Ordered and took delivery of the 20k Goose Box. Arrived NOT strapped to a pallet. Box opened (looks like it took a tumble in the delivery truck). The tab to retain the cable was bent and the paint cracked. I hope TowUniverse is helpful in the fix to this issue

That might be a carrier issue. I also ordered from Tow Universe and the box was strapped to a pallet and in excellent condition. I'm curious how they handle this for you, I had excellent results from their service. I ordered a 16k Goosebox, they sent me the 20k and let me keep it for the same price. I imagine they didnt want to pay to ship it back and then send the correct one.

Umph! You might be stuck dealing with it as a claim through the carrier. When mine was drop-shipped to the dealer, the service manager sent me a picture to confirm receipt condition. It was strapped with 4 bands to the center of a pallet and shrink wrapped for good measure.

The only way to find out if you need a taller gooseball is to install the GooseBox on your camper and then hook it up to your truck. Once you have it hooked up, you can measure your rail clearance and determine how level your camper sits with the truck.
If you decide you need more rail clearance, you have two choices, get a taller gooseball, or lower the mounting position of the GooseBox (or both in extreme cases).
One word of caution, do not torque down your GooseBox bolts until you are satisfied with the mounting position, those bolts are not reusable after being torqued down.
FYI: On my 310GK and 2019, DRW, Longbed F350 I used the taller B&W GooseBall and the rail clearance was perfect the first time we coupled the truck and 5th Wheel together (note: GooseBox was 20k, Gen 2 model).David and Peggy

Speaking of the B&W GooseBall and the Goosebox - When the GooseBall ios inserted into the center puck of my F450, there is a very small gap (1/32", probably less) between the GooseBall shaft and the inside wall of the puck. I can move the ball back and forth by hand. When accelerating or decelerating, or crossing bridge expansion joints, that small amount of play results in a large clunk/chucking. I contacted B&W and sent them a video. They said it appears to be within spec. Anyone else with this setup have the same issue? Is it normal?
