CanDo: When my hitch was installed the instructions that came with the hitch gave a diagram that showed to measure the distance from the road to the kingpin with the trailer level (using the landing gear to level it to the street, not to level by front to rear pitch -- hope that makes sense -- basically what I'm trying to say is that you were to measure the front of the trailer at 18 inches, then the back of the trailer should also be 18 inches up from the road). This tells you how high your hitch plate needs to be on the truck. You now need to measure from the road up to the bed of the truck and then add the distance of the hitch from the bed of the truck to the top of the hitch plate. Then adjust either (or both) the hitch and pin so that they match as closely as possible.
Hope this helps.
