I know how to shift 4 rail rims by loosening the eccentrics but my question is how do I shift my 5 rail rims? Do I just remove the rim rail stops and shift or is there more to it? TIA.

Remove rail stops and then loosen all five big nuts to flush or half-way off the end of their bolt.

Thanks Dr. Do I have to jack it up or can I shift them on gravel?

Designed to get shifted with weight on them.

Id think it would work better with weight on them

Lock other wheel brake and spin it desired direction. Put lock in position you want it to stop at then assemble opposite lock to rail BEFORE tightening nuts back up. Tighten them evenly from bottom up. I wouldn't go more than a turn at a time. Works on 8000's. Type of surface doesn't matter.
