Re: Sub-frame for camper

I remember reading 8” if there will be any off road but it seems like 90% of what I’m reading says 6 I’ve got 9” of clearance and have still had the truck bed rub on the bottom of the FW on some rough roads. I say more clearance is always better.720Views0likes0CommentsRe: Sub-frame for camper
I had a 4"subframe added to my FW by a local welding company that was recommended by the dealership we bought our Jayco from. It is basically a metal box. The axle's are still align-able. Have had it for seven years, have towed on some very rough roads and have had zero issues.302Views0likes0CommentsRe: Short Bed Silverado
I have never had an issue. One benefit of the shorter bed is that when the tailgate is down and I am hitching the trailer up there is never a concern of the tailgate making contact with the trailer. My buddy has my exact truck with a long bed and he has to stop and shut the tailgate before he completely hitches so the tailgate won't hit his trailer.618Views0likes0CommentsRe: Advice for Towing 5th Wheel (switching from bumper pull)

My current trailer is 29 feet and about 7k pounds and I pulled it with a Tundra. I am getting a 41 foot 5th wheel that weighs about 13k pounds. I will be towing it with a Ram 3500 long bed diesel SRW (with a 4200 pound payload capacity). Any advice on how I should adjust my driving with the bigger trailer in making turns, backing up, etc? I am a little uneasy about the extra size and length and not sure how backing up will be compared to the bumper pull. Thanks for your help Matt Find a large parking lot, get some cones and friends, and PRACTICE! You'll want to use your mirrors a lot more, too. Lyle This is what I would recommend.512Views0likes0Comments
