In order to adjust the depth of the feet on the Curt OEM 5th Wheel Hitch Legs for Ram Towing Prep Package part # C16021 you will need a 24mm socket or wrench. Simply remove the cotter pin with a pair of needle nose pliers and turn the castle nut until you can lock the pegs into place within the pucks then reinstall the cotter pin.
