4. Trucks come in many different configurations. This hitch is designed for use in light trucks such as the Ford F-
Series, the Chevy Silverado and the Dodge Ram. This hitch is recommended for use with long bed (8ft) light trucks for the
best combination in truck - trailer turning clearance.
Rule of thumb:
Fig. 3
5. If a short bed pickup (less than 8 ft. but longer than 6 ft.) is to be used for towing, Cequent Performance Products, Inc.
recommends the trailer be equipped with an extended pin box to help gain additional truck - trailer turning clearance
(See trailer manufacturer for options) (See Fig. 4). Or it also may be helpful to add a 30048 or 50008 or
30092 slider with an extended pinbox for increased turning clearance for low speed, non-highway maneuvering. The
use of a Reese Sidewinder would also give additional turning clearance.

Conventional Pin Box
6. The height of the hitch and the pin box should be adjusted so the trailer is approximately level as it is towed. Allow
approximately 6 inches clearance between the top of the pickup walls and the underside of the front of the trailer for pitch
and roll of the trailer. (See Fig. 5). Allow more clearance between pickup walls and trailer for off road use.

The distance from the back of the truck cab to the center of the rear truck
axle ("X" in Fig. 3), should be approximately 4 inches greater than one-half
the trailer width ("Y" in Fig.3) unless using a Sidewinder or Revolution Pin Box.
