Had the camper lifted with pics

[Newblue]

I don't trust my welds to have 10 tons on them rolling down the highway so I took it to a semi chassis shop to have it lifted. They used 2"x4" tubing and gussets to lift the camper 4" on torsion axles.

I realize why you did it but to me it look3d better before. Too much wheel well and now the tires look too small.

My 5th wheel looks same; axles flipped. It was that way when I got it. But, my stock RAM2500 sits tall enough that if not for the axle flip the 5th wheel would be really low in back. It would also have bad clearance to the top of the bed at the tailgate. It shows a LOT of wheelwell...

Newer 5th wheels seem designed to make up for the taller trucks(mine is a '98).

Yeah, it doesn't look as good but it got old scraping the back end. Coming home frome Michigan we pulled out of a tractor supply and scraped so bad all six tires were off the ground! The Cummins grunted that day.

Who built the trailer? Dexter advises against using torsion axles in triples. Something about the torsion axles are okay with double loading but triple loading is out.

Storm Trailers out of Ft. Wayne Indiana. Most of the race haulers are triple axle/torsion to get clearance on the inside for vehicles. They need to sit level to get all three axles loaded evenly, another reason to lift the trailer with my high truck.

Good idea and I think it all looks perfect---Including the perfect 90 degree angle in your grass/driveway---A little picky?--razzing you obviously.

I second this!! What year is the Dodge?

Very nice setup. Totally dig the front bumper. I like my trailers to set level also. The extra height is nice on inclines. Less worry about dragging the rear of the trailer.
