Truck good for 5th wheel?

[daledevon]

I have a 2005 f350 with 35's on it. Is it easy to adjust a 5th wheel hitch with this height?

Might be much harder to get the trailer to tow level with that kind of tire height.

Welcome to the forum.

All equipment is different, every setup varies somewhat, based on only your truck?
Usually a truck running 35"s has been leveled too? Getting a 5r's axles loaded properly and maintaining proper bed / front cap clearance can indeed be a real challenge if even possible. How much towing are you planning?
The process of physically adjusting a hitch an / or pin box is not that demanding with the correct tools. You'll possibly want to replace the deformed lock washers and re- torque appropriately. Best of luck.

Personally I would not do it. If the axles on the trailer have not been flipped you can raise the trailer about 3 inches. Other than that I would suspect you would have to modify the trailer suspension to get it level. You could encounter all kinds of handling problems with a modified suspension. Yes you can raise and lower the hitch and then you have the problem of clearing the bed rails or getting the trailer level. Without a level trailer you have all kinds of problems Safety for one and the tire wear and excess load on trailer axle. Proceed with caution.
