Axle Weights

New to fifth wheels and I would like to balance my axle weights a little better. The fiver is slightly nose high. Will raising the trailer 2 5/8 to 3 inches (kits from Dexter for Torflex axle) make much of a difference?
Torflex 4000lb wt axles
Weight - front 3380 rear 3920- unit weight close to what we travel with


  • I don't have much room between bed rail top and trailer, so don't want to lower hitch. Axles are Torflex, so no springs or adjustments.
  • Adjust the hitch down or pin box up and re weigh your rig. Do tou have adjustment holes in your spring hangers?
