B&W Turnover Ball Hitch??

I've ordered a B&W Turnover Ball hitch with the Companion 5th wheel adapter. I'm going to order a "Roll BAK" bed cover and need the following question answered. I have looked at the installation manual for this hitch but I don't see what I'm looking for there.

Does the 5th wheel hitch, when installed in the truck, sit below the rails of the bed? I want to be able to close the top, when not towing, and need to make sure the hitch won't interfere with this operation. If the hitch tilts full forward, or aft, while not towing, will the handle interfere with the roll top. Thanks...
