To determine the correct configuration to mount the pivot arms on the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch for Ram Towing Prep Package # BWRVK3600 you need to compare the measurement taken from the center of the coupler to the cab, to the measurement of the center of the king pin to the furthest forward corner point of the trailer. This will determine the clearance you will have between the cab and the trailer while towing and turning.
