Thank you to everyone. Your input were very helpful. I have an appointment with a rv repair shop to lower my pin box to the max so it will level my nose down and I will also have them cut off the wings on the box so I don't have anymore problems. once again THANK YOU.

Re: 5th wheel hitch

Thank you for your info. I have a 2001 F350 and have 6 inches clearance from top of rail to bottom of trailer. I also a slight nose down so a lift of 2 or 3 inches won't throw the level off by much. As far the truck blocks I don't really know what you're referring to. Any info is helpful. Thanks again
