I know back in the day when we were looking at fifth wheels, that were built on lippert frames (almost all of the brands!) said that if you use a goose neck for towing.... the frames warranty was void.

Good morning ladies and gents, i have exhausted the interweb and feel like im dumber after than i started... i just took delivery of my new 2500 gasser with ram boxes, crew cab, short bed and am also in the market for a 5th wheel. When this started another "pathway to info" when i posted this question i got the answer of just run a goosebox and everything will be fine, then 2 seconds later was told no way that will never work. The question i have is will a goose box with the b&w extender work on these trucks or do you have to go with standard 5th wheel mount. I have a couple trailers with goose necks already and would like to keep it all the same. I know that theres differences in 5th wheel trailers just cannot find out what will or not work!! PLEASE HELP. Thanks in advance as i know theres lots that goes into this. The trailer we are looking at will be a max of 32-34 feet as thats all we can take to our place in the keys so its not a gigantic trailer by any means. truck will have mopar gooseneck installed next week so thats where we are now...
