Helpful Expert Reply:

Yes, the pop-in style gooseneck trailer hitch balls are cross compatible between the different factory puck systems from Ford, Ram, GM, and Nissan. For this, we have a few options such as the Curt Pop-In Ball part # C60629 which has a rise built-in or the Curt Pop-In Ball part # C60601 which does not.
