    It's 36" at the center of camber & 34" at the drop & tail.
    Can load 126" to 128" depending on load placement. Maybe even 132"-134" in some states like TX for a intrastate run..

    My 5th wheel also has a 9.25" pedestal. Thinking of getting a 6" pedestal to gain a bit more, & shortening the trailer leveling rod an inch or 2. Seems like there is more than enough clearance in wheel wells..

    -Hendrickson 23k axles x2 semi fluid grease (never had a grease axle before, so we'll see how they pan out)
    -122" set to rear fixed spread
    -Continental HTL2's, 235/75r17.5 L, 5675lb in dual configuration

    I just checked and you are right. I used to run through Ok every other day at 14 ft, lucky I guess and never got busted, lol

    I was running out of Kansas, this was in the outlaw days, always overloaded and never crossed any scales, mostly at night when loaded too.
