Just added the jt strongarms to the new 5er and was lookin around for the levels, couldn't find them am I missing something? This is our first new rig and I figured they would be mounted in the same areas as the last but I guess I'm wrong. And as far as the jt's they are great made a huge difference in movement. I was a little skeptical after reading some posts about them not working but they definitely do.
Levels? Am I missing something? Also a rave for jt strongarms

Before I had the 6 point level-up I liked the large level on top of the hitch on your fiver. That way I could see side to side level without getting out of the truck when backing in to your site. Make sure you mount the forward aft level in a place that you can see while adjusting the up-down button.

Hey Bernie - when I first got the trailer I was doing that. But something didn't seem right when leveling. Turns out my pin box is not square to the trailer
Not much and not enough for me to do anything about other then level form a different area.

Get the trailer level however you can. Use at least a 24" long spirit level to confirm side to side and front to back. Then set the exterior levels to indicate level and attach even if they are not square with the hitch cover, pin box or trim molding.
