So I recently traded in both truck and 5er. New truck is a 2011 F350 CC FX4 SRW. New trailer is a Montana 3750FL. Truck pulls this trailer great. Under all my weights by a good amount. Did a cat scale check to be sure. Only problem is my truck is so high that my trialer looks as if its driving up hill. I actually dragged the butt end pulling out of the truck stop with cat scale. There seems to be some debate on how to raise the trailer. Any ideas. I think 4 inches would make a huge difference. Other then bottoming out I want the weight to be evenly distributed over the trailers tires.
Thanks for the help in advance.

i know what you mean, I lowered the hitch position a couple years ago to level the king pin side, but last year found that I was getting to close to the bed when backing into a couple campsites. I had to slide the hitch back to keep it from hitting. I raised it back up this year in prep for the new camper...we will see how that sits.

 

Have you considered flipping the axles?

Click.

 

Ditto on the axle flip.

 

Only two ways to go: Lower the truck or raise the trailer (flip ). Oh, there IS one more...... replace the pin on the trailer with a higher/longer one.

 

some pin boxes adjust a little, but I would be very careful on that one.

Also what about going to a larger rim/tire for the 5er? That may help a little but not 4"

 

Thanks for all the replies. Drove out to the storage lot yesterday to take a look. The axles on the Montana are already flipped. At least if I understand correctly they are, the axle sits under the leaf springs. There is a 1 inch block that sits on top of the axle between axle and springs. I wonder if someone could machine a 4inch block and buy some longer u bolts. I really dont want to lower the truck I like the way it sits and looks. Ofcourse I forgot my tape measure I wanted to check out how far the actual *** of my trailer was from the ground when level.
Thanks for the ideas. Im thinking I may just leave it alone for camping season and see what happens.
