2019 2500-3500 Gooseneck Prep balls

[Daybreak]

Howdy,
2019 Ram 2500 with gooseneck prep is coming.

I need some balls

So the new naming for the ball to finish it out is now called a puck system?

OK, fine. Looking for some opinions for a 2 5/16 heavy duty puck ball kit?
are some better than others?
a preferred manufacturer?

So... I've been doing a lot of reading on the options available. There's quite a bit of a price difference between the options. Best I can tell is the cheaper ones aren't quite as tight as the more expensive ones (Curt is supposedly looser), so if the rattle would bug you, get more expensive. Storage is another thing. Some have a box (Curt/B&W), some store in a pouch (Reese)... Some no storage at all comes with them (eBay). Then there's the way the ball and chain hooks lock in. Some lock with removable pins (Curt), others are built in systems that require a lift and turn retention pin (Reese/B&W). The Curt has a rep as being too big for some chains. After all I've been reading, this is the one I think I've settled on:

B&W all the way. Top quality stuff, and made in Kansas, not Shanghai. I wish they would offer the B&W Turnover Ball gooseneck instead of the goofy puck setup.

Howdy,
OK, I also have been doing some research.

I really like the design. I always have mine greased. Made in USA too.

Thanks for the feedback too. I just had to do some snooping around.

I use the B&W gooseneck ball and chain anchors.

I have the Curt system and doesn’t rattle. Had the one mentioned above but couldn’t hook my 5th wheel hitch over the handles. Had to return for the Curt. $70 mail in rebate when I got mine. Call Etrailer, fast shipping and lowest price.
