towed the fiver with the conversion for the first time

took the family to cali with the fiver and the conversion in place

used the rv5 10 inch pin box extender to give more room around the sleeper
raised the suspension on the fiver 2 inches the accomodate the taller ram, removed two of the spacer plates on the rams rear suspension to lower the back end, sits about 2 inches lower at the tailgate now, much more room for the fiver

truck will need a fiver tailgate to be completely free from the pin box

Mckinley conversion seems to work well even with the fiver

middle row of seats came in today i will post new pics when the seats are in

I had discussed doing that type of conversion with my wife. Nice to see the pics of what the inside looks like afterward .... looks better than I imagined.

What is the cost of that conversion ? (if you don't mind me asking)

you're going to come in around 3500-4000 depending on your options

it actually looks better in real life than in the pics

i hesitated on doing the conversion but with the new little one on the way i didn't have a choice. liking it more and more every day
