I decided to lower the spring mounts giving me an extra 2 inches. With the truck loaded with the FW the truck squats 2 in. About 8.25 inch between rear of bed rails and the under side of the FW nose. I can't raise the pinbox any more because the fiberglass on the nose won't allow it. I do have one more hole to adjust up. As is, fully hooked up the FW is nose high 5 inches.
My plan is to get the new hitch to lower the nose around 1.5 inches maybe 2 in. Lower the springs giving me another 2 in. This leaves me with 1 inch nose high. I'm going to call Jayco today and see if it will void the warranty to cut the fiberglass to allow the king pin to go up the rest of the way. That would be the last inch to level.
Andersen said that if I had pinbox clearance issues, like hitting the bed rails I can switch the coupler on the pinbox around so the ball is behind the pin and it would give me more clearance.
