Here's a Ram video on YouTube the guy does quite a few and is pretty good. The front cap on his trailer is similar to a 303. Pay attention watching videos and reading reviews many post are with the B&W hitch and B&W 4" offset ball.

Here is our Ram 3500 Megacab with our 31MB with the B&W 4” offset ball.

As has been mentioned, the discussion about the Reese goose box in short bed trucks is critically dependent on whether one use an offset ball or not. If I could use the offset ball, I would not hesitate because it would closely mimic the Andersen; I cannot because I have the factory puck system which has a round hole and no known way to use a square shank or keyed ball. Ideally someone with a Ram shorted (6'4") and a 303RLS could chime in here. The further we depart from that example I get less sure. Perhaps all Reflections of the last few years have the same radius cap, but do they differ in other ways such as the cap overhang measurement?

I will continue to monitor in case someone decides to experiment and share. If it was not so expensive to try different pin boxes...

I understand where you are coming from and was in the same position. I have the factory prep 5th wheel package in my Ram. I purchased the B&W Turnover hitch and replaced the OEM hitch.

Ah! I wondered about something like that, but did not know how feasible it was. I have the factory air system too. How involved was it to put in the Turnover hitch, and cost if I might ask?

I don’ t have the factory air system, so can’t comment on if that will be an issue. I think I paid ~$700 for the hitch + install and they said it was pretty easy. Everything lines up with the factory system so it looks stock and I preserved the puck system if I every decide to use it. Attached pic is right after install with the included square shank ball. I purchased the offset ball and have solely used that so far for pulling the 5er.
