Troubleshooting Pin Box Clearance with Bed Rails with Andersen Ranch Hitch
Question:
I installed an off set Anderson goose neck adapter on my cougar 5th wheel. My problem is, my hitch hitting my side walls when I turn. My truck is level and my 5th wheel is level with the adapter fully ed into the tube. Is there any solution to solving this issue? Looks like I have 2.5 inches I could raise the trailer but I dont think this will help. After reading the reviews it seems Im not the only person with this issue. Any advise? Thanks

Expert Reply:
When you say hitting the sidewalls of your truck are you referring to the bed rails or the cab of the truck? If the bed rails is there anyway you could raise the pin box on the frame brackets so it sits higher but then lower the height of the # AM3139 to compensate and allow it to sit level? That would give more clearance from the bottom of the pin box to the bed rails.
