• Distance From King Pin to Rear Mounting Holes of Morryde Cushioned Pin Box MR24VR
• On the Morryde pin box you referenced # MR24VR that you referenced it measures 25-5/8 inches from the center of the king pin back to the rear mounting holes. Since the rear mounting holes are right at about an inch from the rear of the pin box you'd have the clearance you are needing since you said you needed less than 30 inches.

• How is the Height Adjustment Measured on the Curt Q20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch
• When measuring the height of a 5th wheel hitch it would be from the top of the truck bed corrugations to the top of the head. The Q20, # C16130, is height adjustable from 13 to 17 inches. Since the X5, # 16310, sets in a gooseneck ball hole but the rails would be no higher than regular rails, it does not add height. To get the proper height setting you would need to know the distance from the top of the bed side rails to the bottom of the trailer overhang. You need 5 or 6 inches of space...

• Recommended Clearance Between Truck Bumper and Fifth Wheel/Gooseneck Trailer
• It is generally recommended that you have at least 2 feet between the rear bumper of the truck and the fifth wheel trailer so that you have clearance around corners. I can't recommend you move the fifth wheel hitch behind the axle center as that will unload the front suspension slightly which will affect braking and turning in emergency situations. For a flat bed fifth wheel hitch the Demco Hijacker SL part # DM6076SL-FLAT would be a great options since it is designed for flat bed configurations. For...

• What Determines Maximum PSI Pressure Rating of Lion's Head Trailer Wheel LHJM513
• For the Lion's Head 16 x 7 Aluminum Modular Trailer Wheel # LHJM513 the maximum psi pressure will depend on the specific valve stem installed when your tires are mounted. We have valve stems, all shown on the linked page, that vary in their psi pressure ratings. For higher pressures over 100-psi a bolt-on metal valve stem like # AM20906 is preferred.

• Will a Toolbox with 19-1/4 in by 56 in Dimensions fit in a 24x60 Curt Cargo Carrier
• The Curt Hitch Cargo Carrier 24x60 # C18152 that you referenced should work well to transport your tool box as long as it and your tools do not exceed the weight capacity of cargo carrier. This carrier has a weight capacity of 500 lbs. The inside dimensions of this carrier are 24 inches by 60 inches which would easily accommodate your tool box that is 19-1/4 inches by 56 inches even with its rounded corners.

• Is There A Wight Rating For The Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit C22BR
• There is not a weight rating for the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit # C22BR. The rails are rated for use with any 5th wheel hitch that will fit into the Industry Standard Rails. Some of which can be rated for 30K or more. Your towing setup is only as strong as the weakest component. So the limiting factor here will be either the weight capacity of your fifth wheel hitch, or the towing capacity of your truck. Whichever is lower.

• Which Install Kit Goes with Hitch 40259 on a 2008 Ford F-450 Super Duty
• The install kit for a 24k Signature Series 5th Wheel on 2008 Ford F-450 Super Duty is actually the same; Signature Series Fifth Wheel Hitch Installation Kit, # 30073. However, installation kit 30073 is only rated for 18,000 pounds. The 24k hitch can handle 24,000 pounds but in order to achieve that capacity, the hitch will have to be custom installed by a qualified technician. Kit 30073 will not fit Cab and Chassis models.

• Will Reese Elite Series Underbed Rail Adapter # RP30156 Raise Height of Pull-Rite Hitch
• Yes, the Reese Elite Series Underbed Rail Adapter # RP30156 that you referenced will have its top mounting surface (where an industry-standard hitch will mount) approximately 1-5/8-inches higher than a set of standard above-bed base rails. Standard rails' top surface is 1-3/8-inches above the truck bed. A hitch will sit on top of this adapter, not in between its 4 sides.

• Will Incorrect Tire Inflation Pressure Affect Handling from Grand Design Reflection 28BH 5th Wheel
• If you were running your new special trailer tires a full 30-psi below their rated (and required) 110-psi inflation pressure then that is probably the cause for the degraded handling from your Grand Design Reflection trailer. Special trailer tires, the ST-type, must ALWAYS be inflated to their maximum COLD psi pressure as noted on the tire sidewall. It is never appropriate to under- or over-inflate a trailer tire for any reason; there is no benefit to doing so and this can cause loss of...

• Can a 20K 5th Wheel Hitch be Used to Tow a 20K Toy Hauler
• Great question! Although a 5th wheel hitch rated for 20K can tow up to 20K we highly recommend using a 5th wheel hitch that is rated about 1K - 2K over the GVWR of your 5th wheel trailer. This gives you a safety margin and will help keep your hitch from prematurely wearing down from normal use. The only time you would be able to safely use the 20K hitch is if you didn't load your trailer up to the 20K capacity. If your toy hauler is 20K then I recommend going with either the B&W Companion...

• Would Transferring a Companion Hitch from F-350 to F-450 Require Changing Height Adjustment
• The B and W Companion Hitch for Ford OEM rail kits part # BWRVK3300 does fit the rail kit of your 2021 Ford F-450. I'd suspect you might have to lower the hitch head height but it really just depends. I doubt your 350's suspension was sagging much with the weight of the trailer on the hitch but the 450 would sag even less so it would most likely sit taller. But you also would want to measure the height from the top of the truck bed to the ground for both trucks and compare the heights there...
