How do you have your b&w companion hitch set up for your short bed
2018 Ram 2500 6.4 short bed. Changed our the slider to the non slider that goes with the turnover ball for the 295rl . 80 lbs of weight. I have the pin set on position one of the instructions with the 3" set back. When I took the truck and trailer to the scale it was 20 lbs lighter on the front with the trailer hitched. Should I change the pin to the second position with the 1" set back. Hopefully someone with more experience with these than I do can chime in. Thanks in advance? PS, I tried searching all over the place for a good answer but had no luck.

We have a GMC 2500HD SB so not sure if this is any help for a Ram 2500. We use post position 1. Then the highest vertical position = 7" behind post. This gives us 6.5" bed clearance. We get to about 80 degrees backing up before we start to get close to the cab. We do have Tembriens and MorRyde pin box added. Both great upgrades.

Is the picture looking at the front of the bed or the tailgate. From what I read the orange sticker is supposed to be facing the rear.

Some of the Companion hitches have the orange sticker on both sides.

NAKemp,
Orange sticker faces the cab in my case. This setup places the pin location 1" behind the center of the axel. Also installed a garage hoist to easily remove and install the hitch. Just built a roll around dolly to place it on when I need the hitch removed. My back thinks it's the best $100 ever spent on amazon.

The slider that I had on before was closer to the one inch but this one looks further with the pin in the #1 place with the arm at the 3" behind the pin place per the instructions. Thats why I'm hoping I can find someone with the same set up. The ram bee is 6'4" I believe and isn'tthe chevy short bed longer?

Also have no real intentiona to use the truck for anything but hauling which is why I have a roll up cover on it. That slider was a bear to remove. At least the companion non slider isn't as bad. Lol
