CANNOT_INSERT_UPDATE_ACTIVATE_ENTITY: LeadTrigger: execution of BeforeUpdate caused by: System.StringException: Ending position out of bounds: 5 Trigger.LeadTrigger: line 58, column 1\n

I'm getting this error on my lead trigger when a lead is updated.

The offending line is in the code below where it says:

                            String zipStringx = l.PostalCode.substring(0,5);


Does anyone know how I could tweak this code to prevent that error?  Thanks.  Here's the full code for hte lead trigger where this occurs:
 
/*Begin Processing United States leads*/
        if(Trigger.isInsert || Trigger.isUpdate){  
        
            if(HelperClass.firstRun2){
                
            HelperClass.firstRun2=false;          
        
            for(Lead l1: trigger.new){               
                if((UserInfo.getUserId() == Label.MarketoIntegrationUser || UserInfo.getUserId() == Label.WebsiteIntegrationUser) &&
                   (l1.RecordTypeId == leadRecordTypeId) && (l1.Country == 'United States' || 
                   l1.Country == 'United States of America' ||
                   l1.Country == 'USA' ||
                   l1.Country == 'U.S.' ||
                   l1.Country == 'U.S.A'
                   ) ){     
               
                    Set<String> postalCodes = new Set<String>();

                    for( Lead l : trigger.new ) {
                            if(l.PostalCode != null){
                            String zipStringx = l.PostalCode.substring(0,5);
                            postalCodes.add( zipStringx );  
                       // postalCodes.add( l.PostalCode );     
                           } else{}          
                                                                                         
                    }

                    Map<String, Zip_State_Table__c > validZips = new Map<String, Zip_State_Table__c >();

                    for( Zip_State_Table__c obj : [SELECT  Id, 
                                        Name,
                                        ZipCode__c,
                                        Territory__c                                            
                                        FROM Zip_State_Table__c 
                                            WHERE ZipCode__c IN :postalCodes] ) {
                    validZips.put( obj.ZipCode__c, obj );
                    }

                    for( Lead l : trigger.new ) {
                        if( l.PostalCode != null ) { 
                            if( validZips.containsKey(l.PostalCode.substring(0,5)) ) { 
                                l.State = validZips.get(l.PostalCode.substring(0,5)).Name;
                                l.RegionTerritoryHidden__c = validZips.get(l.PostalCode.substring(0,5)).Territory__c;
                            } else {}

                        } 
                    }
                }
                }
            }
        }

Hi RossG,
The PostalCode string is less than 5 digits.Try to debug code at below line:
if(l.PostalCode.length()>=4)
String zipStringx = l.PostalCode.substring(0,5);

Thanks a lot.  Not quite sure I understand this solution.  

So the code as it is is this:

                   for( Lead l : trigger.new ) {
                            if(l.PostalCode != null){
                            String zipStringx = l.PostalCode.substring(0,5);
                            postalCodes.add( zipStringx );  
                       // postalCodes.add( l.PostalCode );     
                           } else{}          
                                                                                         
                    }

Are you suggesting change that to this:

                   for( Lead l : trigger.new ) {
                            if(l.PostalCode != null && l.PostalCode.length()>=4){
                            String zipStringx = l.PostalCode.substring(0,5);
                            postalCodes.add( zipStringx );  
                       // postalCodes.add( l.PostalCode );     
                           } else{}          
                                                                                         
                    }

Why would I use 4 and not length() >= 5?

Hi RossG,

Please try below code :- 

/*Begin Processing United States leads*/
        if(Trigger.isInsert || Trigger.isUpdate)
        {  
        
            if(HelperClass.firstRun2){
                
            HelperClass.firstRun2=false;          
        
            for(Lead l1: trigger.new)
            {               
                if((UserInfo.getUserId() == Label.MarketoIntegrationUser || UserInfo.getUserId() == Label.WebsiteIntegrationUser) &&
                   (l1.RecordTypeId == leadRecordTypeId) && (l1.Country == 'United States' ||

                   l1.Country == 'U.S.' ||
                   l1.Country == 'U.S.A'
                   ) )
                   {

                                // postalCodes.add( l.PostalCode );     
                           } else{}

                    Map<String, Zip_State_Table__c > validZips = new Map<String, Zip_State_Table__c >();

                    }

                    for( Lead l : trigger.new ) {
                        if( l.PostalCode != null ) { 
                            if( validZips.containsKey(l.PostalCode.substring(0,5)) ) 
                            { 
                                l.State = validZips.get(l.PostalCode.substring(0,5)).Name;
                                l.RegionTerritoryHidden__c = validZips.get(l.PostalCode.substring(0,5)).Territory__c;
                            } else {}

                        } 
                    }
                }
                }
            }
        }
