Ball Platform On 3" Drop B&W Tow & Stow Hits Bumper When Stowing

Question:

When flipped around and stowing I cant push it up high enough to use both pins due to the bumper being in the way. Will it be OK to just use one pin for this purpose since theres no load?

In regards to the B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount part # BWTS10047B, so long as you have the hitch balls pointed down there should be no issues stowing the ball platform under the receiver tube. I suppose there could be some odd setups that don't allow for this on the 3" drop version and for those instances I recommend the 5" drop version part # BWTS10048B.

I can't recommend only using one pin to secure the ball platform in the stowed position due to the risk of the ball platform failing due to increased movement caused by the lack of the extra support from the second pin.
