Does Leveling Bracket Affect Towing of B&W Companion BWRVK3775
Question:
Hello experts, just installed a BandW BWRK3775 hitch, love the product simple install. However during the install I broke the leveling install bracket. I believe this is to just keep the receiver level correct? Will this affect the towing in any way? I don’t believe so but had to ask Thanks

Thanks for the purchase of the B&W Companion # BWRVK3775 for your Sierra. And the leveling bracket won't make or break the towing performance of the hitch, what it does is allow you to adjust the angle of the head so you can couple to the hitch.
So while the towing itself will be fine, I do highly recommend contacting B&W to get a replacement leveling kit (they are not sold aftermarket) so you can properly and more easily couple to the hitch.
