Beachgirl,
I have to ask, did you check with Trailair regarding the suspension in your new 5'r? If memory serves me correctly the issue was that the Chevy truck bed height was causing the front of the 5'r to ride to high and would not allow the camper to be towed level. Adding spaces to the hitch is only going to increase that angle. By not towing a level unit you will have serious handling and braking problems. Please let us know what you discover.
