? on pulling hitch location

[jordanjames81]

ok guys what im wanting to know is if i move my hitch for Scheid 09 will it pass at the rest of the pulls. it say in Scheids rules that from center of axle to center of hooking point the minimum of 44 inches. i havnt got a roll pan yet but was wondering about moving my hitch forward and adding some support so it mounted to truck better. Wanting the truck to be legal, so what your guys input. Truck will be running 2.6

Most places around here say 46". At 44" the hook point would be basically under the bed and some places say that the hook point must be behind the rear most part of the truck.

most places say hook point must be rear most point on the truck, so if 44" puts it up under the bed then it wont be legal for other places

Exactly 44 inches on my ford Crew Cab short box and it is still the rear most point on the truck. Same with my buddys D-max.

around here the rule is you must be able to see light between the tailgate and inside of hitch opening when looking straight down at the hitch.

i used diamond plate instead of a roll pan to hide to back of the truck.
