Gooseneck Ball Recommendation for 2018 RAM 3500
Question:
Hello, Just purchased by RAM 3500. I need a gooseneck ball with the maximum towing capacity. I need the chain attachments along with the ball. Please recommend one. I noticed two 30,000 lb balls. Do you have any with 31,000 lbs or higher?

Expert Reply:
The highest capacity hitch ball we have for your 2018 Ram is 30k like the Curt ball part # C60618 which comes with safety chain loops.
Your truck is most likely not rated for towing over 30k so having a hitch ball rated higher wouldn't gain you additional capacity as you are only as strong as the weakest component in your towing setup. I attached an install video for this kit for you to check out as well that shows it installed in a similar 2017 Ram.
