B&W 5th Wheel Hitch Problem
- Thread starter The1adman

Yes I did, you have to align all 4 pucks. The issue isn't alignment its either one of the 4 truck mounted pucks it to low or high or the 5th wheel hitch base is not level on all 4 corners. There is no adjustment for that. This is why I am being sent a new hitch base. B&W provides shims on the Ford system to adjust for this but do not on the Ram. This is the 3rd one I have had and no issue with the previous 2.
Thanks, keep us posted on how it goes. Nice that B & W stands behind their product.

Unfortunately its not the same hitch otherwise I could definitively say its the truck. This is a brand new hitch I picked up Saturday. I have used a caliper to measure from top of puck to bed and they are all the same. Not sure that the bed is a very good place to measure to though.

You're doing it wrong
The bed does not matter and it sits on the pucks only not on the bed at all
But you could see if the mounts are not square to each other.

What i mean is checking the bed is useless only checking the pucks would tell you....
