Kingpin plate height 385FL

I tried searching “height” but didn’t get a good hit for kingpin base plate height. I’m setting up my 5th wheel hitch for new 385 and couldn’t garner a good level height. I’m close but was curious if anyone had any hitch height details on their rig.
TIA for any advice.

I now have possession of the 385FL and will answer my own question in case it comes up for someone else. A Level kingpin box plate height is just over 50”. I guessed it right to do my initial 5th wheel hitch height. My Silverado 3500 DRW squat about 2” when the jacks lifted. Overall I have 6” clearance from the bed rail to the nose so that worked out too. I may be a smidge nose high but the next step down on my Curt Poweride 30k is 1.25” down and I don’t like losing that 6” clearance. I wish you all safe towing on your adventures.
