IS IT ME OR CAMPING WORLD

So an axle flip adds about 5.5"! Jack plates (different holes in spring mounts) are normally at 2" Spacing. If your springs are in the top holes(those closer to the frame rails) then moving to the first lower hole raise the rig 2" at the axles and 2.5-2.75" at the rear.

So the question is how far do you need to go up?

On our Cardinal we did flip the axles, and then lowered it 2" on the spring mounts for a net increase of 3.5" to get it to ride level.

From your profile:

2016 FORD F350 SD LARIAT 4x4
2001 Sunny Brook 27RKS 5th Wheel

You may need the 5.5".

There is also the subframe addition way of lifting a trailer. You may however be looking for new steps with 4 treads.

I need to get my 5th wheel raised to match my new truck. So I went to Camping World this afternoon to see about having it done. My RV is a Sunnybrook that has factory holes in the spring hangers for raising the RV. Camping World say this is not a good idea because it may cause the axels to get out of alignment. They say to do an axel flip to gain the extra clearance. I think this would have a bigger chance of getting the axels out of alignment. I am crazy or missing something here or is it camping world????

Do the axle flip, then adjust the springs down if still more clearance is needed. I'd also do a wet bolt kit at the same time. I'd certainly consider using another shop than CW, as I've had too many friends have issues with them.

Axle flip much better all the way around!
