Is this right For you? Product Expert Kathleen M says:
Yes, if you:
Have a lifted truck and need the shortest hitch ball to make sure your trailer rides level
Haul a very heavy trailer or just like the idea of having the most overbuilt option
Like the sleek look of the flush, integrated handle on this hitch ball
No, if you:
Plan to remove these often - the hitch ball and snap ring pins on the safety chain loops have been known to seize up
Have smaller safety chain hooks - you may not be able to get them to fit around these thick loops
Hate when the hitch ball starts to wear out - this chrome plating tends to wear off quickly

Perfect company to order from! Came in on time...

We do have the Curt gooseneck ball and safety chain kit that fits your Ford F-250 with the OEM puck system in the bed, though it's a different part number than the one you mentioned, which is for Ram trucks. Instead, the correct part for your Ford is the following:
- Curt Ball and Safety Chain Loop Kit # C38CR
The Curt # C38CR is a really nice choice for your Ford as the hitch ball is simple to use with its integrated lever in the head that you just have to lift to install or remove the... view full answer...
For your 2019 Chevy Silverado 3500 short bed with the OEM rail kit the Curt gooseneck ball part # C38CR is the correct fit for a 38k capacity ball or for a lower capacity we have the part # C60692 for a 30k capacity. view full answer...
The Demco Recon fifth wheel hitch adapter part # DM8550045 that you referenced can fit basically any hitch ball that is shorter than 5 inches in height above the truck bed which the part # C38CR we offer is compatible with so it would be your best choice. view full answer...
The Curt # C38CR 38K capacity gooseneck ball removes from the hitch itself by flipping up the center latch, then rotating it. This takes the spring tension off the ball bearings that hold the ball in place, allowing the ball to be easily lifted out off the hitch, as shown in the linked video.
The B&W # BWGNXA2061 system uses the handle, as you described and has a 30K capacity. The handle is lifted and the ball rotated at which time you can lift the ball out of the hitch, I've also linked... view full answer...
The B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit # BWGNXA2061 is going to be the kit I recommend. This kit includes a 2-5/16" hitch ball that is rated for 30,000lbs. The reason I prefer this kit is that it has the folding handle that is used to lock the ball in the factory in bed prep/puck system on your 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 3500. This will help keep your hands clean when it is time to remove the ball.
The Curt Ball and Safety Chain Loop Kit # C38CR is rated for 38,000lbs of trailer capacity. The... view full answer...
I'd be glad to help with that.
The Curt # C60692 and # C38CR are very similar, with the difference between the two being the capacity of the gooseneck ball. The # C38CR has a ball rated at up to 38K, while the # C60692 is rated for up to 30K. Both gooseneck balls are installed and removed using the latch located atop the ball.
The B&W # BWGNXA2061 is rated for 30K and uses a different latch setup. The latch is engaged using a handle that sits lower down on the ball. Both the Curt and... view full answer...
There are a few differences between the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit # BWGNXA2061 and the Curt Ball and Safety Chain Kit # C38CR for your 2022 GMC Sierra 3500 (8-foot bed with OEM prep). Apart from the 38k pound capacity of the Curt and the 30k pound weight capacity of the B&W, the B&W ball has an integrated handle that gives you a better grip when installing/removing the ball. Also, the Curt kit comes with hooks that attach to the ends of the safety chains while the B&W kit require you... view full answer...
The Curt # C38CR Gooseneck Ball for the Ford OEM tow/prep package has a 38K capacity, which would be limited by the actual towing capacity of the truck itself. The truck's towing capacity can vary according to the bed length, whether the vehicle is a 2 or 4WD, or by the cab style and the gear ratio of the rear differential.
This being said, since the GVWR of the trailer you'll be dealing with is 23,900, you could also use the 30K capacity B&W # BWGNXA2061 which would be my personal preference.... view full answer...
I have a solution for you but since the B and W gooseneck ball # BWGNXA2061 is a high rise type ball that sits up higher it can not be used with the Demco Recon part # DM8550045 that you referenced.
Instead you could use it with the # C38CR which fits your truck. view full answer...
I do have a few alternate options that may interest you, but as the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit # BWGNXA2061 is considered a High-Rise ball, it cannot be used with the Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter # DM8550045, unfortunately.
If you had your heart set on the Demco Recon, which I do like and is the lightest of this style adapter, you can use the Curt Ball and Safety Chain Loop Kit # C38CR. This is not a high-rise style ball so there will be no issue with the... view full answer...
