Adjusting Ride Height on FW

[joeyb]

Just picked up a 2015 Sprinter 269FWRLS. So far so good. I can tell the opt front A/C is going in ASAP (down here in FL). My question is my 09 F250 Crew Short bed squats down a little and the FW rides slightly high in front. I have about 8" between FW and bed hitched up. If I were to level the truck with air bags or whatever would one adjust hitch higher or king pin lower? Have a 16k Reese Slider. Appreciate and suggestion

We have the same hitch. Ended up moving the pin box up And the hitch head down to get the 5er level. I didn't like how close the side plates (frame) of the pin box came to the truck bed sides when we only moved the hitch up. We needed two holes to attain level. Moved down one on the hitch and up one on the pin box.

Ok I see what your saying. I'll need to work on leveling truck 1st, then determine if its a combo adjustment of both. Thanks

I wish I could drop the front of my Sprinter down a tad. The king pin is all the way up and my hitch (Curt 20k) is all the way down on my 09 2500 Chevy. If I pull with any additional weight in the bed I usually put 55#'s of air in the bags to level it and firm it up. Tends to raise the top of the trailer a little.
