I'm actually working on that right now, tired of the tires rubbing the frame. Looking to get 1.5" spacers.

They pull out manually. There is two positions, all the way out is 4.5" out and there is a stop half way out at around 2" out.

Nice camper. We tow a 19' Trail Cruiser 191C hybrid travel trailer. Weighs around 3800-4000 pounds when loaded with water and gear. Decent workout for my Dakota (4.7, tow package.) Rockwoods tend to be the heavier trailers on the market. I turned away from a 19' one because it was too heavy. What's the unloaded and gross weight rating on your trailer? Make sure you use a good weight distribution hitch and sway control, along with a good brake controller (one of the Prodigies from Tekonsha.)
Be careful!

I pull an ALJO 30' BH weighs 4300 and pull it with no problem. truck sits level with no equalizer hitch. Very little tounge weight.
