Correct Installation Height for B&W Companion BWRVK3700 5th Wheel Hitch
Question:
I am looking to confirm the correct height to set the hitch on install. I have not picked up the trailer yet but do know the hitch height of the trailer when level. It suggest I should set it on the lowest setting but I am questioning that. Any help would be appreciated.

Expert Reply:
Even if we know your specific trailer model you will still need to check the trailer height for adjusting the B&W Companion hitch's height in your Silverado 3500. Different wheel/tire sizes will affect the actual king pin height on the trailer. The Companion # BWRVK3700 offers 2-inches of adjustment range, with height from 16-3/4-inches to 18-3/4-inches.
Please refer to the linked article and video.
