Hey all. Started installing my B&W today, only to have to stop before I could get started due to the previous owner welding some fifth wheel hitch brackets to the frame that I have to cut off first. I did find a couple of things that the instructions werent very clear on, though. Where the side rail connects to the clamp at the bottom with a bolt, there's about a 1/2" gap with the stud on top of the clamp in the proper hole and the clamp vertical. Does a spacer go between these parts, or does it pull the clamp to an angle?
Second, does a 3/4" bolt go through the hole in the side plate and through the slotted hole on the truck's frame with a spacer between the frame and side plate?

The spacers go between the side rails and the truck frame rail--best I can remember, the frame is bent inward (not flat) and the spacer will keep the side rail from buckling when the bolt is tightened.
JC--talking about an underbed gooseneck hitch that has nothing in the bed when installed.

You only need two tools: WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should, use the WD-40. If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.
