Re: Best 5th wheel to a gooseneck hitch
Why do you want to do such a thing? Your trailers frame is designed to be towed from the kingpin height, not 12 or 14 inches below that. It DOES make a difference.
Yes, the short bed truck is another problem to address. You need a slider 5th wheel hitch to create more clearance.

If your 5th is new better check warranty by adding the goose neck extension. Like Ken says you WILL be putting a lot more stress on the king pin area and the bed frame area of the 5ver that will cause failure. It's like adding an extension to a breaker bar. Just not built for it. Go to a good slider hitch, my sons works great.
