- Will a 5th Airborne Extended Air Ride Coupler Provide More Turn Clearance
- An extension would be helpful in getting your Fifth Wheel at 90 degrees. If you are close to being able to turn 90 degrees now, an extension should be enough to do the trick. The 5th Airborne Air Ride coupler should also provide a smoother ride for you as well.
You will select a 5th Airborne based on your pin box. Check the pin box and find the make and model. Write back and I will be able to help you find the proper part.

- Can Fifth Wheel Hitch be Used in 2010 GMC Sierra with Tool Box
- You can most likely use the tool box, but I would recommend taking a few measurements to make sure there will not be any clearance issues. You will need to make sure that the height and depth of the tool box will not interfere with the fifth wheel trailer.
If the height of the front of the trailer loft clears the top of the tool box by at least 6 inches, you should be just fine.
The fifth wheel hitch is installed on the truck so that the king pin sits directly over the center of the rear

- Troubleshooting Truck Sidewall Clearance on a 2008 F-350 Long Bed 4WD Towing a Carriage 5th Wheel
- The first thing I would check is the fifth-wheel hitch in the bed of your truck. Typically the hitch is height adjustable and can be moved to the highest position for bedside clearance.
Going with a standard pin box instead of an extended one will only change the location of the king pin which will bring the trailer closer to the rear of the vehicle. You may then have clearance issues with the trailer loft and the cab of the truck depending on the width of your trailer.
