Has anyone taken out the 2" spacers blocks from the bottom of the spring pack and moved them to the top to get your 5th wheel level? If so how much pin weight are you putting back on the truck? When you load your 5th wheel up does your truck sag a lot?

 

I tried to remove the 2 small blocks under the springs to lower the rear by 1". I thought I could seperate them but after beating on it for way to long, I gave up. Do they come off?

 

Im pretty sure the centering pin goes through the spacers did you take it all apart catmn?

 

I removed the rear spacers, helped level my fiver and the truck drops a bit below level with 2800 lbs of pin wt.Put about 5000 miles on last winter ,towed great.

 

No I didn't take apart, all I did was take the U-bolts off and lift up the spring to clear the axle and beat on them. Stupid question I have.... Do I need to totally take the springs off the truck and put on the bench just to take the small blocks off? Thanx

 

You have to pull the single bolt that ties all the springs together tight,center bolt under the cap held-on with the U-bolts,**** you were almost there.lol

If you look around in here you will find a thread with pics,very simple just move spacer to the top and put back together,only problem is when you remove rear brake caliper bolts wont come completely out of the caliper,still comes off though.

 

Here you go!

OHHHHHHHHHHHH man. You're right. I was right there. Oh well. Call it a preflight. Hey thanks for the GREAT link. I'll be able to do it in 1/2 the time now.
A big THANX!

 

Thanks so much guys...I saw that link a while ago but I could not remember where I saw it.

Can someone tell me the torque values on the U-bolts and the bolts that go through the springs and spacers?

Thanks

 

If you play by the rules, ubolts are not reuseable.

 

OK, where do get new U-bolts, from the dealer or just order them locally?
