Cut Noose Cap to Raise Pin?
Has anyone ever cut out the fiberglass nose cap to raise the pin box? In order to make up for a nose high fiver.

I have about 8" of clearance from the bed rail to the bottom of the 5vr. I can not adjust the hitch to lower it at all, Super Glide. I can not raise the pin box any higher because it is tight up against the fiberglass nose of the 5ver. The pin could physically go up another set of holes if I cut into the fiberglass noose to take a piece out of it as wide as the pin and 1-1/2" high so the pin box can slide up.
Can't get any pictures until next week end now.
How nose-high are you? If only a couple inches, I wouldn't worry about it. I'm in the same boat as you and, because I go off-road, I =need= the clearance and I don't worry about being 2" nose-high.

Front is about 8" high then the back. Being a long trailer does help, It is about a 1.3deg up angle.
