Can Pin Box of Trailer Be Lowered To Lower Nose of Trailer
Question:
I want to lower the front of my fifth wheel over my truck. I have about 9inch of clearance over my bed rails. My hitch is a pullrite. Do they make a king pin box with a flatter profile. I would like to get it 2inch lower without changing my reversing my springs on my fifthwheel.

Expert Reply:
You should be able to unbolt your pin box and then install it in a higher set of mounting holes on the trailer frame and that would allow the nose of the trailer to sit lower.
As long as you have 6 inches between the bed rails and the trailer overhang you'd be good.
