I think you will be fine, once you put it on there it way settle an inch or two and then be just about right.

 

I'm betting you need to lift the RV up 4" to be level. (while maintaining at least 6" clearance from the top of the bed rail to the bottom of the RV overhang.)

 

I found one other thing that solves the problem. Saw it in mrtruck.com

Trailer Hitch|Gooseneck Horse Trailers|5th Wheel RVs|Flatbed Goosenecks|Fifth Wheel

Maybe for a very small load but I would not trust that with any real weight.

 

yeah i get what you mean. they show it with horse trailers and some smaller 5th wheels, so it might be fine. just thought id put it out there.

 

It indicates pin wt of 6300 lbs...but looking at the pic you cannot do that.

 

I really need your help. I am purchasing the same camper and have a 6 inch lift with 37 inch tires. Do you know the total height of your camper with the AC after you lifted it. Where I live the legal height is 13'6 .. I also have people telling me I don't need to lift it .. i diagreee, I think it will ride really Nora high and not have enough rail clearance. My rail height on my truck is 64 inches. Any idea what yours is? Any suggestions ? Would you recommend doing this? I am planning of pulling the trigger Friday!! Please get back to me . Your pic is the only reason I signed up for this forum lol. Please no one else comment not to lift a camper ! Lol I'm aware of all the myths ..

 

What should the bed heigth be on a f550 super duty 2012 for a 5th wheel hitch

 

is your camper under 13'6ft?? Please get back to be as soon as you can. Purchasing the same camper and I also have a 6" lift. Thanks!

 

We just transitioned from bumper pull to a 5th wheel, the same one you mentioned. I was pulling it with a '08 F250 4X4 King Ranch, stock height with the 20" tires. It sat quite high and barely squatted when the 5er was attached. Anyway, with the hitch adjusted to give 6" of clearance at the bed rails the 5er was nose high maybe 3". I never bothered with lifting the 5er because we were looking for a new truck. Now have a 2011 F250 2WD which is considerably lower than the '08.

 

What if someone said to you; "How would you like to improve the fuel economy, performance, handling, and safety of your truck". You would jump at it right.

Just remove any lift that you have installed. I know you don't have one yet. But, just making a point.

 

That is a beautiful setup

 

When we got our 5th, our stock 4x4 F350 bed rails were 1 inch above hitting the 5th wheel. Absolutely no clearance. We relocated the 5th axles from above the springs to below the springs and gained 5"of trailer height. As a side effect the bottom steps were now not just 1 inch off the ground, and were evenly spaced with the other steps and the ground. Don't just spin the axels 180* after relocating them, weld on new spring seats perfectly opposite of the old ones on the axle or you'll blow thru the inside tread of your tires and have alignment issues.

 

Sorry Guys, I haven't been on in a while. Lifting a camper SAFELY is easy, but yes you need to know the height before you start.

My 5th wheel in the above post was as stable lifted as it was factory.
