    Thank y'all for the pics and the insight. The middle setting looks to be just the right setting based on your pictures and input. I think I'm going to lower mine to the middle setting in anticipation of picking up my 398M after the new year. As I noted in another post, we pulled the trigger on a 2022 model that the dealer was motivated to sell. We had a few things that we wanted done to it before we picked it up, but with the holidays we got delayed on until after the new year. Getting very excited!
    @FT4NOW - what was your first impression with towing with your setup?

    Towing was much better than I expected. I came from a Curt Q25 hitch with my 399, and it always clunked when I stopped or started moving. There is absolutely none of this with the companion hitch. I also expected it to be rough with the Rhino Box, since it isn't cushioned and it doesn't pivot, but overall it was a pretty good ride. We've gone about 500 miles with it so far, and no complaints on the towing.

    Great to hear! That makes me excited to get ours and see how it pulls. I'm still leaning towards a Morryde pin box if there's a compatible version.

    Looks like an awesome rig. I bet it pulls amazing with that Duramax truck combo.....

    Thanks! It does pull great, and the 10 speed with exhaust brake was great for some of the downhill grades going from TN on the way to SC. The grades up and down ranged from 6 - 8%, and I thought the truck performed well in both conditions. I have the TBC set at 5.5 which seems pretty good as well.
