I had the same problem with the cable stop, so I added one from the hardware store, shown. It hasn't budged since. And with over 30k miles on the goosebox, I would never use anything else.

I just recently switched out the TrailAir kingpin that came stock on my new Raptor with a 20k goosebox. After about 1500 miles as a 5th wheel, it is a refreshing difference now with the goosebox. ...

My 2019 F350 srw rides higher than I want too. In looking at the spacer/block between the rear axle and the spring set, it looks to be about 3" high. My cousins 2020 F350 srw has blocks about 2"...

Both of your issues are what I am concerned with. I hadn't considered that solution, so I'll look into the same corrective mod with spacers for axels.
Thanks for the input.

Nose-high towing

I've completed the conversion of my kingpin to a goosebox on my Raptor 351, and the difference is everything that I hoped for, with one exception. I had first attached the goosebox at the 2nd to...

Thanks all for the timely feedback! My take away here is to work with the numbers on the trailer data labels, not generic specs. Fair enough. And this isn't the first time that I've been cautioned...

I don’t have access to the label as I’ve just been looking at ads online so far. So I’m just working off of listed specs, but common numbers for that trailer are 2 each of 7000# axels under a trailer...

My TV is a 2019 F350 with a GCWR of 28,700. GVCW is 7096. The 5er we're looking at is a GD Solitude. Understanding that the pin weight of about 3100# would not factor into the weight on the axels,...

Axel Weight Rating

We're looking at a 5er that has 2 axels, rated 7,000 lb each. The dry weight of the unit is 15,500 and the GVW is 20,000. So the question is, what exactly does the 7,000# rated weight mean?
