12'4" Razor in a 12' TH

I'm in the market for a Razor and would like to get the 1000 4 seat, but it's about 4" too long.
I have a Ragen 30' 5th wheel with 12' to the first cabinet which encloses the stove, so not interested in modifying the cabinet.
What have you done to fit?
I thought about letting some air out of the tires or even removing the front left as this is the only one affected. Maybe make a smaller wheel for loading/unloading?
Other option is the 900 4 seat or a 2 seater.
Let's hear some ideas.
  • Just pull in and remove the valve core from that tire. Reinstall and reinflate to exit. Less work than removing a wheel.
  • Thanks for the thought. These things are getting big and thee is only a few inches of height clearance so you couldn't raise it much anyway.
  • I've always wondered if you could raise one end a little bit to fit the longer SxS into the 12' garage.

    I just did a little math and it turns out you'd have to raise it quite a bit to gain those four inches. If my math is right, you'd need to raise one end up almost 35 inches. That seems like a lot.

    (a^2)+(b^2)=(c^2)

    If:

    (a) is the amount you would need to lift one end,
    (b) is 12 feet garage (or 144 inches), and
    (c) is the hypotenuse, the length of the 12'4" Razor (or 148 inches)

    Then:

    (34.17601^2) + (144^2) = (148^)

    That's a pretty tall lift to squeeze those extra four inches into the twelve foot garage.

    It seemed more viable in my head until I saw how much you would have to raise the end. That doesn't seem safe at all.
