What Are the Pivot Arm Adjustments On the B&W Companion OEM 3775 for a 2020 Chevy

Question

Question:

Hello, Looking for the measurements in relation to the pivot arms and which direction they are mounted. On the 3770 it says it’s 3 inches in front of axle or 1 inch in front of axle depending on which way you mount them. Is it the same on the 3775 or is it different?

The B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch part # BWRVK3775 which is a fit for a 2020 Chevy/GMC Sierra 2500/3500 has two pivot arms which can be installed so the kingpin sits 3" in front of the axle or 1" in front of the axle which you can see in the attached photo.

The installation instructions are the same for the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch part # BWRVK3770 and B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch part # BWRVK3775.
