Low in the nose of the 5th Wheel - suggestions??

[joggerman]

Just had the axles flipped, because I only had about 3.5 inches of rail clearance. Now, I have 5.5 inches of clearance, but the back of my 5er is at least 2 inches higher than my front, when hooked up and ready to tow. Any suggestions?

Joggerman, what does the manual for your trailer say, mine recommends that it be 1/2 inches low in the front.

Welcome to the best RV forum.
You mentioned over on the dieselstop forum that you have already lowered your kingpin. Can you also adjust the hitch in the truck UP a few sets of bolt holes? Most hitches have adjustment up and down a few bolt holes. Raising your hitch will bring the back down and give you even more bedrail clearence & let you level the trailer.

Thanks so much for showing interest in my concern. I have a Pullrite 16K Sliding hitch and unfortunately it is not adjustable, per the per Pullrite customer service. The only thing that I haven't checked into yet, is the possibility of replacing my Pin Box on the Fleetwood camper. Hopefully, I can find one with more adjustment. Thanks again for your response.

What type of truck do you have? You could always add bags which would bring the rear back up nto normal height.
Also give Pulrite another call, they have longer bed pins that you could install which would raise the hitch also.
