I had the same issue with my b&w patriot hitch and 2013 f250 longbed It turns out all i had to do was take the head of the hitch off pull the pins out take the hitch off the rails , turn it around 180 degrees on the rails put the pins back in , put the head back on , swap the spring that levels the head to the new location and now i have about 4" of clearance from tailgate to trailer when hitching up. In other words I guess i had it on back to front
After doing that, where is your pin relative to your rear axle? Seems like the pin might now be behind the axle. It should be forward of the axle, but I know some people get away with having it set back.
I think it WAS behind, now in front. If you have the base mounted 180 degrees from normal, then it could be behind the axle..
the base is 'supposed' to display the B&W logo from the rear.
