    Nice looking rig, just looks very pin high in the picture. I would get closer to level!
  • I have to agree with rhagfo. Your rig is sitting a little pin high.

    Driving back to WI from Billings MT on Tues & Wed I saw ALOT:C of 5th wheels.

    I noticed that quite a few were sitting pin high and some VERY pin high. Some of them I could see that there was little pressure on the front axle and a ton on the rear.

    Does blowout come to mind!!!!!

    LOL!
    When we towed our first 5er home from the Seattle area I was worried about dragging the back on very mild driveways! I flipped the aes the next week!
  • Very nice truck, fiver and stuff on the back there!

    I see good times ahead.
  • Thanks guys! I am sitting a bit pin high right now. The dealer put me on the highest points they can for now. They said its not to bad since I only do short trips and don't really go more than 30 miles at a time. I will flip the axles next summer.
  • I don't understand, flip the axles, how does that get it closer to level at the pin?
  • Before you do all that can you move the hitch and or the pin box to lower the front? It looks like you have plenty of clearance between the fiver and the box sides. You only need 6" or so..
