Lowest Bolt Hole to Bottom of King Pin for 5th Airborne 5th Wheel Air Ride Coupler # 5AB-E510-710

Question:

Im looking at replacing my lippert 1116 with the 5ab-e510-710. by looking at the specs and per Reese it will fit. My question is I need the rise/height measurement from the king pin pad to the first or lowest bolt hole that mount onto the trailer. I already have a tall truck along with flipped axles on the trailer. Im just worried this pin box will make the trailer ride high in the front. Right now I have 7 of height with the Lippert 1116 from the fifth wheel pad to the first mounting holes. Thank you,

I went out to the warehouse to measure a 5th Airborne Premium Fifth Wheel Air Ride Coupler, # 5AB-E510-710. From the center of the bottom most bolt hole to the bottom of the plate that holds the king pin, it measures 4-1/2 inches. From the center of the bottom most hole to the bottom of the king pin itself it measures 7-1/2 inches. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you to view.
