Seems problems with using Gooseneck Adapters occurred with poorly welded pin box structures on Lippert Frames in mid-2000
KIT MFG. built quality units.
Doubt you will have issues with that 1996 KIT and a gooseneck.
Especially if pin box is 'short version'
KIT Mfg. started in 1945 out in Long Beach CA
Was sold in 2003 to Extreme Rvs which appears to still be in business making towhaulers
