Sorry to hear about the troubles Randy, hopefully it doesn't happen with your recent adjustments.
I had some issues with that on my first road tractor. The trailer was a low-profile flatbed with a curtainside kit. Couple of times the frame of the trailer hooked on the frame of the tractor when making a turn. First time it happened it felt like I hit something, it felt like quite an impact and the truck stopped turning. Would have been a one-time thing if the fifth wheel on that one was adjustable, but it was fixed and happened a couple more times before I swapped tractors.

Holy hitches batman that is a lot of money for a fifth wheel hitch. What makes it so good or they think it is so good? That is ridiculous compared to what I spent on mine.

You can get a B&W for the ford prep for under a thousand dollars. Put yours on Craigslist when you get to Arizona and when somebody buys it you can order the b&w
