They are still claiming 75 and cloudy in the morning with sun in the afternoon. I may have to wash the car today.

You going to try and tackle your truck today? Wish I had the day available but we have family obligations all afternoon.

Well...............................

Truck sits great with the camper on there, almost perfectly level. Camper only drops the back ~2"

The camper, not so much.

There is about a 7" clearance between the bed rails and the camper. The hitch is also in it's highest setting. I found a level spot and measured the camper from the ground to the frame. 25 3/8" in the front and 19" in the back. 6 3/8" difference. So, to me, it looks like I can drop the hitch 1" (6" clearance @ bed rails) which will help a little but I don't think that will even get me close to level with the camper.

Looking like the lift will have to come out after all......

That's 3 miles from my house. My drive was short I find out.

Nice meeting you too Tom, Jay and everybody else today. Thanks you Dave and Cary for hosting and everyone for making me feel welcomed. After hearing the camping story I'm sure I'll fit in and might just tag along some weekend.

Glad I could help with something. I'm disappointed I didn't get to see the results though. I'll stick around longer next time.

We laughed about the material cost for this repair.


I had a great time everyone and I'll be back for more.

I don't think so Jay. Maybe a different weekend.

Got enough other crap to do today anyhow.

Mike, that sucks. An 1" at the pin can make a decent difference at the rear bumper though...

Jim, glad you came and had a good time. Since you didn't stay for food, you didn't need to bring either, but we did make use of it. So thanks for coming, and hope to see you more!!!

It's almost sunny here today. It's bright out, but no visible sign of the sun yet...
