Yet another hitch question

Background: Have 2013 CC Ford F250, 4x4, long bed with the camper package which includes the extra heavy service front springs, auxiliary rear springs and read stabalizer bar. Should handle the Reflection 303 with ease. I have ordered the B&W BVK3300 (typing from memory, if I got this number wrong, don't worry I double checked and did order the correct hitch ) hitch to fit my factory installed 5th wheel hitch (puck system).

Truck Numbers: Highest Point Tailgate) = 54.5 inches. From ground to bed of truck = 34.5 inches.

Question: The Reflection 303FLS when level has an overhang of 61.5 inches. My truck side rails at the highest point, tailgate, is 54.5 inches, giving me the minimum 6 inch clearance. Correct?
Question: The king pin plate is set at 49.5 inches. The truck bed measures at the bottom to ground at 34.5 inches. If I install the hitch so the plate is at 51.5 inches, this would give me the 49.5 inches to kingpin plus 2 inch sag. Correct? Am I missing anything here? Just trying to get the hitch setup prior to picking up the new trailer.

Thanks,
Don

Well Don, the numbers seem right, but what works on paper isn't always the same result when hooked up. That should get you close though. If I was going to error, I would set the hitch a little high for the trip home just in case.

You are going to love that hitch! It is an easy adjust, for up/down, and ahead/back.
