Gooseneck Hitch and Fifth Wheel Recommendation for 2004 Dodge Ram 3500 Short Bed
Question:
I have a valley under bed gooseneck hitch 69550 in my 04.5 Dodge 3500 diesel short bed with air bags, I want to install a removable 5th wheel hitch, and still retain the gooseneck, What do I need to purchase ? Thanks,

Expert Reply:
We have options that would allow you to have both a fifth wheel and a gooseneck hitch, but you'd have to remove your Valley hitch as there isn't any fifth wheel hitch setups that will fit with it that we are aware of.
Best option is a B and W setup like the part # BWGNRK1313 for the gooseneck hitch that doubles as the rail kit for a fifth wheel hitch and then for the hitch you'd want the part # BWRVK3400 which is a slider hitch.
