I also upgraded the wheels and tires to Sailum 17.5". I have my hitch down as low as I could that left me with about 5" above the bed rails. I lifted the trailer by installing the Correct Track system and Lippert said I could not use the Centerpoint air ride system so I got the Equa Flex system. Took it out for a test drive and really bucked and rode terrible. I called Lippert and asked them why I am not able to use the Centerpoint system and they ended up checking with there engineering and they said it would be ok to use the CenterPoint again. I had a hard time understanding why I couldn't use a $1600 Centerpoint system and have to use a $300 Equa Flex system. So I was just out of 2 days of working on it and $300. + bushings and bolts...UGH. Well it still has a fair bit of chucking issues. The truck squats a lot so I am thinking of airbags on the truck. Not sure if this is the trick or not. Any ideas

Thanks for the reply. The dry weight is 11,500 ish and loaded last summer was mid 14,000 we I scaled it. Before I lifted it it squatted so but now I have rase the 5er so it has more pin weight now. It had some chucking but livable before I raised it and it has now increased some. We are leaving in 5 weeks to the Utah Nalt Parks and want the ride in the best shape I can. This MS is the small one so it is only 33'8" not as bis as the others. I got told by a neighbor that has a Big Country 5er and he told me I need to get the air bags and that should be the answer. I just spent a bunch doing the lifting plus the tiles and 9I have it in the Paint shop getting the front cap upper section due to peeling of the paint so wanted to find out if this would do the trick I or am I wasting my money. SWD is not the issue (well as far as I believe) cause it pulls good and no swaying.
