Is There an Offset Hitch Ball for the Ram Factory Prep Package
Question:
want to tow older, 96inch wide, 5er with new ram 2500 64inch box. I dont have options for a turret as my fifth wheel uses the oddball RBW 7027 pinbox. Does anyone make a 4 to 5inch offset 2 5/16 ball TO FIT AND LOCK INTO THE FACTORY RAM gooseneck receiver? was hoping to use offset in conjunction with the BandW 10inch extender to achieve a 51/52inch TOTAL Cab/axle clearance. RAM docs show a 37+/- stock C/A dimension, and I assume they locate the receiver directly over the rear axle. No way, no how I do a slider setup! Thanks.

I do have an option for you but there are no offset gooseneck hitch balls for the factory prep package. The only option we can offer you and I do mean only is a sliding fifth wheel hitch. The fifth wheel hitch we offer with the most amount of travel is Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # DM8550040 which is an automatic sliding fifth wheel hitch that offers up to 22-1/2" of front to back travel.
