Lift Kit Solution for 2018 Forest River Arctic Wolf 285DRL4

Question

Question:

I have a 2018 Forest River - Arctic Wolf 285DRL4 5th wheel that I tow with a 2017 Ram 2500 4WD. The truck sits higher than the trailer and causes it to tow nose high. Do you have anything you can recommend to lift the 5th wheel?

Hey Carl, so the easiest option would be to lift the suspension of your 2018 Forest River - Arctic Wolf 285DRL4. For that the Correct Track Tandem Axle Lift kit part # RR23QX would be the simplest solution. This will give you a lift of 2-1/4 inches for both axles. Unless your truck is lifted this should be what allow your truck to sit as level as possible.
