So what is an acceptable weight difference on the axles? Front axle is at 4540lbs and the rear is 5260lbs. With my rear having 720 lbs more that the front is that overloading it to much? They are 7000# axles. My 5th wheel is already 12ft 8in tall as it sits. So I am a little concerned about more height. Sorry to keep bugging people for info. I am new to the RV scene and I don't know who to ask about weight to axle ratios.
Tire rating compared to load. Your height will not change the highest point will be above the hitch. Your suspension travel is more limited as you are now.
It "MAY" make it a little higher . .in his pic, the vent shroud is directly ahead of the axles . and the AC is right above, or directly behind the axles.. it really depends . .
