    Tongue hack and tailgate

    I rotated mine following this guys instructions. It worked perfectly on my 2019 2800bh so I can open my 2018 Silverado tailgate.

    Your welcome!

    You do have a difficult decision to make, which way to have the buttons face...

    Several YouTube's involve rotating the head and tapping a hole. Hmmm. Three bolts hold the whole thing to the frame and it looks like an equilateral triangle. Might take them out and rotate whole thing without screwing with the head. Have to look more closely.

    I would not have been able to rotate the whole thing 33 degrees as it would have hit my propane tanks.

    I bought a extended shank for my equalizer hitch this extended the ball out an additional 6 inches so now my tail gate has plenty of clearance in the down position, and I can make a tighter turn without pinching the trailer (although not needed I hope).

    I did this mod today. The hardest part was cutting the treads in the two holes but since the holes were already there even that wasn't difficult just make sure the tap goes in straight and level.

    Awesome mod. Before and after pictures.
