1.5 pages before the B&W crowd start taking over!!! Good job for holding off this long
We did the adapter flip with the Mor ride om ny FIL's 5er. He was coming in contact with the bed rails on his 12 Ram SB. The 4" difference was just enough to clear the pinbox corners when hard turning. BTW, with this configuration we got close to 88 degrees of turn before I got nervous.
I am going to get the new adapter for him prett quick so he can get that funnel installed.

Chris you can get the Funnel adapter anytime by contacting Andersen customer service ([email protected]). The instructions describe removing the 2 bolts that secure the adapter to the kingpin and also removing the lock cable where it screws into the adapter. The Funnel then slips over the adapter. Lastly you then you reinsert and tighten the 2 bolts and reinsert and tighten the lock cable. Its pretty easy and will work for anyone that has the Ultimate. They were charging current Ultimate owners just $32 for the Funnel add on. Also, be sure and give them the serial number off the Ultimate frame. That will tell them if they need to include a ball replacement also. When they came out with the funnel, they extended the ball's neck to provide additional clearance to the funnel skirt. Note the truck bed to ball top distance did not change, just the neck design.
