Question:

My axles are already flipped axles under leaf springs and I need at least another 2-3inch more. 5th wheel rides extremely nose high behind my 14 Ram 3500. What is the best path forward, pin box and 5th wheel are both maxed out on adjustment. 5200 lb tandem axle leaf spring set up. Thank you.

Adding an over/under kit like # K71-385-00 is by far the best way to add lift and realistically it may not be possible to gain another 3 inches. The only other thing you can really do is remove your current hangers and have new ones professionally welded on. The longest option are the 5-7/16" Tall # 115919 so your current hangers would have to be significantly shorter for you to get more height.
