This gave me 7" of bedrail to bottom of fifth wheel clearance. I cant make a full 90 degree turn but I dont think this will be an issue. I have more cab clearance with this truck then my 2016 Silverado and never had any issues. Debating if I should add the GM rear view camera. Anyone done that. I love the cameras on the truck and the light check feature. Still learning all the bells and whistles. I notice that towing with the Companion hitch I hear a clunking noise every now and then. Is that what they call chucking? I ask because I never had any noise with my B&W Patriot slider hitch in my 2016 Silverado. Overall pleased with with this setup.
    What is your distance from the front of the bed back to the center of the hitch where the king pin connects. I need to set up my hitch but not sure how far back from the front of the bed I need to be. Thanks

    I am unable to get you the distance. Just had surgery. I have the B&W Companion hitch. It has two mounting positions. Directly over the rear axle or two inches behind the axle. Mine sits two inches behind the axle. Haven’t had any issues turning. I can’t make a 90 degree turn but I can live with that. The one issue I’ve had is that this 3500 Denali suspension is a lot stiffer then my previous truck. It’s jarred several trim pieces loose in our Solitude 2930. Thinking I might relocate hitch over the axle to smooth things out. If that doesn’t help perhaps a new pin box with shocks.
