I recommend installing the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNRK1020 on your 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 short bed. This hitch allows you to easily flip over the hitch ball when needed. When not needed you can flip it back over to maintain a flat truck bed. We do also offer a 4" Offset Gooseneck Ball # BWGNXA4085 to help you gain additional turning clearance if needed.

I recommend installing the Hopkins Endurance 5th Wheel/Gooseneck 90-Degree Wiring Harness # HM54FR when you install the gooseneck hitch. This will allow you to connect your trailer connector inside the bed rather than running the connecter over the tailgate and down to the bumper. This connector matches the hole already in your bed for the factory design.

Should you need to tow a 5th wheel one day you can simply drop in the B&W Companion Slider # BWRVK3400.

Great question, Jeff! When the Rota-Flex first came out it renovated what a pin box could do and be, but at this point in time that technology is a little more dated and the Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel Pin Box #325-GH-8040 is the "new…

Choosing the right height setting for your 5th wheel hitch is a combination of a few different variables. First of all you want your towing setup to be as level as possible. With your Montana High Country 340BH level you will want to measure from the…

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…

Answer 8

You do not have to use a sliding 5th wheel hitch in a short bed truck. In many cases, truck beds shorter than 8 ft do not have enough clearance between the trailer and truck to execute sharp turns. This is why sliding hitches were invented. Due to…

Beds shorter than 8 foot do commonly need a slider hitch David, but a lot of modern fifth wheel trailers are now made with tapered noses to help and in a lot of cases a slider isn't required. So if the trailer you plan to tow has a tapered nose…

Increasing the tire and wheel size can increase the height of the trailer but it's usually quite minimal. Before you do anything else you should see if the pin box can be adjusted. Although you have to be careful here since This will lower the…

Answer 12

A wedge is needed, yes, and the Lippert Turning Point pin box does come with a universal wedge, but it is not a very good fit with the B&W Companion #BWRVK3710. So I highly recommend instead using the 5th Airborne Custom Wedge for B&W Fifth…
