Solution for Fifth Wheel Trailer that Sits Nose High After Using Reese Ford Prep Adapter
Question:
Bought Reese adapter part 30156 I think for factory installed prep package on 2016 F350. It causes my hitch Curt Q16 to sit too high for trailer. The trailer sits nose-up. What are my options?

Expert Reply:
The Curt Q16 part # C16120 has an adjustable head that allows you to go from 13 to 17 inches in height. You can try lowering the head of the hitch or you can raise the pin box in the mounting holes of your trailer.
Typically there are a few different height setting you can use on the pin box of a trailer to allow for height adjustment.
