Troubleshooting Pucks Not Level in the Bed of a 2009 Chevy Silverado with Installation Kit # 30061
Question:
after installing the kit,the two front pucks are not level,they are tipped or lean toward the front of the truck. is there a front and rear to the front crossmember,as to how it should be put in beacause installation instructions do not say anything about that?

I spoke with my contact at Reese regarding the pucks on the Signature Series Fifth Wheel Hitch Installation Kit, # 30061. He stated that there could be some variation in their position and if the hitch still fits, there is nothing to be concerned about.
He stated that if you want to try to get the pucks more level, you can loosen the bolts on the cross members and brackets, and then re-tighten them with the hitch installed. That way, the pucks will hold their position. Make sure the longer cross member is towards the front of the truck, the shorter one towards the back. I have included a link to the installation instructions below.
