Help With Hitch on New Truck
I need assistance from those that may have had the same problem. I have a 5er that used to be towed with a 2005 Dodge Quad Long bed. Recently I snagged a "used" 2014 Chevy 3500HD dually.(only 7000 miles and also long bed)) I need to get more clearance when hooked. I was backing into my parking space and not cranked off very far and something around the pin box bumped the top of the bed rail. This truck has the covered bed rails.
I was too ignorant to stop and look to see exactly what got into the tonneau cover rail as it just scuffed it. I have had my hitch rails from the Dodge reinstalled with new brand specific hardware. I installed the A frame and then the 5er hitch plate. The hitch is set in the highest hole. It is a Reese Pro Series 5th wheel hitch. I am open for suggestions on how to raise the hitch height of the 5th wheel plate. I have had suggestion to drop the pin box down to raise the height of the hitch plate and pin, then cut off the part of the angle. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
