Question:
I have a 2018 F250 with bed rails and the A16 hitch. The hitch legs seem to not be level and causing the hitch to rattle in the bed rails. Towing a Grand Design Reflection 150 series 290BH. Every time you close a door or the tailgate you can hear the hitch rattling in the bed rails. I have taken the hitch out of the bed and placed it on my garage floor and it seems that the front right leg is higher than the others.

Expert Reply:
It is not strange that the one leg of the Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16120 sits higher than the other. As the Legs # C16920 are bolted to the Head # C16520 with the Hardware Kit # C16125-SK4 you can loosen the bolts to level the legs and even them all out.
We also have the Fifth Wheel Rail Sound Dampeners # 16900 that you can place between the 5th wheel rails and hitch to help eliminate the rattling you are getting.
