Overview
The B&W Hitch Hi-Rise ball, part number GNXA2050, is a 2-5/16 inch trailer ball made as an accessory for the Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch. It stands 1 inch taller than a standard ball and is machined for a tight, rattle-free fit in the socket.
This ball is universal fit, so it is not tied to one truck or trailer. Its square base touches the round part of the socket only at the corners, which is part of how the design works.

- Square ball base seats at the corners in the round socket
- Corner-only contact lets dirt fall through the socket, reducing the chance the ball seizes up
- Raw finish
- Weight rating 20,000
Gooseneck hitch ball basics
A gooseneck ball carries the weight of the trailer’s front end, so it needs to match both the coupler size and the load it will carry. Check that the ball’s rating covers the loaded trailer, not just the empty weight. Trailer height and hitch height also change how the ball sits, so measure the level before adding the ball.
Wear on a gooseneck ball shows up as flat spots, pitting and a loose feel in the socket. Corrosion can make the ball stick, which is part of why the square base design lets dirt drop through the socket. Light lubrication on the ball and socket helps the parts turn smoothly without collecting grit.
- Wipe grit from the socket after each trip
- Check the ball for flat spots before towing
- Replace the ball if the surface is pitted
