Recently DW and I replaced our 2006 truck. I needed more clearance between new truck rails and trailer (2010 Mountaineer 295RKD, std OEM suspension) overhang. Raised BW Companion to max height. Still needed a bit more clearance, so I dropped the Trailair Air Ride 5th Wheel Pin Box down one set of holes. With this adjustment, I now have 7.5 inches of truck/trailer clearance.

Read through this thread and kept reading a couple/few degrees lower in the rear than the front comments. How does this translate to inches? After the above adjustments, the trailer nose now rides 1.75 inches higher than the tail of the trailer.

Questions: Does this nose/tail difference fall within the range others are experiencing/towing? Would this amount of difference shift too much weight to the rear axle?


Still, need to weigh the truck/trailer combination to see what's changed though.

TIA for your experienced based thoughts & comments.
