Question:
I Have a 2017 Crusader Lite and a 2018 ram 2500. King Pin ser # 019-001094468 With the 1621 king pin the 5th wheel its not level. Do you have a upgrade king pin that will help level the RV ? Thanks

I reached out to my contact at Lippert who said that the correct pin box for your 2017 Crusader Lite is the 1621 # LC1191191. Although we do have replacement pin boxes and pin box upgrades, like the 5th Airborne Premium # RP78FR, I have a few things for you to check first.
There are some adjustment holes on the wings of the pin box so you can try adjusting the height of the pin box. Most 5th wheel hitches have height adjustment options as well so that is something else you can look at.
If you adjust both the pin box and your 5th wheel hitch and your trailer is not level then it would be more effective to adjust the height of your trailer than to get a replacement pin box as other replacement pin boxes will have the same general height adjustments. You can either use the Lift Kit # RR23QX to raise the height of your trailer 2-1/4" and give you some additional adjustment points or an over-under kit like part # K71-384-00 for a 2-3/8" axle or # K71-385-00 for a 3" axle. The over-under kits will raise the height of your trailer the equivalent of the diameter of your axle plus the height of your leaf spring stack.
