HAHAH.. Well,, i had that moment. It was like. "ahhhhh, this is what they meant". My wife just looked at me weird. LOL.
I am going to raise my pin box so the trailer sits perfect. its off by about 1.5 inches right now.. Im just trying to see if i can raise that so i can lower the nose just a bit.
Currently there is 3 bolts in the front, and 2 in the rear. If i raise it, it will be 3 in the rear, and 2 in the front. Same amount of bolts. Would that work??
Not sure what bolts you are referring to, I have 12 bolts that hold my pin box on. 6 on each side. 2 rows of 3. Its all a trade off. If you raise your pin box lowering your trailer or lower your hitch, you will now have less clearance between your bed rails and the bottom of the trailer. Will you be comfortable with less room?
If you just stay on paved roads you just might be fine. I went through that battle with mine. I like having the 8" of bed clearance since I do leave the paved highways, but I have to live with my trailer being 1.5" nose high. My axles came SOA, so my only option would be to lift the trailer or get that correct track kit that will raise the trailer a bit.
There are only 5 on one side, and 5 on the other. So 10 bolts total. I didnt know if the configuration of those bolts mattered. I have a lot of room between the bed and the rv. I could stand sacrificing 2 inches.
