Will Convert a Ball Fifth Wheel to Gooseneck Adapter part # CAB-C5G Fit with 22 inch Tall Bed Rail

Question:

my truck bed is 22inch deep. I would like to use the convert-a-ball 5th wheel to Gooseneck adapter but it only goes to 16 inch tall. Any ideas? Thanks...

Pin boxes typically sit down below the top of the bed rails so your rails being taller than the extended height of the Convert a Ball part # CAB-C5G shouldn't be an issue. The shadow in the picture I attached makes it somewhat hard to see but you should be able to tell that the pin box is down below the top of the bed rails and the adapter still works.

Another point to consider is that fifth wheel hitch heights are never as tall as 22 inches. Most are between 13 and 17 inches in height from the bed of the truck they install in.
