2004 PSDTowing Question
Hello,
I have a 2004 PSD with a 6" DR all spring lift running 37" tires with 4.56's. I am in the market to purchase a weekend warrior 39' 5th wheel.
My question:
Is anyone running this setup of rig/5th wheel.....and......did you have to flip the axles on the 5th wheel. I have heard both yes and no. Does it sit level without the axles flipped?
Thanks

hey,
i have a 04 6.0 with a 4" front and 2" rear lift with 315's and i haul a 30' big tex deck over with no problem, the big tex is a goose neck and i had to shorten it up with the adjusment on the gooseneck itself. i've tried hooking up to my buddy 44' 5th wheel enclosed car trailer but the back of it is only like 3" from the ground while sitting on level ground.

Thank you guys. I'm a glorified shadetree mechanic with alot of tools and nice shop setup....I am assuming this is something I can do......Is it a matter of rewelding spring perches or just loosening u-bolts (and other stuff) and rotating the axles 180 degrees? Sorry for all the stupid questions, but I have not looked at one of these trailers to figure it out.
Thank you for your time.

Don't rotate the axles. They move from above the springs to below the springs. The axle has a camber to it, rotating them will make the camber in the wrong direction. You'll be replacing tires every couple hundred miles.

There are lift kits for trailers to do this properly.
