No, they do not interfere with the gooseneck hitch. I still have my hitch ball and safety-chain hooks installed in these photos. However, there could be some aftermarket hitches aren't compatible. These rails go in and out in about 2 minutes.
Thankfully, the thread locker wasn't bad on these like they have been on some trucks in the past. Once you get them out the first time, they come in and out pretty easily, depending on your follow-up thread locker plan.
Do you mean something like this for the rear? This is an option for our Ranger kit. We will definitely have a similar setup for the Super Duty.
