    Hey fellas. Friend of mine is wantin to put 1/2 fenders on his truck and asked me what height he should be. Not really certain, so I thought I would ask here. The truck is a 387 Pete with the Low Leaf Air suspension. Also he pulls a flat. Preciate any help.

    i always make it a rule to not go higher than the center of pivit pins on 5th wheel. or just dump air out of suspension and lay a two by four on dual to set the right height.

    Depends what tires he has. If he has LP 22.5's he'll be OK. I have LP 24.5's and a low 5th wheel on the pete in the sig and I had to remove the sliding winches from some of our trailers and bolt the winches to the side rail.
