What to do? 5er not level w/ truck
I think a similar post was done about this very thing, sorry if it's a repeat. With units in sig, here's my problem. Hooked up and truck hitch in lowest setting, I have 7 1/2" gap between box rail...

I spoke w/ Lippert and seems they changed things up. While they still have and sell the wet bolt kit, they now offer a Never-Fail bushing which is supposed to be vastly superior to the bronze bushing used w/ the wet bolt kit. The Never- Fail bushings are NOT compatible w/ the wet bolt kit and not sure which bolts would be used with them. If one buys a new Equa-Flex, the Never-Fails come std w/ it. Bronze bushings NOT sold separately! I cannot see buying 2 new Equa-Flexes just to get the new bushings. How long do the bronze ones last? Has to be much better then the plastic ones from factory.
Was also told that in what I want to do, I have to "tap" (hammer) out the wet bolt from shackles due to the serrated edges on then. Can re-use them. Has anyone ever taken out the wet bolts? How hard did they come out? Seems to me if I recall right, they were a stinker going in and IMO probly have to grind them off in order to get them out.
"Never-Fail" is probably equivalent to the "NevRLube" bearings, that you still have to re-pack. I think I'd stick to a standard wet bolt kit, but that's just me.
I've replace a few wheel studs, that have splines below the head, and we'd simply leave the nut threaded on the end of the stud, and use that to drive the stud out, provided we didn't have a press handy. You could do the same and save the old bolts in your just-in-case box.
