5. Trucks come in many different configurations. Cequent Performance Products, Inc. hitches are designed for use in light trucks
such as the Ford F-Series, the Chevy Silverado and the Dodge Ram. Cequent Performance Products, Inc. recommends the use
of long bed (8') light trucks for the best combination in truck - trailer turning clearance.
Rule of thumb:
Figure 4
6. If a short bed pickup (less than 8' but longer than 6') 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) (Figure 5). It also may be helpful to add a REESE
for low speed, non-highway maneuvering.

Conventional Pin Box
Do Not install this fifth wheel hitch on or attempt to tow with a short bed pickup
truck that has a bed shorter than 6' unless trailer is equipped with a Sidewinder
pin box!
7. 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" clearance between the top of the pickup walls and the underside of the front of the trailer for pitch and roll of the
trailer. (Figure 6). Allow more clearance between pickup walls and trailer for off road use.
Figure 6
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, etc.).
Additional dimensioning and clearance checks have to be made.

The distance from the back of the truck cab to the center of the rear truck
axle ("X" in Figure 4), should be approximately 4" greater than one-half
the trailer width ("Y" in Figure 4)
