Towing new 5th wheel

Hello Everyone, going to pick up our new fifth wheel, 2012 Sabre REQS, in two weeks. I am pulling it with a 2008 F350 4X4 and I was wondering if their are any issues that I should be aware of like needing to flip the axles or anything? Thanks in advance

Unless you modified the suspension on your truck you shouldn't have any problems. Both the hitch and the kinpin box are adjustable.

If you adjust both the pin box and hitch, you should be able to get it level and that is important. With 4 wheel drive it is somewhat higher and I have heard of some people having leveling problems. The dealer should level it before you you pull out.
