B&W companion setup

just got a deal on a companion 5th wheel hitch to go with My B&W G/N hitch. but have a few questions for any users out there. seems to be a lot of hitch weight being placed on the bed floor, or am I misjudging?
also should there be any reinforcing done under the bed under the rear section of the hitch area, and do these hitches move around any while towing? I havent used it yet, just made sure the height was correct and the pin location is correct. and I know that the ubolts and pull down bolts must be torqued correctly. anything else. i was using a Curt 16k with bed rails until now.

The B&W goose-neck hitch already has cross member supports running between the truck frame rails below the truck bed floor to support the weight. Since you are buying it used, be sure the thin rubber pads are still attached to the bottom of the four corners of the Companion base plate, as they help to keep it from shifting on the steel deck of your truck bed. Just install it, torque the bolts to B&W specs, and enjoy!
