Do Not install this REESE
bed pickup truck that has a bed shorter than 6'!
6. The height of the coupler should be adjusted so the trailer is approximately level as it is towed. Allow
approximately 6" 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 measurements above are guidelines. If your measurements are close to these numbers re-check clearances.
If vehicle and/or trailer has any added bed vicinity accessories (i.e. fairings, air dams, ground effects, bed rails,
