asked by: David
Expert Reply:
The B&W Continuum Weight Distribution System part # BW78FR won't allow for the tailgate to open fully as it ships. In order for this to happen you'd need to switch out the shank for a longer option which is still currently being developed and tested by B&W. That said, you could still open the tailgate most of the way as is you would just need to be careful resting it on the jack but this can vary from trailer to trailer
In regards to the B&W Continuum Weight Distribution System part # BW88FR, this is designed for models with an underslung coupler meaning the coupler is mounted on the bottom of the frame and not on top which is what the above model is for and most common.
