    Feedback - Nose High - 5th Wheel Towing

    Would love some feedback - New to this community. The axles are already flipped. I have 6"-7" clearance from rails. I feel like I am slightly nose high. I would like to install some airbags to reduce some of the sag, but that is going to cause me to be a little higher on the nose. Any thoughts?

So this being new to me I am curious...
