When messing with the hitch and pin box, don't forget to check the PIN BOX clearance with the inside of the truck bed. Lots of people have had issues with the pin box hitting and end up having to trim off the back corners of it. Not a big deal, but can cause damage.

Yes be sure the rear of your pin box is not contacting the inside bed rails of your cover in tight turns. It may be OK on level ground but pose a problem on unlevel ground.
Turning into driveways or turning at places where a hill meets a flat road.
The solution is clipping/cutting off the rear of your pin box or raising the pin box to create more clearance.
I had to do both. Open Range uses and extended pin box which exacerbates the problem. You will need to resolve the contacting problem before getting a new cover. You do not want to damage you new cover. In general you want a cover that requires narrow bed rails that minimally reduce the original width of the truck bed.
