King Pin Adjustment

[Super_Dave]

In my current configuration, the pin is bolted to the bracket with 5 bolts. It appears that if I were to raise it, I’d lose a bolt and have 4. Anyone using a 4 bolt attachment?

I don't understand the odd number of bolts in the first place. Mine had same number on both sides. It had four and still does after I changed it to a Reese Goose Box. Bolts torqued to 210# each. the 5th's gvw is 13,995#.

Try to find the model number. Normally stamped somewhere on box.
You have a prety big rig in profile.
I would be thinking at least five grade 8 bolts at a minimum.
New rig, I would call the factory or if you trust dealer call them.

Can you identify size and strength of your existing bolts?

Mine is a Lippert but looks slightly different. It looks like image A but only has 6 holes rather than the 8.
