Where Should I Set the Pivot Arms on my B&W Companion Hitch on a 2011 Ram 2500 Long Bed

Question:

I have just received my BWRVK3305 from you for my 2011 Ram 2500 with 8 foot bed. I have a 2018 Forest River Arctic Wolf 35 foot m-305ml6 and was wondering what pivot arm placement I should use? Thank you!

Because you've got an 8ft long truck bed, you're going to have the best towing experience with the pivot arms on your # BWRVK3305 in the forward position. This is going to help put the kingpin of the trailer a little bit in front of the rear axle, which is going to help distribute more weight towards the front axle of the truck.

If you don't already have a 7 way plug in your truck bed, you can add one with the Curt # C56070; this is a great addition to any 5th wheel towing package since it'll make connecting to your 7 way plug a breeze. I've linked an installation video of this harness for you to have a look at, as well.
