Gooseneck Hitch for 2012 Ram 2500 that Can Use Offset Ball
Question:
Hi, I bought a hitch from you a number of years ago for my 2012 Dodge Ram 2500 Crew Cab Short Bed. The Product code was: 8339-4435. It has worked great. Our new gooseneck strikes the back of the cab on really sharp turns and I would like to shift the ball position back. Is there a replacement ball like GNXA4085 available for this hitch or do I need to replace the coupler on the gooseneck? Thanks, John

Expert Reply:
Hey John, you'd have to go with an all new gooseneck hitch since Draw Tite doesn't have an offset ball for that hitch. You'd need the B and W Gooseneck part # BWGNRK1308 for if you have a gas engine or part # BWGNRK1313 if its a diesel.
Then you could use the offset ball part # BWGNXA4085 which would give you 4 inches of offset.
