2017's and 5th Wheels
How about a thread of photos of 5th wheel campers attached to 2017 SD's?
I am very interested to see how much the trucks sag, bed clearance, and the general look of the rig.
Thanks!

The front legs of the 5th wheel were just off the ground. Truck appears to be level with the weight on it.

I doubt that you will get anywhere close to 5" or even 3", I had to raise my TH to get things level again.

The srw has much lighter springs, so I'm somewhat hopeful. I'm leaning away from the 5th wheel after test driving a 2017 yesterday. Your candid feedback (much appeeciated) has made the f450 a lot less appealing as well.

Did you have to flip the axles or did you have some adjustment holes on it.

I think its around 2000. The truck rake is around 3 inches and thats about the squat. I doubt it would squat 5inches.

3" is good. We have over 900# of people and dog, plus 500# more pin. Maybe I'll get 4". 1" or 2" nose-high doesn't concern me.
