Question:

I have a 2021 Arctic wolf 287bh with about 2,500 miles towing. I am using the Demco auto slide hitch with my 2017 f250. 2 issues I am having is:I cannot get the trailer level without getting too close in bed rail clearance and my front drives side tire on the trailer has a worn flat spot only on that tire. Please see pics as any help would be great!

Your trailer leveling issue is common with the newer trucks continuing to get taller. The Correct Track Trailer Alignment and Lift Kit # RR23QX will allow you to raise your 2021 Forest River Arctic Wolf 287BH by either 1-1/4 or 2-1/4" to sit closer to level on your 2017 Ford F-250.

I recommend using a Lippert Center Point # LC1565391 which will not only raise your suspension by 2" but will also greatly improve the ride quality of your trailer. The air bags help to absorb a lot of the vibration and keep your belongings safer inside your Arctic Wolf.

With the flat spot that you have on the tire it is very strange how it only appears to be on the outside edge of the tire which is generally a sign of damaged axle components. This is something that will need to be inspected by a service center to determine if there are any bent or damaged components on your axle that would cause the tire to wear in the one spot. They should also be able to help file a claim with the tire manufacturer if it is determined that there is nothing wrong with the axle on your Arctic Wolf.
