Lippert 1621 bolt positions

Does anyone have the diagram for the different levels the kingpin box can be set at? It's on a 2004 3255RL

I'd guess you could only raise or lower to what bolt hole locations allow. You can only go so high or you'll contact the front cap with the pinbox.

I was able to lower the box to raise the trailer. I went from 3 1/2" clearance to 7 1/2". I'm just not sure if the bolts are too close compared to how it was.

I now measure 28" in the front and 28 1/2" on the back, so we will now ride level

You could also raise your hitch in the bed of your truck to accomplish the same thing if you think the bolts don't look right.

I also am on my 2nd pullrite slider. On my previous version, you could buy some mounting tubes that would raise the hitch about 3 or 3 1/2 inches. But that is the only option that I know of. By the way, I still have them but am not using them now if you are interested.

I made the kingpin adjustment and now sit at 7 1/2 inches. The trailer is within 1/2" of riding level too. I'm sure when I get my airbags on the truck we will be level all around. I suspect if I go any higher then I'll have to flip axles and I don't want to / need to (not yet atleast) at this time. We boondock so I may end up needing to
