The Gen-Y Pegasus Shock Absorbing Gooseneck Coupler part # 325-GH-7046 or part # 325-GH-7047 for recessed is designed for round outer tubes with a 4" inner diameter. If this is what the trailer has then it will work well.
In regards to truck clearance, this isn't so easy to predict. It will take measuring from the user as every trailer and gooseneck/truck combo will be different. I have attached a formula below.
(A + B) - C = Clearance
A = Distance from the gooseneck ball to the truck cab
B = Offset
C = Width of the nose of the trailer divided by 2.
If the trailer has a tapered nose this will also improve clearance but there isn't a good way to factor that into the formula above so using your best judgment will be needed here.
