5th Wheel/Gooseneck Hitch Combo Recommendation for 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 Long Bed
Question:
Is there an under bed puck bracket for a fifth wheel-Goose neck for my 2006 Dodge 2500 4x4 8 bed

There are a few options for you to add a gooseneck and 5th wheel hitch combo to your 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 with the long bed. You have the B&W Companion # BWRVK3500-5W with the gooseneck hitch # BWGNRK1313-5W or the Draw-Tite Hi-Rise # 9480-5W with the gooseneck hitch # 9464-35-5W.
I recommend going with the B&W for a few reasons; the connection point between the hitches is superior because it uses a square shank that stays still as opposed to the circular connection of the Draw-Tite that is a little more prone to movement, the B&W uses dual 1" thick jaws as opposed to the 1-jaw system of the Draw-Tite, the B&W is made in the USA and backed with a lifetime warranty while the Draw-Tite only comes with a 2-year warranty.
