My 5th wheel has an adjustable king pin and I want to raise the pin one set of bolt holes. If you have done this, is there any cautions or info I should consider other than it is very heavy?

i'm just thinking out loud as i have never dealt with a 5th wheel (other than big trucks) before. but is there a way to hookup to camper and use your landing gear to put a little pressure on it and then remove the bolts and then use landing gear to raise it to desired height and then replace bolts in the other holes.

i'm asking basically so i'll know if i'm ever in this situation myself.

thanks

thomas
