3500 level + towing

[Recontango]

Ok guys/gals, here is what I am trying to accomplish, any advice is much appreciated!

I have a 2019 3500 mega Cummins. I regularly tow ~16K# 5th wheel. I installed ride rite air system on back axle to help level when towing, it works great. My front is stock. I changed tires/wheels and am now running 35’s with very slight rub at full lock on the fender well plastic on both sides.

I want to level my front to get rid of the rub but I don’t want to have to jack up my air bags an additional 2” to stay level when towing, putting my camper geometry a bit out of whack (it already rides a tad high in the front).

Should I install the front level kit (carli) and just use my rear air bags to level when towing and just live with the trailer being a bit high?

Or, should I try to go with air bags on the front too and allow for adjustment? Something like the Kelderman or flight fabrications system?

Or is there a solution I have not considered?

thank you!

It is my understanding that leveling and towing don't really go together very well, especially with heavy trailers

Thanks, I agree in general but hoping I can get some first hand experience as well.

Only way I see it is you either level the front conventionally, and jack the ass end up higher when towing and have an angled trailer...

Or, go with some type of adjustable (air?) setup up front, so you can raise it to level when not towing, then lower it down when you do tow. I know there is a company who makes an adjustable spacer level kit, but not sure how quickly/easily they can be adjusted.

Thanks, I am leaning towards air in the front to do just what you said.

If you are going to go air, might as well go air on all four corners and use the Kelderman system that levels itself too.

This is what i was thinking of. But its a minimum of 1.5”...

Interesting, I had not seen that one. Thanks for the option.
