Lowering the Pin Box

I previously asked about creating more space between Truck Bed and 5th Wheel. Some suggested that I should have more holes & be able to lower my Pin Box. I was finally able to get to my rig and look & see.

As you see in the picture. If I lower it, I will have 2 bolts that are no longer supported by the 2 "L channel" supports. Is that a concern?

    Mine looks pretty much just like yours, angle braces and all, and it is mounted in the lower holes.

    How level is the trailer now? Dropping the pin box will make the trailer about 2 more inches nose high.

    I don't see what the L channel is doing anyway. I've never seen one with that on it. I would not worry about it, just move the box. I would clean it up the rust and give it a coat of paint also.
