What Do I Need to Do In Order to Raise My 2004 Cougar 246?
Question:
I have a 2004 cougar 246 sorry cant remember the model letters fifthwheel. The leaf springs are already above the axles. I recently purchased a new truck and it sits quite a bit higher than my older one. I need about two inches to get the trailer level. My question is what would be the best route to go with getting the right level on the trailer? I already lowered the front of the fifth wheel as far down as it will go. Thanks for all your help!

Expert Reply:
In addition to lowering the hitch on your 2004 Cougar 246, you can also adjust the pin box on the fifth-wheel trailer to lower the connection point. An additional solution for raising your trailer is to exchange your current trailer hangers for longer ones. I went ahead and linked a selection of hangers to this answer.
