B and W Gooseneck Hitch Recommendation for a 2006 Dodge Ram Mega Cab Short Bed

Question

Question:

I want to order the BWGNRK1308 for my 06 Dodge 2500 Mega-Cab. Will this unit work with the Magna-Flow MF18997 dual exhaust system? If not, are there any alternatives?

You should be fine but you would want to check the way the exhaust installs on your truck relative to the truck frame. If the exhaust portion that curves up to go over the axle of your truck does not come up higher than the frame members of your truck the Gooseneck Hitch part # BWGNRK1308 should fit and work just fine on your 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 Mega Cab with 6 foot bed.
