Hello all
Thank you for all the helpful remarks.
Thank you for the non helpful remarks.
I am not a Moron. I just did not do my homework.
What I learned so far from my own research.
The Reese extension is not recommended for use with my B&W Turnover ball.
Yes B&W has a slider But B&W says that on the 2013 Dodge ram 3500 the slider May or may not make contact with my tailgate in the rear position. They are unable to tell me for sure if it will make contact with the tailgate of my truck ???
The Existing Companion hitch has 2 positions for the Main Pin and 3 adjustable positions for the arms that hold the 5th wheel plate.
I adjusted the arms for the 5th wheel plate. and gained 3 inches of extra clearance still not enough to swing the trailer.
the next step is to adjust the Pin that goes into the Socket and changes the orientation of the hitch placement in the bed of the truck
this second change is supposed to give me a total extra 7 extra inches to the rear of the truck. I am hoping that might be enough.
Again thanks for the help. and not so much for the rude comments.
Chris
