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. |
