    Gooseneck to Back Bumper Clearance

    Anyone here running a gooseneck trailer? Wondering what the back bumper to gooseneck ball clearance is needed. We have a 16' flatbed F550 we'd like to tow a 20' dump trailer with, just want to make sure I have enough clearance off the flatbed.

    I could be wrong but I think the 550 would come with the frame ready to accept a goose neck hitch. Might be able to get the measuments from the frame mounts?

    Yeah I measured off the stock mounting points like 6' to back of the deck. Guess I need to go measure the trailers we're looking at to see what the tongue spread is on them.
