height

Has anyone recently measured the height of there rig? I just put new 235/85R/16 tires on my rig and have yet to measure it, just wondering if anyone else has done so. Factory says it 13'3". It's a 2020 Keystone Montana 3121RL. Had 80R's on it but I raised it to 85's which gave it additional weight capacity but was told it would actually raise the height also. Just wondering. I will try to measure it this coming weekend if possible....weather related!!!

You only raised it 1/2". Negligible!

Factory figures don’t always correlate to actuality. The height of the bed of your truck can affect the height of your trailer, as can the adjustment of your hitch and or pin box. The only sure way to tell is to measure.

Your front A/C is the high pointy of your rig and the tires on the axles will have little effect on the height of the rig at that high point. They will raise the rear of the rig but your A/C is close to the hitch and that won't change.

We have a 22 3121RL, factory tires, TV is a 3500 longbed Ram with auto airbags so zero squat, top of AC unit is right at 13’6”. Don’t believe what the mfg says, need to measure.

13 feet 4 inches. I put a sticker inside my truck that's in site all the time, even when not towing ..... 13 feet 5 inches. If "it's" anything less than 14 feet, I simply do not go under it, even when not towing. It helps me be consistent in my thinking and to never forget.
