Are There Longer Pivot Arms for the B&W Companion Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch
Question:
I have a BandW Companion hitch but the uprights are too short for my truck. It was a 2005 Silverado and now on a 2016. I have adjusted them all the way up. Are there longer uprights available? Thanks

It sounds like you're referring to the pivot arms on the B&W Companion Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter like part # BWRVK3500. If that's the case then no, their are not longer/taller pivot arms. The hitch has a head height settings of 16-1/4-18-1/4". This should give pretty much any truck enough clearance to get the recommended 4-6" of clearance between the bed side and trailer. If the hitch height settings don't allow the trailer to set level, you'll need to raise or lower it accordingly.
