How to Adjust the Hieght of Curt Q20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch on 2014 Ram with OEM Prep Package
Question:
I purchased this hitch and installed it in my 2014 Ram with the factory installed under bed mounts. The face of the hitch is 3inch higher than the height of the pin box bottom. How do I make the adjustment?

There are 3 sets of holes where the legs attach to the crossmember of the Curt 5th wheel hitch # C16530-16021 for your 2014 Ram with OEM prep package.
You will need to unbolt the legs from the rest of the hitch and move them up or down as needed and then reattach them. See page 2 of the installation instructions linked to the right.
If you still do not have enough clearance then you could also adjust the pin box on the trailer up or down as needed. Trailer pin boxes are very heavy so you would need some help and be very careful.
