Helpful Expert Reply:
Your best option will be to swap out the Curt gooseneck hitch to the correct B and W hitch for your truck the part # BWGNRK1016 which will allow you to use the Companion hitch you have now like part # BWRVK3500. This will enable you to use basically the best fifth wheel hitch on the market so while it might be a hassle to uninstall the hitch you have now and reinstall the Turnoverball it will be worth it.
I attached an install video for this kit for you to check out as well.
