    Reese Goose Box questions

    2017 Reflection 303 rls, 2019 Ram 2500 mega cab diesel 4x4
    Bought the unit about a month ago and noticed the trailer was a bit nose high when hooked up and going down the road. Unfortunately I did not measure the clearance between truck bed and trailer. I will measure gap prior to making any adjustments. The height adjustments on the hitch seem straight forward but I wanted to double check prior to attempting. I tried to call Reese but if your not the original purchaser they simply hang up on you during the automated call. Tried to call back and held for 15 minutes for a sales person and never got through. I hope the hitch is better than their service!
    Any advice or experiences? Thanks guys

    It is fairly easy to adjust the height. Setup some wood blocking in your truck to hold the hitch in place when you take bolts out. Use the landing gear to adjust the RV height. Before you take the bolts out, remove the break away switch and VIN plate. You will have to drill new holes for the break away switch and VIN plate. Make sure to use a torque wrench on the bolts.

    Yes, both should be installed on the wings of the pin box, but the fasteners go through the wings into the Goosebox.

    As FT4NOW noted, goosebox hangs lower then the wing plates so have to re-drill through the goosebox on the backside of wing plates if you make adjustments from where it is now. Just happen to have a picture of the break away switch and holes left from VIN plate. Didn't put VIN plate back on since the washer was in the way and was secured with some special pin rivets.
