I love the new design and the look of the stance but is it to high for towing a 5th wheel camper? When hooked up the camper is nose high, with enough clearance to keep the camper off the side rails. I'm thinking the camper needs to be raised. Has anyone put a lift kit on thier camper or is there simpler way around this. The camper is a 30' 5th wheel and weighs about 9000 lbs the axles are dexter torflex. Etrailer.com has a lift kit that's for this type of axle. If you have lifted your camper to work with the 17 f250 how much did you lift it. Thanks for your help.

 

It's not unusual to lift a camper if the truck is higher than the trailer. I imagine some dimensionals is what you need to figure it all out.

 

Let me know what you find out. I have an F350 and have the same problem. have already swapped the rear 350 blocks for 250 blocks. Still to high.

 

I sure hope it isn't for all 5th wheels I was hoping to put a 2" level in mine with bags. I guess I should wait till I get it out of storage. Do you have pics?

 

I'm new to the forum and about ready to pull the trigger on a new F350 SRW CCSB. I had not thought about the truck being to high. Is this true even of the newer 5th wheel RV's

 

The bed sides are taller than the 2015 that I have, they are 1.5" taller from bed floor to the bed rail. Measuring from the ground to the bed rail at the center of the rear wheel is 3/4" taller then my 2015. The comparison was a 2017 Platinum to 2015 Platinum. So it looks like the bed floor is lower but the bed sides are taller.

 

Another note is they way the 5th wheel sits on the picture bellow I have 8" of clearance, bed rail to 5th. So I will have about 6.5" with the new truck when I get it.
