Raising our 5er

[klr650goldwing]

Our 5th wheel rides about 2 inches high in the front. We checked into lowering our 2017 F350 DRW truck, but we can't do that. So, now we are considering raising our 2014 Grand Design Solitude 5th wheel trailer. Have any of you done such a thing to your 5er? What are the pros and cons, dangers, pitfalls etc.

OHHH..The other guy....... Yea, I know who he is... He helped Sergio finish my 2016... Both are great wrench pullers for MORryde

Forget his name but the other guy did my 3” risers in 2016.

Sergio is still there?He work on my FW in 2018.

He did my 2008 Montego Bay... he did my 2016 Redwood and my 2020 Redwood..

I'm scheduled for installation on my brand new 5th wheel in November. I hope both the truck and 5er get here before then

that's a concern I would have also

Scale the trailer axles. If front and rear axles are close to the same weight, you do not have a problem.

2" nose high on a 39' 5th wheel should not be an issue

Yes it is good to tow level but at 2" nose high are you experiencing any towing issues?
Chucking, abnormal rear trailer tire wear etc????

I agree ,last two fifth wheel have rode a couple inches high, not a problem for me, nor have I had any issues .

Installing the Correct Track system will raise the trailer 3". A relatively inexpensive & easy install.

Not sure LCI Correct Track is available anymore
Thought after install it was 2" overall

I think it states 2" unless they have a new version.

That's what I was thinking, just 2 inches, but still a good option!
