    B&W Companion Height for Silverado 3500 SRW and Solitude 2930

    Picking up our new 2019 2930 in a couple weeks. Looking for hitch setup advice for 2019 Silverado 3500 SRW with B&W companion non-slider for OEM pucks. That hitch has adjustable height — 3 positions. What height works well?

    When I bought my Companion 25K non slider for my Dually and Momentum 394M, I took a guess and put it in the middle height position (didn't have the trailer yet). When I arrived and purchased the trailer and got it hooked up, it turned out that the trailer was almost perfectly level. It seems to me, if I remember correctly, there is 1 1/2" difference between the lowest to the middle height, then another 1 1/2" between the middle and the upper height.

    The GM trucks have taller sides then Ford of Ram. The hitch needs to be adjusted for the taller sides to compensate to keep the clearance needed....FYI.
    I am wrong, new Ford is the same as GM, now. 21 inches from bed floor to top of rail....
    Just measured...
    My B&W companion is on the lowest holes. Works perfect for our 311BHS.

    B&W Hitch plate ended up at 3.5" below top of bed when hooked up spacing was perfect.

    When you pick up the trailer just bring a socket with you so you can adjust the hitch if you need to . I would start with everything in the middle including how far back and how high up.
