Expert Answers about K-Z Sportsmen Fifth Wheel


  • Do Trailer Wheels Have a PSI Rating
  • In regards to a trailer wheel and tire assembly, the psi rating comes from the trailer tire and valve stem. Therefore, if the psi rating of the valve stem exceeds that of the trailer tire you will not have any issues. The trailer wheel itself does not have any sort of psi rating. The highest rated valve stem we offer is the Americana Metal, Bolt-In Valve Stem part # AM20906 which is rated for over 100 psi.

  • Recommended High PSI Trailer Wheel for a 2019 K-Z Sportsmen 5th Wheel
  • The Aluminum Bobcat Trailer Wheel part # LHSO513B for wheels with a 8 on 6-1/2" bolt pattern or the Aluminum Jaguar Wheel part # 274-000011 for wheels with a 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern is what I recommend for a 2019 K-Z Sportsmen Fifth Wheel. In regards to psi, this will come from the valve stem so as long as you use the Americana Metal, Bolt-In Valve Stem part # AM20906 you will be covered over 110 psi. If you don't already have a trailer tire picked out, the Taskmaster Premium Trailer...

  • Will the Husky Center Line Weight Distribution HT32215 Work with a 3,500 GVWR Trailer
  • Yes, the Husky Center Line Weight Distribution part # HT32215 would be perfect for a trailer with a GVWR of 3,500 lbs. This system will accommodate the trailer when empty or fully loaded, it even gives you a bit of room for the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle which gets added to the total tongue weight figure. I actually really like the Husky Center Line because there aren't many better options for the money.

  • Can Convert a Ball Adapter part # CAB-C5G Be Used with Cushioned Pin Box
  • As long as the king pin plate doesn't pivot forward and back the Convert a Ball adapter part # CAB-C5G can be used with a cushioned pin box. For example the 5th Airbornes or the standard Trailair pin boxes would be okay, but the Rota-Flexes or Flex Air pin boxes would not.

  • Does Towing Capacity for Truck Increase if Towing Gooseneck or Fifth Wheel Trailer
  • Towing capacities are pretty hard and fast. You don't get to add 30 percent to the total capacity if you are using a fifth wheel or gooseneck hitch. If the truck was designed for this type of towing there might be a second set of capacities listed but if not otherwise mentioned you would be limited by the capacity found.

  • How To Choose Upgraded Equalizers for a KZ New Vision Sportster
  • In order to choose the correct replacement or upgraded equalizer for a trailer you must first measure the equalizer you have now and then compare this to the replacement/upgrade. The Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers are a great option and will work to reduce road shock as would a shock absorber so they would be a good substitute for this. If you can provide me with the dimensions of the equalizer or rather the distance between the two lowermost eyes then I could then help you choose the correct...

  • Best Way To Lift a 2009 K-Z Sportsman 245 5th Wheel Trailer
  • In order to lift your 2009 K-Z Sportsman 245 5th Wheel Trailer, I recommend using the Tandem Axle Lift Kit part # RR23QX which will give you an additional 2-1/4" of lift. This will be the least labor intensive option we have for you by far. If your axles are not already under the leaf springs then you can move them there with the Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit part # K71-384-00 or part # K71-385-00 which would lift the trailer equal to the diameter of the axle plus height...

  • Is Kenda Karrier Wheel and Tire ST225/75R15 Balanced
  • The tire and wheel combos we carry like Karrier ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire with 15" White Wheel - 6 on 5-1/2 - Load Range D # AM32664 are not machined balanced. You can have the tire and wheel combos balanced at a local tire shop if you wanted to. What most people find is that balancing trailer tires does not offer a significant enough change or improvement for it to be worth it. I attached a review video for this wheel/tire as well as an FAQ on trailer tires for you to check out...
