- Recommended Solution to Fix Nose High 2020 Palomino Puma 5th Wheel
- I have a solution for you to get your 5th wheel level with your tow vehicle, but trying to adjust the pinbox in the manner you're referring to is not a safe adjustment to make and likely would create a different set of issues.
The best solution for your trailer would be to install a lift kit that would correct your nose high issue.Without knowing your precise model and the capacity of the axles that are on your Palomino Puma 5th wheel, we've previously seen similar Palomino Puma 5th wheels...

- At a bare minimum you want 1" of clearance between the tires on your tandem axle trailer, more is better. You are correct, the tire can expand when it heats up which would definitely be a safety concern if your tires are rubbing together which could cause some serious issues. You will want to switch back to the original tire size which should give you the clearance you need to be safe.
For an ST235/80R16 replacement tire I recommend the Karrier ST235/80R16 Radial Trailer Tire # AM10248....

- The Swagman Traveler XC2 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 2" Hitches or RV Bumpers # S64663 is designed to work with the 2" receiver on your truck as well as the included RV bumper mount receiver so you should have no problems using the threaded hitch pin on your truck's receiver. It sounds like either the threads on the hitch pin are stripped or the hitch pin hole on your truck's receiver is too far back for the shank of the bike rack. If you could provide some pictures and additional details of...

- Since you've already upgraded your pin box to help deal with the chucking the next step would be to upgrade the suspension on the trailer to help combat the road shock you've been experiencing. For this I recommend the Roadmaster Comfort Ride Shock Absorbers for Tandem Axle Trailers - 5,200-lb to 7,000-lb Axle # RM-2460.
This system has heavy-duty shocks that reduce trailer bounce, chucking, and porpoising. It's a bolt-on installation so you don't have to worry about welding on any components....

- The Curt multi fit hitch part # 13703 would work great for you as it is a multi fit RV hitch that fits 22-72 inch wide trailer frames and has a 350 lb tongue weight capacity. This will work great with the Hollywood Racks HR1700 # HLY64FR that you referenced.

- The 16 inch tire will be safe. The clearance between the fenders is more important for the suspension movement but there won't be enough front to back to have an issue with tires 2 inches apart at rest.
For your replacement I recommend the Taskmaster Provider ST235/80R16 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range E # TTWTRTM2358016E. This tire is rated for 3,520 lbs at 80 psi and speeds up to 81 mph. It comes with a 2 year limited warranty from the manufacturer.

- Lippert removed the old sticker gauge from their Trailair Air Ride pin boxes # LC158778 because they were receiving a lot of complaints about it not matching up with the smoothest ride depending on the trailer. Since the pressure needed for the air bag is dependent on the pin weight, and that can vastly change depending on the trailer and what you have loaded in it, there isn't really a good catch all psi setting.
Lippert's new recommendation is to keep the air bag between 20-120psi and...

- Thank you for the picture. It looks like you have the Black Aluminum Bearcat Trailer Wheel. Although the black has been discontinued, we do still have the gunmetal gray # 274-000039. This matches your current size and bolt pattern as well. To completely match your current wheels, you will also need the Lionshead Trailer Wheel Center Cap w/ Snap-In Plug - 4.88" to 4.9" Pilot - Stainless # LHCS109-SI60C.

- When using the Road Armor Shock Absorbing Equalizer Kit # LC696740, for bolts you want ten 9/16" suspension bolts part # ABS34FR and 8 shackle straps per axle. The kit you are talking about which is part # LC64FR has the correct parts from Lippert, but not enough of them. The correct shackle straps also depends on your trailer.
If you let me know what length your shackle strap is I can recommend those too. The most common size for the type of trailer you have is a 2-5/8 inch shackle strap...
view full answer... - Will Road Armor Equalizers Work on a 2019 Palomino Puma 5th Wheel with Stock Equalizers 6 Long
- Yes. You can use the Road Armor # LC696740 to replace your stock equalizers since both are 6" from side to side, but there's a chance that you may need a slightly shorter shackle strap because of the top bolt to side bolt measurement difference between these and your stock equalizers. Because it's a small difference of only about 1/2", it may not be necessary, but you'll want to install it and see how everything sits. If you need to go to a shorter shackle strap, you can use the Shackle...

- The best option for a hitch for the rear of your 2018 Palomino Puma is the Curt # 13703 which fits frame widths of 22 to 72 inches and all frame styles.
It's hard to say if this would interfere with your leveling jacks but I attached a picture of this installed at the rear of an RV to give you a better idea that you can compare to your setup.
view full answer... - Why Do Class III Curt Hitch 17303 and 17304 Have Different Capacities
- Hitch classifications aren't always exact which is why you'll see varying capacities among them. Like you noticed the Class III # C17304 has a 5,000 lb capacity and the Class III # 13703 has a 3,500 lb capacity. My best advice is to not get too hung up on the class and instead determine if the capacity is enough for your application.

- The correct Trailair Flex Air 5th Wheel Pin Box for a 2019 Palomino Puma 257 is part # LC328492. This pin box will be an excellent upgrade over the original providing improvement in ride quality, increased handling, and reduced wear on both the truck and trailer.
In regards to dimensions, the pin box is designed to mirror that of the one it replaces although they are not always the exact same. That said, any difference in length would be minimal and would not cause any cab clearance...

- Having the air bag mounted internally like the 5th Airborne Premium Fifth Wheel Air Ride Coupler # 5AB-E1621-610 is going to protect it from the elements and UV rays that could prematurely wear the bag down. Having the air bag on the outside like the Curt Air Ride 5th Wheel Pin Box - Lippert 1621 & 1621HD - 21,000lbs # LC158778 will leave it susceptible to the elements and UV rays, but these air bags are designed to withstand the elements so you wouldn't see a massive difference in the...
