Gooseneck to Back Bumper Clearance

[Laffs]

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.

sorry. you want the measurements from the trailer. duh my bad. lol I would assume they are a standard length. but you know what they say about assuming.
