Cascadia Evolution DD15 2016 steering axle 9000 lbs

But it's important you get this 5th wheel moved forward. It's dangerous running with a "lightened" steer axle. You will notice a difference in how the rig handles when heavy, but it should be a more "positive feel", though perhaps maybe not as "smooth"

 

I was referring to if it needed to have holes drilled. Having the holes already drilled in the hard frame steel will make the cost much less. Drilling the holes would have been the most costly part of the job.

 

The only way is to call and find out

Most of the time, on the average van trailer kingpin setting, the front of the trailer sits even with the quarter fenders.
Any of you guys looking to buy a truck, keep this in mind: if it has a stationary 5th wheel, you want the 5th wheel centered between the drives.

 

Should be under $500.
Use to be that was the standard location Freightliner would install the fifth wheel, unless when spec’ing the truck you specifically said to mount it between the drives.
