What I believe you are looking for is a product like the B&W Extend-A-Goose Gooseneck Coupler # BWTEXA4200. This will fit nearly all gooseneck hitch balls so it should work well for you in that regard as well as it will fit the standard 4 inch diameter outer tubes.

This will provide you with 10 additional inches between the cab and trailer for better turning clearance.

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…

Hey David, from previous customers of ours who have the same 2020 Keystone Raptor 424 we have determined that your pin box style is the Lippert 1621 which means for a Gen-Y gooseneck adapter you'd want the #GY58GR that you referenced.
