Determining Proper Lift Kit for Solitude 5th Wheel Trailer

Question:

I am looking at a Solitude fifth wheel, but my truck has a 6” lift. Which lift kit would I need for the Solitude which already has the leaf springs above the axles?

The correct lift kit for your Solitude 5th Wheel Trailer is going to depend on type of axles it's equipped with. There are various model years and sub-models of the Grand Design Solitude so I wasn't able to track this information down.

What I recommend doing is simply looking for a sticker that should be located right on the axle itself. This will list the brand/model and weight capacity. If you don't yet have the trailer in hand you can also ask the dealer for this information.

For example the Torflex Lift Kit # K71-725-02 you were looking at is designed for #12 Torflex Axles that have a weight capacity of 5,500 to 7,000 pounds. If you can tell me the info you found on your axles I will be happy to verify this as a fit or recommend an alternative option that is.
