are your air bags inflating?

Get model # off of fith wheel... in model # will be your current stand height... go to dealer or parts house that sell your brand fith wheel and order taller stands... there are usually many differnt height choices.... changing them out is not that hard, also makes the perfect time to rebuild your pivits if the need it.... I guessing your tractor was set up to pull high cube trailers and now your pullin trailers with tall suspensions and possibly tall rubber? not a hard fix....

u must check the fifth wheel height ....bags inflated, fifth wheel level like when under a trailer ...height should be 48" max to the ground or you won't be able to haul a van ... then you can figure how much to raise it .... any good welder should be able to do it for a couple of hundred bucks
