Achieving level tow with Ram 3500
New to RVing and to this forum, hope I'm doing this right. Have searched archives and sent multiple personal messages. Bought 2016 Ram 3500 4x4 SRW Cummins AISIN, tow puck option. Put $ down on...

Thanks for replies. I like the B&W BWRVK3600 hitch but lowest it will go is 17". Reese 30160 will go down to 15.75" and appears this will leave 6" clearance so may go with it. But if no squat we'll still have RV nose up about 6". Primetime says with RV level, nose to ground is 59.375". My ruler shows top of tail gate at 58". This leaves only 1.375" inch clearance btw tailgate/bed rails and RV nose with RV and TV level. Looks like best we can do is nose up about 4.5 inches unless we eat into the 6" clearance. Did I miss something????
Thanks again

Marv, when you actually see your FW, make sure there are no suspension adjustments. Often times there may be extra holes in the spring hangars to drop the springs down. If the axles haven't been flipped (springs on top of axles), you can gain 3+ inches by doing so. If there are no holes and axles are already flipped, the only option you have is to add a sub-frame to provide the needed lift. Also, I believe that the RAMs may have a lift block that might be removed to lower the truck, but I could be wrong on that.
