Lowering the rear ends is not smart. First of all that 5th wheel needs to be a very small range of height above the pavement. Second of all you have a literal train of gears flowing power from the shaft back there, lowering the rears will cause you to suffer a failure back there that will totally explode your wallet.
You will impose more stress on your freight. Shake it up even more. Maybe even shake something loose in that tractor if you havent already. -

Car haulers are purpose built.
If you took a tractor and lowered it many people say you need to accomodate the steering, alignments etc on the front and then the final drives on the rear.
I did not say it's impossible. Just make sure when you drop that thing you do it proper so that all the drive train angles remain.AModelCat Thanks this. -
