My bed rails are 6.5 in at the front and 5 at the tailgate. I'm really hoping I'm overlooking something because I'm really not looking forward to the subframe mod. They quoted me $1,000 for the frame lift.
Once again best way to find the correct lift (sub frame size needed);
Well as far knowing how much sub frame you need Old_Biscuit is close, but missed an important step.
1st find a level parking lot not used on weekends so you have some time.
Then with TV and 5er hooked up park on the level area. At the pin location measure from ground to top of bed rail, call this "Measurement1".
Now chock the 5er wheels and disconnect the TV from the 5er, pull TV clear of the fiver, then level the 5er. Then at the pin measure the distance from the ground to the bottom of the 5er over hang, call this "Measurement2"
Now time for math (measurement1 + 6") - measurement2 = needed lift at axles.
