Skid Wheel Recommendation for 43 Foot Fifth Wheel
Updated 04/24/2018 | Published 04/23/2018
Question:
Its 124 inches from the back of the rear tire to the back of our 5th wheel. As you can see on the attached photo, I have another repair to be done. Im wondering if this is the best skid roller for a 43 foot, 18000 lb 5th wheel. Ive read reviews that said that a skid roller can cause frame problems - but as you can see - we have cross frames every 2 feet on this rig. Also, should I go with one on each side or 3 one in the middle as well?

Expert Reply:
The skid wheel part # UF48-979023 would work well for you as it's the largest size we have to fit your trailer. This shouldn't hurt your frame strength either. The more you have the better it will distribute the weight. So going with one on each side and the center will work best.
