I bought a 7/8 coupling nut and planned to use it in the pin and a big bar on the other end . Chickined out tho as mine was in there good . Made it easy to decide the pin was good enuf and just install the big bushing and call it a day . It was Beer :30 by then anyways .
You back up to your 5th wheel trailer yet to see if you will be able hook to it ?

I ordered up the parts to do both sides, but the more I research this the more I am leaning towards changing or at least checking everything that seals or moves so that I don't have anything to worry about for a while.
As for the trailer, well I measured it the other day and it was close with the original tires. It will definitely be on the high side with the new sneakers. I still need to install a GN hitch in the truck. I put a GN adapter on my trailer so that I didn't have to install a FW hitch on each of my trucks. I will definitely be looking into this further once I get front end fixed.
