TV and 5er Leveling

How critical is the leveling of the TV and 5er. I just purchaced a 06 F350 King Ranch. It has a 4.5 in. lift. Will i have a problem towing a 5er and is there a brand of sliding hitch that mounts lower that most? Thanks

I wouldn't worry to much about the sliding hitch, You can adjust the pin box to compensate for that. Also 4.5 inches of lift is not much, what I would be interested in is once the 5th wheel is hooked to the truck how much did the rear of the truck drop from the weight of the trailer on the bed of the truck. The back of my truck drops 4 inches once I hook up to my 5th wheel, thus when unhooked it goes up 4 inches, this is without air bags just stock.

I have a 16k Curt 5th wheel hitch which sits below my bed rails quite a bit, I'd say more than 6 to 8 inches so I have to adjust me pin box angle a bit down to make up the difference to be level ....

All these like pin box, 5th wheel hitch all come into play, your dealer if they a good dealer should help you with your setup ... If your salesman states anything will work then I would exit stage left as fast as you can, they are not the ones you want to buy from :(

safe travels :)
