Re: 17.5 tire question
I got aluminum hispec wheels from e-bay for $205 each with free shipping. Center caps and lug nuts included. That was the best price I could find. It does seem to be a higher number of tires available in the 215 size. When I checked either the 215 or the 235 were about 2% different in size smaller or larger than my current 16's267Views0likes0Comments17.5 tire question
I just ordered a set of 17.5 wheels, but I am not sure which size tires to get. The 215 75's or the 235 75's. Either size appears to be slightly larger or smaller than my current 235 80 16's. Is one size better than the other and I was hoping to keep my current size spare to use in a pinch. 2013 dutchman voltage 32001.3KViews0likes3CommentsRe: 5th wheel nose high problem
I have a 20k reese select slider on top of the picture frame and a trail air pin box. I like the pin box, but maybe I could get one with a lower profile. I was also looking at maybe getting 17.5 wheels and tires. I would gain a little height and higher weight rating on the tires. That is expensive though$2000 plus. I do have Chinese tires now.350Views0likes0CommentsRe: 5th wheel nose high problem
picture frame is around two inches, so getting rid of that would help. I did look at the B&W made for the Ram 5th wheel package, but that would only gain me 3/4 inch and I would lose my ability to slide the hitch (I have the 6.4 bed) Will those other hitches go lower? My hitch now is just under 18 inches from the bed.352Views0likes0CommentsRe: 5th wheel nose high problem
Well, I weighed my trailer axles before a trip and found a 1000 lb difference between the front and rear axles of the trailer. The rear axle is right at the limit of 7000 lbs and that was with no toys in the garage. I definitely need to find a way to get the nose down. I do not have adjustment holes on the spring shackles either. My current delema is how to do it. I have not found a hitch I can adjust lower except the Anderson ultimate which would give me around an inch. I have a trail air pinbox that is adjusted as high as it can go. Don,t know if a different pin box is an option217Views0likes0Comments
