when attached to our hdt the cyclone sits a bit front low
three options
1) drop the pin box (i believe this would add torque to the 5er and would mess up the pin box cover; so thinking this is a bad option)
2) raise the 5th wheel hitch on the hdt (totally viable option)
3) lower the cyclone via moving the spring attach points 1 bolt hole lower where they attach to the frame (appears to be an option) (moves the rig about 3 inches closer to the ground)
i like the lowering of the cyclone option as it would get the 5er closer to the ground when parked (I have a young daughter and both her and her puppy have issues crawling up to the bottom step) are there any negatives to lowering the 5er? i don't believe it will rub on anything; additionally having the springs in the lowest total height setting would lesson the stress which the spring shackles put on the frame.
thoughts?
anyone lower their cyclone?
