, but in most cases with that short bed it is wise.
