    What are their requirements for a 5th wheel? Do you think mine will be too high with 24.5 tires?

    they used to not allow a certain make. can't remember which one it was. also they check for wear and king pin movement when jaws are locked. no more than 1/16 or 1/8 of an inch. not sure about height. mine is 46".

    If you have a Holland plate your jaw adjustment rod facing the cab needs to be protected for high pin. I seem to remember Schneider having a replacement plate that had a formed lip over the jaw adjustment rod but that was about 9 years ago.

    If you're running 11R24.5 tires it's going to be close for height and it's all dependent on the height of your 5th wheel riser. Schneider should have spec's with maximum 5th wheel height.

    If you send the pin over the 5th wheel more than once ........ Well you know.

    Carry on......

    DFO, you said something about a mattress. Check out Big Rig Mattress . com. That's where I got mine. A little pricey but it's the best mattress I've ever had. You won't be sorry.
