How Pick Arm Location for B and W Companion Hitch for 2019 Ford F-250 with Factory Rail Kit
Question:
I know there are 3 height adjustment on this unit my problem is how do I determined the a and b brackets do set them on the angle side or the straight side I have a 2019 F 250 with a short bed and a 5th wheel package set up from the factory. Thank you

Expert Reply:
Since you have a 2019 Ford F-250 short bed with the factory rail kit the correct B and W Companion Slider hitch is the # BWRVK3370 and the # BWRVK3400-5W you referenced. I attached a picture that explains all of the arm location positions for you to check out. I'd go with the rear most position since you have a short bed truck. It gives you better clearance but the king pin will still be carried 1 inch in front of the truck's rear axle.
