MOUNT  PLACEMENT

The Bolt Hitch’s unique design allows the hitch position to be  adjusted in the bed to accommodate various trailers, load distributions and turning clearance requirements.  The most common position for a ball is center of the axle.  However, you must check the clearance radius of the trailer you will be pulling to determine that you have enough clearance from the cab of the truck. 
Adjust the hitch as necessary.
