Gooseneck Hitch Recommendation for a 1997 Ford F-350

Question:

I have a 1997 F350 2wd crew cab with overload springs with a generic stake body. Will your hitch work since the bed of the stake body is a little higher than the stock bed, and also, it is a wooden bed which makes it higher yet.

For a gooseneck hitch for your 1997 Ford F-350 with overload springs you would want the B and W gooseneck hitch part # BWGNRK1110 as long as your bed does not attach to the truck frame near the centerline of the axle. This will fit your truck, but the ball height will designed for the height of a truck with a stock height truck bed. You would need to cut out a recessed portion of the bed to allow access to the hitch ball.
