I recently bought a newer truck to tow my 30ft 11k 5th wheel. I may have to have the axles flipped. Can anyone tell me what to expect on normal cost, problems to watch out for etc. Thanks

Depending on local welding shop rates maybe a hundred dollars per axle. If your paying for the whole job maybe 500 dollars.

My local place charges around $200 total for a double axle trailer.

Get your alignment checked after to assure proper alignment and good tire wear.

Not sure if you're doing it yourself. It could be free if perches are already welded on top of your axle. Or dexter sells a kit for ~$50 per axle.

Locally they charge $150 per axle. I just did another triple axle 5vr for my buddy. Total cost in parts was under $40.

I wish there was someone I could trust in the Phoenix area that would do this exact kit to my TH.
I do not have the time or space to even attempt it.
