Lifted truck

Does anyone have experience towing a fifth wheel with a small lift kit? I am installing a 3" kit on my 2017 Silverado 2500. The rear is only 1.5" and the front around 3".
The truck sits with a rake now and level with the fifth wheel hooked up. The lift will eliminate the rake and my leave the front end higher than the rear when hooked up I would imagine.
Anyone with real experience?? thanks

  • You are going down a dangerous road.
    I have never understood the lift and rake issues.
    You have to spend money to look cool and mess up the geometry of both rigs.
    Hauling a fifth wheel that is light in the front is not good.
  • If you run out of adjustment on the hitch and the king pin then you may have to flip the fiver axles. Any trailer shop can do it.
