I went out to the warehouse and pulled Offset Ball for B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Trailer Hitches # BWGNXA4085 to measure it. The ball itself is about 5 inches tall from the top of the platform. The platform is 3/4 inches thick.

The overall height from the bottom of the square shank to the top of the ball is approximately 9-1/2 inches. Compare these measurements to the ball you are using now.

To use a offset gooseneck ball on your 2021 Ram 3500 you will need to replace the factory gooseneck hitch with a B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch #BWGNRK1320. The B&W hitch mounts in the same place as the factory hitch, and…
