How to Raise the Height of a 2018 Prime Time Crusader 315 5th Wheel Trailer

Updated 01/07/2019 | Published 01/05/2019

Question:

I have a 2018 primetime Crusader 315 with Lipard 3.0 ground control leveling system, the left rear jack was installed several feet behind the the rear tire because of a tip out, it appears there is not much clearance and was mounted and is really close to the ground, I am concerned that it will get damaged as it is not in close proximity to the tire, any suggestions how I could gain more ground clearance? Thank you.

If you are wanting to raise the height of your 2018 Prime Time Crusader 315 then the best option is to use an over-under kit. From what I could find online you likely have 3" diameter axles so the conversion kit that you would need to install is part # K71-385-00.

An over-under conversion kit will raise the height of your 5th wheel trailer equivalent to the diameter of your axle plus the height of your leaf spring stack.

If your axle is already placed under your leaf springs then your only other option is to have the current suspension hangers cut off and longer ones welded on.

Please note that you will have to re-level your whole setup if you were to add height to your 5th wheel trailer.
