The first thing other than bed height you need to look at is payload. Look at your sticker in door jamb. The amount of weight the truck can carry as it left factory will tell you a lot. The loaded pin of any fifth wheel rv you choose will weigh around 20 percent of the fifth wheel gvwr. If you want to tow fiver, you should consider pin weight first then consider putting stock tires/wheels on the truck. With a 3/4 ton gasser especially with 3:73 axle I would keep fifth wheel gvwr at 10k or less.
Payload is 3048. We are looking at ultra lights and light models with dry weight of 7 to 9000 lbs. The problem seems to be in the bed height and not getting enough clearance from bed to fiver. I can't be the only one with a stock 4x4 dodge that is have this issue. I have the stock wheels on the truck, just changed to a more aggressive tread, gave us no more than an inch change.
