I just bought a 12k superglide and my pin box is hitting the side of my box. I can bring it down one more pin hole. Do I adjust it one more pin hole or will the 3inch lift kit for the hitch work?

Can you move the hitch head/plate up one bolt hole?? Is your truck lifted? Oversize tires? Is it the narrow bed? Need more info on the truck and trailer. I dont know what trailer you have....but with a 5'.5" bed, I would be careful in a hard turn that the front cap on the trailer wont remove your back window.

I have a pullright superglide 12k so I think the only thing I can adjust on that is adding a 3inch lift kit for the hitch.
I do have one more bold hole on the kingpin to go down.
I have a standard f150 2009 5.5 box and standard tires.
The bed is the standard bed.
I have a kystoen springdale 24bh
I have turned to about 75 degree and I have planty of cab room since I have the sliding hitch.
I'm just wondering if I need to raise the hitch 3 inches or the king pin???

Are you sure you cant raise the hitch head?? Most 5er hitchs can be raised or lowered. Call Pull-rite and ask them. If not then its either lower the pinbox at the trailer or install the 3" shims.
