Upgrade to 16" wheels on Reflection 150 Series 5th wheel

[powerscol]

Good to know. I understand that the 2017-19s are even taller...
Here is my rig now, and I'm thinking of lowering my in bed hitch one notch to even it out better.

It looks good from the photo as it is. What is your bed rail clearance. You need at least 7" More is better

I think the 2017-2019 Super Dutys were about 1.5" taller in the bed than the 2020. The downside on using the F-350 for the Reflection 150 series is the relatively light pin weight. You get less than 2" of truck sag. So the challenge is to get close to level towing without making the bed-to-RV overhang gap too small. Better to be a little nose high than tear up your bed. Replacing the stock 15" wheels with 16" wheels will raise the trailer 1.25" to 1.6" depending on the tire size selected.

Well I'm so glad you think so, because the head can't be lowered anyway, I just checked. lol
I'll recheck the bed clearance again tomorrow.

I guess I'm okay then for now. Not sure what will happen when I get a new truck though, probably an F250 with about 3k payload is my goal.

If you getting a diesel you will need a 350 for that. F350 is a better by anyway for the better rear axle in the SRW set up

Probably not getting a diesel this time. But I hear you on the F350...

I have been looking very hard at the 7.3 Godzilla gas engine. It has the same power of my current 6.0 diesel. Might be worth considering - and it is not that expensive of an upgrade.. I may wait for the 2022 - hopefully they will offer the updated interior the F150 has and that 3000w inverter package you can get on the 150 that's not offered on the super duty's yet.

Measurements
Bed rail to 5w between 8 and 9 inches
5w frame to top of spring perch plate less than 6.5 inches

BTW, when I picked up my 5w today and they were towing it out of their yard, I heard all kinds of popping noises as it rolled along over uneven pavement. Even when he backed it up a few feet. That doesn't seem right...

I have a spare 16" mag and tire if anyone is interested. It is brand new 2020 from Grand Design. It is a Westlake tire size is ST235 80 R16.

Some popping noises are normal as trailers are designed to flex. During the PDI did the dealer grease the suspension wet bolts. If no do so. Also check the torque on the spring perch U-bolts on the axles
