Will Demco Recon 5th Wheel Hitch # DM8550045-5W Work with High Rise Gooseneck Ball
Question:
Can you tell me if this will work with a Husky Tow 2 5/16inch ball #33055 which has a 1inch rise?

Expert Reply:
I spoke with my contact at Demco regarding compatibility of the Demco Recon 5th Wheel Hitch # DM8550045-5W and the Husky OEM gooseneck ball you mentioned that has a 1 inch rise. He said that unfortunately the Recon will only work with a standard height gooseneck ball (4 inches) so one with a rise will not allow for a secure connection.
In order to use this hitch you would need to replace your existing ball with a standard size like the Curt # C60601.
