Has anybody tried pairing the WSI Kenworth with the DM 2X3X2 lowboy? Can anybody share a photo or two of that combo? I don’t have either but am considering both. Thanks.

Here you go Claus. You will need to drill a larger hole in the 5th wheel for the king pin. If you have the two axle jeep, both sets of wheels are on the ground. If you make a three axle jeep, the front axle is a just a hair high.     100_2233 by Ken Wheeler, on Flickr"/>  100_2234 by Ken Wheeler, on Flickr"/>  100_2235 by Ken Wheeler, on Flickr"/>  100_2236 by Ken Wheeler, on Flickr"/>

Not a bad idea Claus, I have one. Here is what it is usually hooked to.  96153735_2875183722599634_8385834125436649472_n by Ken Wheeler, on Flickr"/>

Ken would it be possible to make a new trailer kingpin vs drilling the fifth wheel out on the truck?

You would have to cut the old one off the bottom of the jeep neck, drill it, and install a new king pin. If you drill the 5th wheel, you only need a little touch up paint around the hole. If the hole is too big for other trailers, I have inserted a small brass tubing sleeve in there for the smaller pin. In the above pictures, I slid the 5th wheel back and have the jeep neck pin "sitting" in front of the 5th wheel, and you can't notice it.
