Fifth Wheel Lift Kit - Arrived
Just received the lift kit for our fifth wheel from Pilgrim. It will raise the 5'ver 4" and increase the bed rail clearance. Right now there is only 5.5" of clearance.

On our first outing, the tailgate cracked the hitch light.:eek

It doesn't look too difficult to install. The hardest part will be jacking and blocking it up safely while the frame blocks are installed. I will take some before and after pictures just in case anyone is interested.

Installed
I installed the blocks to raise the fifthwheel over the weekend. It took a little longer than I first thought. Some of the holes for the bolts were a little off.

After it was installed I did drop the kingpin down. Now I have no clearance problems between the fifthwheel and the truck bedrail.

I can give more specific details if anyone else needs to do this.

I'd love to see your pictures of the install.

Re: Installed
Where did you buy your lift kit from?

How much did it cost?

Is the lift kit a bolt on or a weld on unit?
