Will a B&W Turnoverball Work on a 2014 Ram 2500 With Above Bed Rails
Question:
I was wondering if I can install the BWGNRK1384 in my 2014 Ram 2500 short 6foot bed with my 5th wheel rails that are already installed in the truck?

In order to install the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch part # BWGNRK1384 on your 2014 Ram 2500 you will have no other option but to remove the above bed base rails you have now as they will not work with the B&W Turnoverball. That said, I think this is worth it because the B&W Turnoverball is largely considered to be one of the best gooseneck hitches on the market and you can easily go back and forth between gooseneck and 5th wheel trailers using the B&W Companion Slider Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter part # BWRVK3400.
If you don't want to get rid of your above bed base rails and you need to tow a gooseneck trailer then you can just use the Reese Above-Bed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch part # RP58079 so long as you have the two slots spaced 10" apart (left to right) on center which almost all do.
