This is how far out I am with the current setup, almost 10" nose high.

Dropped the pinbox 2", removed the lift plates 1.5" (after this picture was taken)

I had the springs put on top of the axles. My 2011 3/4 ton Chevy was just to high, not enough clearance between the pickup and 5th wheel. I have driven 10,000 miles and no problems. It is only a 24 foot 5th wheel. Before I had this done there was way to much weight on the rear tires.

My springs are already on top of the axles, anyways the trailer is in the shop now getting a frame lift done, wet bolts, all new spring hangers and two new springs on the kitchen side.
