How level should I shoot for?
I picked up my Shasta Phoenix 355fbx a couple months ago while I still had my f250. Goosebox was installed on the 5er, and we got it fairly level and got 6” clearance between it and the truck. Those 17-20 Ford SRW we high!) thankfully I had lowered the rear and installed airbags to keep truck level.
Fast forward, my 350 DRW is here and broke In. Hooked it up today and towed to a flat (ish) parking lot. Towing was amazing! The 250 didn’t feel unstable by any means, but the feeling of being planted down with the dually is a big difference.
The dually had factory prep with a BW gooseball - so that’s about 2” taller than a regular gooseball - like my 250. I had a lot of clearance with this new truck and the 5er - but maybe too much for the rear of the camper? It’s def a little nose high - but it has upgraded road armed suspension equalizers and seems to be good clearance still at the back bumper.
Forgot to take a measuring tape with me.
But - here’s some pictures. Please judge me and let me know what you think. The option to raise the goosebox (to lower the front) is there. So I could drop it 2 inches. But I’m paranoid about striking my truck rails
