Will a 5th Wheel Trailer hitch Installation Kit Interfere with a B and W Gooseneck Trailer Hitch
Question:
I have the BandW Flip Gooseneck hitch on my 06 Chevy 3500. Will I need to remove the BandW to properly install the new rails?

You will most likely need to remove the B and W hitch in order to install the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit, # C16418-204. The issue is that the two kits will use the same mounting locations so they would interfere with one another. I have included a link to the installation instructions for the 5th wheel kit for you to view and compare to your current setup.
The other option is to use the Hi-Rise Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter, # 9480. This hitch will fit a B and W turn over ball style gooseneck trailer hitch. With this hitch you will be able to keep the gooseneck hitch. I have included a link to the installation instructions for this hitch.
