Reese Goose Box Dimensions for Proper Trailer Ride Height with Truck Gooseneck Hitch
Question:
Whats the recommended ball height for the Reese goose box. I have a flatbed with a flush mounted Curt hide away ball that is 41inch to the bed height, and 43.5inch to top of the ball. Im buying a 2019 palomino puma unleashed 384fqs toy hauler, under 16k gross. Thanks

The Goose Box Doesn't specifiy the height required from the ground to the ball. Instead it specifies the height from the coupler connection to the front bottom bolt where the pin box attaches. I've attached photos of these dimensions to assist with the Goose Box # RP85FR.
Bed height can be adjusted at the pin box bolts, with the angle of the connection on the Goose Box, or at the axles of the trailer itself to find the proper fit for your truck and trailer.

I have a 2017 ram 3500 stock height with rails instead of oem puck system. Right now I have a B&W patriot slider and with the Hitch all the way on the lowest setting my 5th wheel is still too high in the nose. I've exhausted my options with the sales team about lifting my 5th wheel to make it more level going down the road. I also have a offset gooseneck ball that goes into my rails I use for my equipment trailers. My question is, will the goosebox actually give me "lower" settings that my lippert 1621 pin box on the "highest" settings and the 17.5" hitch height? Side note, I would love to stop taking a heavy hitch in and out of my truck.
